Why Digital & Technology at Nine is different
Make it happen
Our people join us for many reasons. But most stay for the work they get to do. It’s varied, it’s stimulating and it’s built on real collaboration.
There’s never a shortage of interesting problems to solve. Our products may already be industry-leading, but we’re not stopping there. Our teams are agile and progressive. Here, you’ll find more variety, more exposure, and more growth.
The real win? You’ll join a team that has your back. Egos are left at the door, and curiosity leads the way. It’s how we find the best solutions together - and how you’ll build friendships that go beyond work. You’ll find open collaboration, leadership that listens, and colleagues who support you.
Make it count
Want to work with products with huge reach and purpose?
Some companies offer real purpose. Others are pushing the boundaries and driving progress at scale. Our people say it’s rare to find the best of both – and that’s why they choose us.
Millions of Australians engage with the content we produce, and our Digital & Tech team is at the heart of it all. The products you work on don’t just support our business; they shape the way Australians access news, entertainment, and sport. Whether it’s powering a major sporting livestream, optimising ad delivery for our customers, or enhancing user accessibility, your work makes a real difference.
The problems you solve or the solutions you build help us bring Australians together – for the big moments and the everyday ones. It doesn’t get much more meaningful than that. This is how you’ll help us have an impact on society.

Want ownership and opportunity that defines your career?
Do you want to join when the work’s all done? Or do you want to be the one who builds it?
Our teams thrive on trust, ownership, and collaboration. They say they’re enabled and empowered to think differently and make decisions that are driving Nine forward. The experience you’ll gain from having your voice heard and your ideas rolled out is hard to get just anywhere.
A role with us will help you shape a fulfilling, dynamic career path.
