About Amplify:

Amplify is an online platform that primary schools use to deliver the compulsory performing arts curriculum. We believe that no student should miss out on the intrinsic benefits of learning the arts at primary school and using technology is the only way to make it accessible and equitable for all. Our mission is to upskill and support primary school teachers to teach fun, engaging and enriching lessons that meet all curriculum outcomes, by giving them the tools they need delivered through state-of-the-art content and technology.

Whilst we have only been in the market in Australia for four years, we are growing fast and are already being used in over 1000 primary schools predominantly in the public and catholic sectors. We are also in the early stages of international expansion.

Our Core Values are the backbone of our business and guide our hiring process. We give a sh*t, we are memorable, we all have a love of learning, we are always adding value and we are ahead of the game. To be successful in the role, we must be aligned.

What's required for this role:

• Outgoing personality and great communication skills – you're someone people enjoy working with
• Some previous exposure to bookkeeping basics (AP, AR, reconciling accounts, file management)
• Energetic and proactive – you see what needs doing and just do it
• Someone who approaches tasks with a pragmatic, research-driven mindset and can present multiple options for simplified decision making
• Quick learner who's comfortable figuring things out
• Good with computers and software systems
• Strong attention to detail
• Team player who thrives in a social, collaborative office environment
• An enthusiastic approach to the work day

Education and Experience:

This is an entry-level position, but we're looking for someone with some exposure to bookkeeping – even if it's just from a previous admin role, TAFE course, or similar.

If you've worked in hospitality, retail, reception, or office environments, you're likely comfortable with varied tasks and interacting with people. We're looking for someone who's personable with admin-oriented skills. We value attitude, pragmatism, and potential over extensive experience.

Physical Requirements:

Our office is located in Surry Hills (Sydney) in very close proximity to public transport (train, bus, light rail) and surrounded by awesome cafes and places to eat.

We are a team that enjoys coming to the office and working together and are looking for someone interested in doing the same.

This role requires prolonged periods of sitting at a desk, working on the computer and talking on the phone. There may be errands that need to be completed outside of the office with most being able to be done on foot or by Uber/Taxi.
