What do you do at Jitjatjo and how long have you been with the company?

I’ve been with Jitjatjo for over a year now and I’m the Client Success Manager.

What is your typical day like? 

Clients, clients, clients! When clients need support, I’m there! My typical day consists of managing clients’ needs - from managing bookings to working closely with the Community Engagement Team and Sales Team, plus working on account growth strategies, coaching my new team members, and more.

I often visit clients in person, which is what I love the most about my day-to-day. I am able to provide a demonstration of our Ondemand platform, ensuring they are set up correctly and ready to book our fabulous Talent.

Why did you choose Jitjatjo? 

With deep roots in the hospitality industry and experience working in a startup environment, it was a really easy decision for me to get involved with an innovative company in an industry that I love.

What is your greatest achievement to date – personal or professional? 

I grew up in South Africa and I am really proud of starting a life for myself in Australia, with all my family living in South Africa.

‍

What is the best career lesson you’ve learned so far? 

Always be proactive and have a positive attitude. Plus I always keep my family motto in mind, which is never give up!

‍

What has been your proudest moment at Jitjatjo?

When I started with Jitjatjo, we had only just launched in the Australian market so I have been very proud to see the growth of our client base and our overall Australian operations. It really is an amazing feat to go from unknown to a key player in casual hospitality staffing amongst the Australian hospitality industry.

‍

What do you hope to achieve in the coming months, year(s)?

We have only just launched in Melbourne (the second biggest Australian city), so I’d love to see our Melbourne market smash it. I’d also love to work with more major players in Sydney, growing our market share here. Lastly, growing our team always gives me a lot of joy, so I’d love to be involved in that too.
