Culture of collaboration attracts new talent to APM

Paula Scagliola came to know (and love!) APM as an event manager for our 2023 Global Leadership Forum, bringing together senior leaders from around the world to collaborate and drive connection to our shared purpose of enabling better lives.

With experience in event management for major hotels and conference centres, Paula had worked with a number of clients over the years but tells us that APM’s culture really stood out to her.

“The kind and supportive nature of everyone I worked with at APM to make the event a success caught my attention. I could sense the commitment to cooperation and I was drawn to the focus on people – making lives better around the world - but I also felt the importance placed on the wellbeing of its own people.”

Exploring a new career path 

Paula kept APM top of mind as she’d planned a move to Perth, where APM began, and re-connected with the team once she’d settled in her new city.

“I was looking for a change and I felt like APM would be a great place to build a new career. My own personal values were a good match for APM’s focus on teamwork and quality service delivery.”


Paula was encouraged to explore APM’s current openings and set her sights on a Property Services Coordinator role that aligned with her client relationship management experience and organisational skills. 

Soon after, Paula successfully interviewed for the role and joined APM to oversee maintenance and administration for our offices across Western Australia, Queensland, and New Zealand’s North Island. 

Fast forward another couple of years, and Paula’s APM career pathway has moved even further forward! Following a period of parental leave, she’s now a Leasing Manager in our Property Team, with responsibility for overseeing and managing lease agreements for APM offices across the country.

“I’m proud to play a role in enabling better lives by creating comfortable and functional spaces for our people to deliver our services to the people we work with to find employment, or treat in an allied health capacity. Ensuring an effective and collaborative environment for our people is also important. 

“Every day, I can see the impact APM has on the communities we serve and how valued our role can be. As part of the team, I’ve experienced the respect APM has for its people and I’ve been supported to learn new skills. I’m grateful for the opportunities I’ve had to build on my APM career and can’t wait to see what might be next for me here!”
