Your team of approximately 100 colleagues sits within the Data Platforms Group Business Unit (GBU) division which comprises four delivery departments: Credit Risk; Financial Crime; Finance and Regulatory; and Corporate Services and Enterprise Risk.

An influential data leader, you will play a crucial role designing, building, and implementing data solutions for the department that works to protect the customers and community we serve.

Be a change agent, assisting Westpac’s data revolution to uplift data maturity across all the business units you work with, and refocus the respective department’s delivery model to drive customer insights through various data technologies.

Whatever shape your family takes, we offer generous paid and unpaid parental leave for your nominated primary and support carers. This includes leave to organise adoptions, surrogacy, and foster care arrangements.

**What do I need?**
- Advanced knowledge of modern data and integration technologies, data warehousing and cloud computing
- Senior and successful client stakeholder management (General Manager level)
- Client centricity; demonstrated understanding of the inter-relationship between IT and the business client
- Demonstrated experience leading large Agile teams, including external partners, that execute end-to-end programs and support mission-critical activities.
