Our core values
If our friends described us and they said the following four things, we’d be rapt:
Committed
We’re not afraid to take on something huge. We don’t let the size of the task or the doubters get us down. We keep going hard and really believe we can make the world better.
Honest
We don’t waste time on BS. We just want to get on with it so we’re honest with ourselves and others. But, we’re not rude about it.
Inclusive
We make you feel welcome. There’s no need to prove you’re good enough. It’s ok if you don’t wear lycra and ok if you do – even if it’s white.
Progressive
We’re always trying to improve. We know that what got the job done yesterday won’t today. So we’re always innovating.
Why work with us?
Heaps of annual leave
We all need a break at times – that’s why we offer 6 weeks annual leave and free international travel insurance for you and your family.
Paid parental leave
We offer 8 weeks of paid leave for all new parents. Bicycle Network is one big family, so we welcome yours.
Helping you ride
We’re all about making it easy for people to get active, so we practice what we preach. Our office has next level end-of-trip facilities, salary packaging for bikes and a program to help celebrate every time you ride, walk or run to work.
Learning & development
We know that what for the job done yesterday won’t cut it today so we have dedicated personal development time each month and regular in-house training sessions for the whole team.
Making an impact
There are a few days each year where we ask everyone to get outside of the office and help out – we call them our big bike days. You’ll find yourself in an Australian community amongst bike riders and working closely with your teammates. This is where the magic happens!
Social events
Drinks are on us! We huddle together every month to play games, welcome newcomers, and celebrate work anniversaries and team achievements.
