How will I Help?


This role has primary responsibility for the editorial direction and success of Westpac Wire, Westpac's well respected external digital news platform.

Since 2017, this unique corporate news site has been successfully nurtured to deliver on its aim of surfacing up important and engaging news, ideas, and expertise of people both within and external (but connected) to the bank.

It's become a central source of trusted and shareable stories to enhance the bank's reputation, engage audiences, help Westpac's 40,000 employees act as advocates, and provide rich pickings to 'opinion seekers' on expert insight into banking industry and social trends.

The audience is diverse (as diverse as the bank's customer base), and stories are "targeted" to segments.

In addition to providing editorial direction, this is a hands-on role in sourcing news, writing, editing, presenting yarns, continuing to build on the success of the platform, while also coaching other team members across the bank to add to the platform's success.

This role also has overall responsibility for Westpac's internal video services function, supporting the video production team.

So, we'll back you in the development of your career, internal career prospects, and flexible working. You'll also keep learning to grown, backed by a fantastic team of people with a can-do, supportive structure.

Whatever shape your family takes, we offer generous paid and unpaid parental leave for your nominated primary and support carers.
