Leading hiring, recruitment, and performance reviews, encouraging engagement, passion, and knowledge-sharing within the chapter is a critical responsibility.

Promoting innovation, creativity, and a diverse, inclusive environment aligned with Optus' values, driving continuous improvement and excellence is essential.
