Senior P&C Business Partner

Our Brand: 

Founded in Sydney in 1938, Oroton was established with a desire to combine creativity and fine craftmanship with a unique Australian sense of beauty. Those values still hold true 85 years later as Oroton moves forward into a new era, guided by our passion for creating modern luxury for Australian life. 

At Oroton, we believe in living an inspired life – a thoughtful collection of moments and memories made with care and love. That’s why every piece we make is made to last. Made to be worn and worn again. To be connected to a moment or memory, to be part of your story. 

We have a unique and exciting opportunity for a Senior P&C Business Partner to be part of our story.
