Location: Brisbane HQ, Australia

Ready to make your mark at the world's leading sandwich brand?

Why Join Subway?

At Subway, we're building something significant. Our mission is clear — to grow franchisee profitability, brand relevance, and long-term value — and our corporate teams sit at the heart of making that happen.

We're a business that believes in meritocracy. Results open doors here, and the people who thrive are those who bring accountability, strategic thinking, and a genuine drive to create long-term impact. You'll be empowered to think and act like an owner — because that's exactly what we need from our people.

We move with pace and purpose. We adapt quickly, focus on innovation where it counts, and aren't afraid to make bold decisions. Alongside that, integrity is non-negotiable — we hold ourselves to the highest standards in how we work, how we lead, and how we treat one another.

And while we take our work seriously, we also know that the best results come from teams who celebrate progress, support each other, and bring real energy to what they do.
