Base pay range

Hi, we’re PEXA!

We know you’ll Google us before applying, so let’s keep this brief. PEXA revolutionised the way that property is settled in Australia, turning a paper-based process into a digital one. Our solution is a world-first, with over 500 people across Australia and an expanding international team, we’re helping 20,000+ families into their homes each week.

We’re passionate about solving problems for our customers – always striving to set the standard for how property is bought and sold. Being awarded as one of the best places to work in Australia is a recognition of our culture and commitment to innovation, customers and our community.

We’re growing fast, that is where you come in.

We believe our success in Australia is worth sharing and that our proven technology will advance how the UK buys and sells homes.

Establishing ourselves within the UK in late 2020, we are committed to collaborating with lawyers, conveyancers, lenders, government and the property industry, to set the new standard for both remortgages and buying and selling property.

Why become a PEXArian?

Great question! Being a PEXArian is so much more than just a job. We’re a passionate, motivated and unashamedly enthusiastic bunch at PEXA – we love what we do and we’re proud to admit it! Creating brilliant experiences for our members and their clients wouldn’t be possible without ensuring we deliver an exceptional employee experience.

Here’s a snapshot of what your life at PEXA could look like:

Your growth:

We encourage you to hit your personal and professional learning and development goals with our tailored programs and tools.

Your wellness:

We care about your holistic wellbeing

Your work/life blend:

We know that work is just one aspect of your life – we want to help you create your ideal work/life blend, rather than squeezing in life around work.

You will be the lead across multiple related projects to achieve strategic organisational goals, ensuring alignment with business objectives, managing resources, and driving successful programme delivery. You will provide leadership, strategic direction, and guidance to project teams, while also managing stakeholders and mitigating risks.

You are approachable, professional, positive and flexible and take pride in the successful interaction and delivery of any change to the delight and amazement of our customer’s experience!

You will work across a diverse range of projects, from a very small quick change, to long, complex and time-consuming implementation.

You will align to the UK Change Framework, using tried and tested project methodology and artefacts to plan, manage and inform of progress, implementation and success. Whilst always being mindful of mitigating risk and ensuring we align to regulatory requirements.

You will build and maintain strong stakeholder and network relationships both internally and externally and provide regular updates and reporting to these including UK and Group Executives.

As a ‘start up’ business in the UK, our ever-evolving change will be continuous and challenging, so having a flexible and pragmatic approach to support our strategic direction is critical to our customer centric focus and continuous improvement.
