Are you a Dabbler?

A Dabbler’s attitude is paramount; the right person will learn quickly and adapt to any skill gaps. A Dabbler is always a team player, with a willingness to share with and learn from others. Being a remote-first workplace, collaborative working styles are crucial to empower and grow each member (we prefer openness via public channels to problem solve or ideate on Slack).

A Dabbler uses their freedom of autonomy to its absolute potential and enjoys contributing to the Dabble community. We hold respect for peers very highly – there is no such thing as a bad idea. We encourage you to think differently, be brave and strive to raise the bar. Dabble embraces empowerment of all people at any level of seniority and experience to own their work and speak up where they can.

A fulfilling life extends beyond work; we encourage priority of self-care and well-being, taking breaks when needed, setting boundaries, and seeking support when facing challenges. We are committed to creating a safe environment where individuals feel comfortable discussing their well-being and accessing resources when necessary.

Remuneration

The advertised salary for this position is $120,000 - $140,000 + Super + Benefits with room to be flexible.
