SHARING PASSION & PERFORMANCE

MEET YOUR COLLEAGUES
Larissa
The name Yamaha plays a big role as it’s such an iconic and well-known brand, so that was definitely the first thing that got my attention. After that, I realised that my team was amazing and everyone’s always happy to help. I really love my job and the people I work with.
Steve
Variety. I expected to work here for maybe 2–3 years, but 16 years later I am still here and still excited. A big part of this is the evolution of the company and the people around me. At first I was all about gear, now I am passionate about helping the people around me grow and be the best they can be — and letting them teach me and inspire me to do the same for myself.
Dilani
Friendly, engaging individuals working passionately towards a common goal of achieving the Yamaha Way.
Boyd
There’s a great deal of flexibility in both my role and the responsibilities I undertake, as well as where and when I complete the work depending on my current workload and home life requirements.
