  • Proven capacity to managing a business portfolio with diverse functions, needs and people

  • Modern Office with Sustainable Amenities. Newly revamped office located in Thornleigh featuring the latest technology and electric car chargers to support eco-friendly commuting.
  • Paid Parental Leave. We proudly support growing families with paid parental leave top-up options, helping you take the time you need while maintaining financial stability.
  • Birthday & Volunteer Leave. Enjoy a day-off during your birthday month and 3 days annually to volunteer for a registered charity you are passionate about.
  • Ongoing Professional Development.  We are committed to developing our people by investing in leadership programs and free access to LinkedIn Learning.
  • Macca’s Staff Discount & Retail Discounts. Enjoy discounted Macca’s at any restaurant across Australia and access to hundreds of retail discounts.
  • Access To Our 24/7 Wellbeing Partner (Sonder) For You & Your Immediate Family. Using the Sonder app, access free and confidential safety, medical and mental health support via chat or phone with accredited professionals.
