Our Graduate Program is a challenging and rewarding way to kick-start a long-term career with us.   

As the public face of CommBank, we in Retail Banking Services deliver a seamless banking experience for the future to over 10+ million personal and small business customers. Our teams manage the development and delivery of all retail products, drive innovation in retail payments and develop the Retail Bank's strategic direction.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR YOU

We are looking for results driven, solution focused problem solvers. You'll be a strong role model of our purpose and values, and demonstrate leadership attributes.

You are able to work both autonomously and collaboratively, and are excited to take on project based work.

Strong interpersonal and communication skills are essential, and proactivity is a must, but above all you have a passion for delivering exceptional customer service. 

WE INVEST IN YOUR FUTURE

When you join our Graduate Program, you join as a full-time permanent employee. So you know we're invested in you to transition from full-time study to full-time life!

It centres around 4 key elements:

  • Shine: Contribute from day one by working on real projects that impact our business and our customers, within Australia's largest bank.
  • Develop: Participate in market-leading training to develop your technical and soft skills. This will help with the transition to full-time work from university and ensure you excel in your immediate and future roles.
  • Network: Build networks and friendships through unparalleled access to senior leaders, project leads and program sponsors, enhancing your personal and business profile.
  • Contribute: Give back to the community through graduate initiatives, driving positive change across our organisation and improving the wellbeing of our graduate cohort.

Our Retail Banking Services (Commercial) stream offers an 18 month head office program commencing 15th February 2021. This includes three structured Retail Banking rotations, as well as invaluable Design Thinking training and branch and call centre exposure, to really understand and anticipate our customer's needs. Throughout the program you will get the chance to rotate through three key Retail Bank areas (Channel Support, Product and a Specialisation of your choice), which will allow you to build diverse capabilities. We want you to join us in making banking better.

Pros and cons of working at Commonwealth Bank

Pros

  • Great work-life balance, surrounded by brilliant people

  • It is a very big organisation and there are many opportunities outside your business area. There are secondment roles opportunities which give you a chance to try a role outside your speciality. The Graduate Program has provided excellent conferences all throughout the year which are very valuable for our professional development.

  • Great workplace culture with lots of career development. People are friendly and willing to help.

  • Flexible working arrangements Ability to move around to different teams Different initiatives that run in the bank, that you're able to join The number of networks you're able to make

  • A great place to work - there is flexible work culture, we are strongly focused on helping our community, plus the pay is good too :)

Cons

    • Fairly strict graduate rotation policy, not full freedom of where we can rotate

    • Large company so at times it can be very difficult to get what you need quickly and hard to deliver projects unless you know the right people.

    • Red tape, things can sometimes move slowly Lots of meetings, some unnecessary

    • Remuneration compared to the market.

    • The legacy tech that slows down development can sometimes be frustrating/require workarounds.
