Moving to a part time role with OneReg has given me the space to be fully present for my family while staying engaged in a career I love. My work hours have sharpened focus, increased efficiency, and a complete clarity around delivering impact. And then I go home and spend precious time with my daughters while they’re only young once.

Success in this role comes from operating in a high trust environment and maintaining open communication. OneReg is a high-growth startup that measures results and isn’t worried about where or how anyone works to achieve those results.

I wish more employers understood that senior part time work is not a compromise — it is a strategic advantage. It enables leaders to bring their best energy to the role, broadens the talent pool for critical positions, and fosters incredible staff loyalty. People will enthusiastically contribute so much to your organisation if they also have the time to fill up their cup and be there for what's most important to them outside of work.

Fundamentally, performance should be measured in impact, not hours.
