Brand Strategist in Melbourne

At Megaport, we don’t just do creative.

It’s baked into our DNA, our culture, our swag.

We move fast, think differently, and conjure up wild ideas and scroll-stopping visuals faster than you can say, “just make it pop!”

We’re a team of tech-loving, meme-slinging, Nerf dart-dodging nerds on a mission to reinvent global connectivity and compute.

Now, we’re on the hunt for a superstar who can match our energy, juice up our brand, and turn ideas into jaw-dropping designs.

We’ve recently 5x’d our target addressable market, and we need a

Brand Strategist who will lead our creative team to capture this new audience.

Reporting into the CMO, this isn’t your average “make the logo bigger” gig.

This is where your creativity can run free, concepts get weird (in the best way), and your work helps shape a global brand.

Leave Times New Roman to the accountants; this is a role where you can put your passion into action.

You are someone ready to jump into this rocketship and help us stomp on the accelerator.

We are open to candidates based in Brisbane, Sydney, or Melbourne.

For those located in Brisbane, we are seeking someone who can work in a hybrid capacity, with regular in-office presence.

For candidates based in Sydney or Melbourne, the role will be primarily remote.

About Megaport

We’re not your typical tech company – and we don’t want to be.

Megaport is the global leader in Network as a Service (Naa S), and has transformed the way businesses connect to the cloud, data centers, and each other.

We’re publicly listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and partnered with the biggest names in tech like Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Oracle, IBM, and more.

Headquartered in Brisbane with a crew of over 400 people spread across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Americas, our employees enjoy an environment that is collaborative, supportive, and (actually) fun.

Our Team Culture

We’re a team of problem solvers, pixel pushers, code slingers, and cloud fanatics.

Culture is more than a poster on the wall here – collaboration beats hierarchy, curiosity fuels our growth, and everyone’s voice matters.

We take our work seriously, but not ourselves.

We work across time zones to execute on our global vision, trust each other to get things done, and never compromise our values for commercial gain.

Most importantly, we place our customers at the center of everything we do.

We’re committed to increasing representation in the tech industry and welcome applicants from all backgrounds.

Don’t meet every requirement?

That’s okay.

If you’re excited about this role, we encourage you to apply.
