  • Relevant tertiary qualifications: Commerce, Finance, Law, Engineering, Accounting or Business

  • Financial services industry experience (highly regarded)

  • Experience with digital conversion / funnel management (highly regarded)

  • Demonstrated experience working in Strategy teams and/or in:

  • Strong commercial acumen, including qualitative and quantitative analysis (financial modelling, market sizing, competitor reviews)

  • Strong verbal and written communication with experience in developing Board papers

  • Enjoys leading strategic projects, managing cross-business teams and can quickly build lasting relationships

But we do not just look for someone based on their skills and expertise. It's our connection, acceptance, and genuine care for each other that makes REA a great place to work. That means you also need to be:

  • Creative, savvy minded and can think a little left of field / outside the box

  • A strong and creative communicator

  • Friendly, approachable and have good relationship management skills

  • An avid supporter of our fully inclusive culture - we celebrate difference and ensure that everyone belongs

Some of these things might push you out of your comfort zone or you might be looking at this thinking you can absolutely flourish in this role… Whatever you think, we think you should throw your hat in the ring
