Founded by Katherine McConnell, Brighte is a fast‑growing business with a strong focus on sustainability, innovation and putting people first. We’re proud to have been recognised as an AFR Sustainability Leader in the Banking and Finance category and to have won the inaugural Sustainability Award at the Affies.

• Supporting requests relating to withdrawals and cancellations


• Working towards agreed customer service targets and service levels

You’ll be part of a supportive team of Customer Support Officers locally, working alongside team members overseas.

What will you bring?

You’ll bring:

• A recently completed or nearly completed tertiary qualification


• Some customer service experience, gained through hospitality, retail, contact centre work or a similar environment


• Strong verbal and written communication skills


• Confidence speaking with different types of people


• Empathy, patience and the ability to stay calm in challenging situations

Your degree can be in any discipline. We’re more interested in your potential, customer service mindset, and enthusiasm for taking the first step in your career.

What’s in it for you?

• Structured training and ongoing mentorship


• Clear opportunities to develop your career with Brighte


• Flexible working arrangements and a hybrid work model


• The autonomy to work from home or from our Sydney office


• An office located five minutes from Wynyard Station


• Free lunch every Tuesday


• Regular social activities, including our Thursday social events


• Snacks, fresh fruit and drinks available in the office


• End‑of‑trip facilities with towel service and hair dryers

Our hiring process

At Brighte, we use AI every day, and we’re looking for people who are curious about how technology can improve the way we work.

As part of our hiring process, all roles include an assessment designed to understand how you think and how you use AI in practice. There’s no right tool — while we use Claude, you can use whichever tool you’re most comfortable with. We’ll provide more information during the recruitment process.

Towards the end of the process, successful candidates will be required to complete reference and background checks, including police, anti‑money laundering, and bankruptcy checks.

If you’re ready to take your first step into the corporate world and build your career with Brighte, we’d love to hear from you.

Every applicant will receive a response.
