Growth Ops Coordinator | Recruitment Agency | Sydney CBD (Hybrid)

Sydney, NSW Permanent

Varied ops, content and community role at a respected Sydney tech recruitment agency. Great for someone early in their career wanting real ownership.

  • Varied role spanning operations, content and community
  • Direct mentorship from our founder in a respected Sydney tech recruitment agency
  • Genuine progression into ops, BD, marketing, partnerships or community leadership

Assembling dream teams, one person at a time.

Since 2012, Lookahead has helped Australia’s best tech companies hire people who care about building great software. We’re not a big, faceless agency - we’re a close-knit team who’ve all come from technical backgrounds ourselves. We’ve written the code, shipped the products, and sat in the interviews.

We’ve grown almost entirely through reputation - referrals, long-term relationships, and genuinely being part of the Australian tech community. Now we’re looking for someone to become the operational engine behind that growth.

This is a varied one. You’ll help keep the business running smoothly day to day, you’ll help tell our story through content and social media, and you’ll represent us out in Sydney’s tech community. If you like variety, want real ownership early in your career, and enjoy being around people building interesting things - keep reading.

What you’ll do

Own inbound enquiries - Be the first point of contact for new business enquiries, qualifying opportunities and routing them to the right person on the team so nothing sits idle.

Keep the engine running - Maintain our CRM and support the recruitment team with the day-to-day operational tasks that keep the business moving smoothly.

Build our content presence - Own our LinkedIn, newsletter and blog, turning client stories, candidate wins and market insights into content people actually want to read.

Represent Lookahead in the community - Get out to Sydney tech meetups and events as a genuine, active participant, building real relationships across the startup and engineering community.

Who we’re looking for

  • Someone naturally organised who likes keeping things on track
  • A confident, engaging writer - you don’t need a journalism degree, just the ability to write like a human
  • Comfortable meeting new people and making a great first impression
  • Curious about technology, startups, and the people building them
  • Someone who takes ownership rather than waiting to be told what to do next
  • Happy wearing a few different hats in a growing business

Background in recruitment, customer success, marketing, operations, community, sales support, or a startup environment would all be useful - but honestly, attitude matters more than your CV. If you’re early in your career and looking for a role with real variety and room to grow, we want to hear from you.

What’s in it for you

  • Competitive salary based on experience
  • Hybrid working out of our Sydney CBD office
  • Direct mentorship from our founder and a team who’ve built one of Australia’s most respected specialist technology recruitment businesses
  • A front-row seat to Australia’s tech ecosystem - startups to enterprise, founders to CTOs
  • Genuine progression - depending on what you’re good at and enjoy, this role can grow into operations, business development, marketing, partnerships or community leadership
