About Us

Nearly 30 years ago, we entered the market as a challenger brand, but today we're redefining what Australians can expect from a telco. Our vision is to be Australia's most loved everyday brand with lasting customer relationships. We’re committed to using our resources, relationships and capabilities to make a positive contribution in our society. We are constantly innovating and so there are many opportunities across our business for amazing individuals early in their career who are looking to be at the forefront of connecting Australia. Our diverse workforce creates a vibrant and welcoming workplace where our different perspectives give us our edge. We encourage and give our people flexibility to be the best version of themselves, from our hybrid workplaces to providing additional leave for purchase. You can loosen the tie at Optus, as we’re innovating not conforming.

Optus Marketing is one of the many reasons we're one of the strongest brands in Australia. As a marketplace challenger, we’ve never been afraid to do things differently. Our Marketing teams have expertise across, but not limited to, Product Marketing, Brand Marketing, Marcomms and Channel Marketing. Our Regulatory and Public Affairs (RAPA) team is accountable for managing Optus’ relationship and strategic engagement with key external stakeholders from the Government, Regulators and the media.
