You’ll also develop and mentor a direct report and work closely with LeadCo, giving you meaningful influence on strategic decision-making across the business.

• Meaningful perks: STI/LTI for all, “Me Days” (extra paid leave), Birthday gifts, and discounts across health, retail, and lifestyle.
• Support when it matters: Parental leave top-up so you receive your full salary during leave, not just government payments.
