You will also:
- have a strong track record of being an exceptional team member, known for delivering accurate information and insights while collaborating effortlessly with people from all backgrounds.

What’s in it for you
In return, we offer a competitive salary package, including fully subsidised health insurance, flexible working, free parking, onsite subsidised café and mini mart, participation in the company superannuation fund and lots of learning and development opportunities!
