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 (NaaS), 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 350 people spread across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Americas, our employees enjoy an environment that is collaborative, supportive, and (actually) fun.

NICE TO HAVE, BUT NOT ESSENTIAL TRAITS AND EXPERIENCE

• Experience working in a global organisation with multi-jurisdictional operations
• Familiarity with Microsoft Dynamics D365 or other large ERP systems
