Your business
You're part of the Chief Customer Office. We're a customer-obsessed bunch, committed to helping all Australians own their own home. Together, we manage the entire customer experience.

From attracting new customers through our strong brand and clever propositions, to retaining them and making them brand advocates through our award-winning products, service and support.

Customer growth is a big focus for us. So big in fact, it's a key pillar of our growth strategy, G24. Why? Because growth means we can invest in even better propositions and experiences for our customers.

This is a full-time position based in Great Southern Bank's Head Office located in Brisbane CBD

Your team
You will be joining the Corporate Affairs & Sustainability team. Our job is to lead Great Southern Bank's sustainability program, tell our story, and protect our brand and reputation.

Through your work, you will have the opportunity to bring our purpose to life, contribute to social and environmental outcomes, and influence strong corporate governance.

  • Reconciliation including an action plan, working group, partnerships, events and reporting.
  • Community investment including impact measurement framework, partnerships, employee giving program and reporting.
  • Climate action including an action plan, working group, sciencebased targets, partnerships and reporting.
  • Climate risk including scenario analysis, risk assessments, stress tests and ongoing risk management.
  • Responsible banking including meeting regulatory requirements, investment and lending exclusions, memberships and signatories and reporting aligned to international best practice and Australian legislation.

Examples of how you might contribute:


  • Strategy: Support the development and implementation of Great Southern Bank's sustainability strategy and program, tailoring this in response to internal expectations and growing external trends so we remain competitive and sustainable in the future.
-
Stewardship: Advocate for, and support the implementation of, social, environmental and governance improvements to our operations, procurement, investments, products and services. Support the development of new proof points of our purpose and sustainability strategy. Identify areas for improvement.

-
Reporting: Support (and in some instances, lead) sustainability reporting and disclosures aligned to international best practice and Australian legislation and required through our memberships and external commitments.
-
Governance**: Maintain effective governance processes to ensure Great Southern Bank meets all current and incoming regulation and all its public sustainability commitments. Implement corrective processes across the bank if needed. Support the Sustainability Manager with Board and Executive Committee reporting and papers, managing committees and working groups, preparing presentations and engaging senior leaders. Operate in line with Great Southern Bank policies and procedures and risk appetite.
