Optus cuts comms roles as NBN Co alumni move in

Optus is overhauling its communications and corporate affairs structure and has cut up to nine roles, as former NBN Co staff join its comms and marketing leadership ranks.

Australia’s second-largest telecommunications provider has cut up to six roles in its internal communications unit and removed three positions in external communications, with those in the latter required to reapply for their roles.

All new hires into the external unit are contractors rather than full-time staff, Mumbrella understands.
