10x Ways of Working

We recognise that a better work/life balance can improve people's motivation, performance and overall wellbeing. The Covid-19 pandemic changed a lot of things about the way we work, including the enablement of colleagues working from various locations and delivering high performance through the effective use of remote working technology.

10x is a fully 'remote enabled' organisation and supports agile working. This role has a minimum office attendance requirement of approx. 1-2 times per week, in agreement with your line manager.

As all employees are employed on Sydney based contracts, commuting costs to the office are covered by employees and not by 10x.

We are building a community where every 10xer can bring their authentic self to work and feel empowered to reach their full potential. Our many employee networks help amplify this vision.  

Alongside assessing technical capabilities to do the role, our assessment process will identify what you can uniquely bring to our 10x teams, and the potential you have to thrive here. Common to every role that 10xers perform, are 3 core competencies that we look for in our future 10xers – Business Impact, Change Driver & Delivery Excellence
