What’s In It For You

At Compare the Market and iSelect, we’re all about helping people make smart choices – and joining us might just be yours. We offer an environment where your ideas are heard, your contributions are valued, and your growth genuinely matters. Collaboration is part of our DNA, and you’ll be joining a supportive, forward-thinking team where you can do meaningful work (and be recognised for it!) 

We’re guided by three shared values that shape how we work, how we treat each other, and how we show up for our customers - Drive, Noble Intent and All Together.

Plus, we offer a range of great perks to help you thrive both in and out of work:

• Vibrant and social community who have annual celebrations, family fun days and regular events
• Enjoy flexible work arrangements, including the option of one day working from home each week or a 9-day fortnight
• Enjoy additional leave days - ‘ME’ leave and ‘Volunteer Day’ leave
• Employee discounts on car and home and contents insurance
• Income protection insurance provided to support you in the event of non-work-related illness or injury

What Sets You Apart

We’re looking for a CMS pro with at least five years’ experience in web app development. You’ll be confident with JavaScript, Next.js, React, HTML, and CSS, and have hands-on experience with CMS platforms (WordPress, Drupal, Joomla) and PHP where needed.

Bonus points if you bring know-how in AWS, Azure DevOps (CI/CD and ticketing), databases, or headless CMS. Extra credit for familiarity with SEO, cloud hosting, CDNs, Docker or Kubernetes.

Alongside your tech skills, you’ll thrive on solving problems, collaborating with teams and keeping the details sharp.
