Customer Service Officer

Come shape the future of education with us.

We are Compass - smart school management in one connected platform. We believe that time spent in the classroom should be for learning and teaching.

Our two co-founders John and Lucas met over a team lunch and while chowing down on their cafeteria sandwiches they bonded over their unapologetically nerdy love for education technology. After months of white-boarding and long days spent writing thousands of lines of code, Compass 1.0 came to life in 2009 in Lucas' parents' garage.

Fast forward a decade - it's no longer just John and Lucas eating sandwiches at the lunch table. Our school management ecosystem is now used in more than 5,000 schools across Australia and beyond. We're joined by over 260+ members of the Compass team, delivering smart school management solutions around the world.
