About us

At Compass, our people are united by a common purpose. We have just embarked on an exciting journey of growth and market opportunities and are looking for a talented and passionate Marketing Manager to join us for the ride. At Compass we believe that the time spent in class should be for learning and teaching. By reducing the administrative burden for schools, Compass provides more time to nurture the school community.

Remember how important values were for your school? It’s the same at Compass. Our values guide how and why we work.

At Compass we:

• Work to Wow - Dynamic, enthusiastic, motivated: we aspire to break new ground. Guided by research, we constantly iterate and improve to deliver the best solution to meet the needs of our customers. We work to set the benchmark to always help.
• Conquer the impossible - When we face challenges together, few problems are unsolvable. We play to each other’s strengths and work collaboratively to achieve our shared objectives. We’re constantly creating products we stand behind in a workplace we’re proud of.
• Be the School - Teachers and students, principals and admin staff, parents, and guardians: school communities make Compass. They are the reason we work tirelessly to make their lives easier and help them bring their school’s vision to life. We understand their needs, goals and ambitions in order to do our best work.
• Are Prepared, and Do it Yesterday - We plan and we prioritise but we are still agile and responsive. We work with passion and urgency, but we measure and consider variables, to deliver a high-quality solution. ‘Be Prepared’ is being ready, not reactive. We walk before we run, so we can outperform the competition and reach amazing heights they couldn’t conceive.
