Happiness HeroLocation: Newcastle, NSW | Hybrid (3 days in-office, 2 days WFH)

A little bit about us

Hello, we’re Mustard and we make colourful furniture designed to bring joy to everyday spaces. We’re a growing, design-led brand selling direct to customers around the world, alongside an expanding B2B channel.

Our Happiness team is right at the heart of the customer experience. They help customers choose the right product, solve problems when something doesn’t go to plan and make sure every interaction feels thoughtful, practical and very Mustard.

As we continue to grow, so does the number of customers reaching out to us. We’re looking for another lovely human to join the team in Newcastle and help us continue delivering the level of service our customers know us for.
