Marketing & Brand DirectorKany’e Thomas
Kanye brings fresh eyes and creative energy to the FIFO Buddy brand. Growing up with a FIFO parent, he understands the family side of this lifestyle better than most.
FIFO Buddy Coach
The FIFO Buddy Coach is a unique role — part educator, part community builder, part mate. You'll be the face of FIFO Buddy for our users, running in-person onboarding sessions at mining camps and villages, creating how-to videos, answering questions, and making sure every FIFO worker gets the most out of the app. Ideal for someone with a FIFO background who loves people, communication and making a difference. No corporate fluff — just real help for real people doing a hard job."
