• Tech Explorer: You enjoy helping customers understand technology, breaking it down simply and guiding them to the right solution.
• Problem‑Solving Pro: You listen with empathy, act with genuine curiosity and integrity, and turn challenges into opportunities to help with calm, practical solutions.
• Composure Under Pressure: You stay steady during tricky situations, easing tension with care and working toward the best result for the customer.

• Competitive remuneration and access to exclusive discounts. Make life easier (and more affordable) with $80 monthly credit and 25% off Optus products and unique shopping discounts with our retail partners.
• Embrace what matters most with a paid Connected Day each year to focus on culture, family, health, community, or whatever’s important to you.
• Build meaningful connections through people-led networks and diversity initiatives including Culture Connect, Elevate Women, Disability Network and Express Yourself (LGBTQIA+).
