Our solution is a world-first, with over 500 people across Australia and an expanding international team, we’re helping 20,000+ families into their homes each week.

We’re passionate about solving problems for our customers – always striving to set the standard for how property is bought and sold. Being awarded as one of the best places to work in Australia is a recognition of our culture and commitment to innovation, customers and our community.

We’re growing fast, that is where you come in.

You will align to the UK Change Framework, using tried and tested project methodology and artefacts to plan, manage and inform of progress, implementation and success. Whilst always being mindful of mitigating risk and ensuring we align to regulatory requirements.

You will build and maintain strong stakeholder and network relationships both internally and externally and provide regular updates and reporting to these and management.
