Brand Strategist at Megaport – Sydney, Florida

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 Creative Director 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.
