About us

At Datacom, we combine technology, expertise, and talented people to help organisations thrive in a rapidly changing world. As one of Australasia's leading technology providers, we work with customers across industries to solve real-world problems and deliver meaningful outcomes.

Whether we're supporting governments, enterprise organisations, or growing businesses, we're committed to creating meaningful outcomes for our customers, communities, and each other.

About the Role

The Knowledge Manager plays a crucial role in supporting the management of knowledge across specific functional areas of Datacom. You'll be responsible for creating, sharing, using and managing information and knowledge about Datacom products and services including manuals, help systems, on-line tutorials, installation guides and quick reference guides using software tools and system components. This role is instrumental in building a knowledge-sharing culture that enables our teams to work at their best.

Our offices are based in Sydney. We like to bring people together in person when we can, but we are mindful of the benefits of working from home for work/life balance. We therefore leave it to you and the team you join to figure out what works best!

Please note: This role will be offered as a 12-month fixed term contract.

What you'll do

• Actively identifying and supporting the automation of labour-intensive repetitive tasks using the Datacom knowledge management frameworks
• Implementing a principle-driven health and safety culture that cares for employees and ensures their safety in line with Datacom policy

We are a pretty agile company, and are keen to respond to customer, technology and internal stakeholders' changing requirements and this can mean we evolve in our roles to meet those needs.
