- An influential communicator who can synthesise complex information and ideas succinctly and rally the broader organisation to deliver our strategy
- Resilience, self-efficacy, and a high motivation to thrive in a VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) environment
- Commercially astute and passionate about being data-driven
- Ability to lead and manage projects with multiple stakeholders
- A degree or post-graduate qualifications in a related discipline (Finance, Business, MBA)

We want you to make an impact. You will be part of a growing and innovative organisation, with the ability to influence the people, culture and practices of Great Southern Bank to keep us at the top of our game.

You will be able to make a bigger difference with us While we might be a bit smaller than the majors, your circle of influence is infinitely greater. You will see the immediate results of your work, be recognised for your achievements, and be provided with the support you need to help balance your career.
