About the team

CBA's Institutional Banking and Markets (IB&M) is responsible for managing the Group's relationships with major corporate and government clients and institutional investors. It provides a full range of capital raising, transactional, and risk management products and services. IB&M also plays a critical internal role by delivering equities, markets, lending, and transaction banking execution capabilities to other CBA business units, enabling them to capture opportunities with business customers.

The Global Lending Product team has end-to-end accountability for key lending products distributed through both IB&M and Business Banking. This team is crucial in driving improvement in lending capability, process, and client experience. We make decisions on product strategy, design, and roadmap to support IB&M's growth ambitions.
