Come shape the future of education with us.

At Compass, we're on a mission to transform the school day for everyone, from staff and students to families and administrators. We build smart, seamless technology that empowers schools to focus on what really matters: learning, growing and thriving.

That mission has fuelled our growth into a global scale-up, now supporting 5,400+ schools across three countries, backed by a team of 300+ people. Our all-in-one school management platform is redefining how education communities connect, communicate and operate.

We're now looking for an Office Coordinator to keep our Sydney office running at its best.

You'll also provide administrative support to members of our senior leadership team. This is a varied role that combines office coordination, executive support and event organisation.

It's a great opportunity for someone with a few years of administrative or coordination experience who is organised and proactive, and who enjoys a busy, fast-paced environment.

Executive Support

• Coordinate calendars, schedule meetings and provide day-to-day administrative support to senior leaders.
• Support meetings with agendas, note-taking and follow-ups.
• Assist with preparing documents, presentations and basic reporting.
• Manage travel bookings (flights, accommodation and car hire) and expense administration for assigned leaders.
• Help triage incoming requests and make sure they get timely, professional responses.

Events & Culture

• Help organise internal events, team activities and office initiatives, from leadership offsites and team lunches to end-of-year celebrations.
• Coordinate catering and logistics for meetings and small events.
• Partner with the People & Talent team on culture initiatives and in-office experiences.
