The combination of great people and cutting-edge technology enable us to pay around 100,000 teachers and support staff across around 2,500 schools accurately and on time every fortnight. That’s approximately $283 million a fortnight and $7.4 billion per annum.

  • Be experienced in building and maintaining supplier relationships
  • Be able to support leaders through the procurement and contract management process
