2022 ANZ Institutional Graduate Program (Feb 2022)

TAKE A LEAP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

One of the best ways to learn is to throw you into new experiences. Each of our key business areas in Australia and New Zealand has programs that offer multiple rotations. During the program, you will be given the opportunity to gain 18 months of valuable 'real life' work experiences as well as exposure to a diverse range of people, environments and situations before having the opportunity to move into a permanent role within the bank. You will learn through exposure to senior leaders, who will support you through coaching, peer-to-peer learning, mentoring, training, networking and sponsorship within the business.

WANT TO KNOW MORE?

The Institutional Division at ANZ provides world-class solutions for our large, Institutional and Corporate clients across Australia, New Zealand, Europe and America and the wider Asia-Pacific Region. Our expertise covers Transaction Banking, Markets, Wholesale Digital and Corporate Finance. As an Institutional Graduate, have the chance to gain exposure to teams that represent both core and specialised offerings for the Bank's biggest customers including airlines, property developers and multinationals. You will also have the opportunity to learn from highly experienced professionals from a cross-section of the community and provide your own perspective and insight into the ever-evolving world of banking and finance.

WHAT'S INVOLVED?

As an Institutional Grad, you are in for a phenomenal 18-month program; consisting of three rotations across different areas of the Institutional bank, where you may explore the division based on your own interests, skills and developmental goals. You'll learn the ropes, the lingo (including a plethora of acronyms) and of course, the best lunch spots in and around the office where you can take a well-deserved break.

Following your induction into the Graduate program, you will be supported in developing core capabilities, which may include a combination of:

Coverage - Research & Analysis, Client Insights, Relationship Management, Data & Digital and our Product areas. While these areas contain a mixture of customer-facing and internal roles, the focus on our core mission is clear - to help shape a world where people and communities thrive. Key focus areas include:

• Building strong, collaborative relationships with both internal and external stakeholders to transform great ideas and insights into reality;
• Balancing customer requirements and the bank's risk appetite from lending and capital management perspective;
• Delivering a consistent and efficient credit process to help customers achieve their objectives;
• Developing proficient core banking skills and setting the foundation for a successful banking career;
• Rewarding innovation and agility in an environment of continuous improvement; and
• Empowering you to act with freedom and confidence in balancing credit risk appetite, capital constraints and return objectives.

WHERE WILL YOU BE LOCATED?

We currently have positions available in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide.

HERE ARE SOME AREAS YOU MIGHT WORK IN:

Coverage Research & Analysis

Do you enjoy deep-diving into specific industries and developing a detailed understanding of customer business operations? Ever wonder how wind farms drive investment?

Or how do large-scale property developers aim to meet sustainable housing initiatives while managing a dozen sites at the one time? What about how a global subsidiary manages its relationship with its offshore parent company?

During your Coverage rotation, you will be placed in an industry-specific team who are the primary connection point between ANZ and our customers. Your curiosity will be fuelled by an in-depth analysis of our customers and their industries as well as forming an understanding of ANZ's core Institutional service offering.

Product Transaction Banking

Transaction Banking (TB) is one of the most dynamic areas of the bank, encompassing Payments & Cash Management, Merchants & Cards and Trade & Supply Chain. In essence, TB is the nexus between our customers and the wider economic ecosystem, determining how our customers engage with their customers, suppliers and staff on a daily basis. In leveraging our Transaction Banking Specialists' expertise, new technologies and global footprint, we may help our customers achieve working capital optimisation, technological synergy, business process augmentation and an enhanced user experience.

TB is at the forefront of Institutional Banking's Digital & Data strategy. As our Institutional clients become less reliant on desktop banking services given the move towards becoming fully automated, working in TB could provide you with a range of experiences, whether they be working with our sales team to design solutions that streamline our customer's treasury and payments needs, or working in one of our innovation and product teams to build out ANZ's digital and data value proposition based on the changing trends and technology advancements impacting the market.

Wholesale Digital

Wholesale Digital has been described as a fin-tech within a bank. They are commissioned with designing and delivering smarter, digital-first solutions for Institutional clients across Trade, Cash Management and Markets. Our user-led design means that we develop technologies that are rich in functionality, secure and simple to use. Customers and bankers may also have access to our Data and Analytics team, whose insights are designed to look beyond the balance sheet and discover new opportunities, inform business strategy and uncover areas for efficiency. If you are curious to explore how the Bank is embracing and even pioneering a new technological frontier, Wholesale Digital can't be missed.

Markets

As our customers operate at a global scale, financial markets form a vital component of our customer's business and their objectives. Our ability to provide risk management tools and strategic research enable our clients to focus on their own business, without having to worry about the uncertainty and unpredictability of financial markets.

ANZ's award-winning Markets team delivers innovative product solutions across foreign exchange, interest rates, credit and commodities as well as risk management expertise and data-driven insights. Our reach spans the key global financial hubs such as London, New York, Hong Kong and Tokyo and encompasses a range of roles including sales, trading, structuring and origination.

Corporate Finance

Corporate Finance (CF) provides Institutional and Corporate clients with unique and innovative lending solutions across the Asia Pacific region.

The CF business often deals with large multinationals, Government bodies and other banks, enabling Graduates to gain exposure to large scale transactions. As the name suggests, the business supports our customers by providing specialised lending as well as financial solutions, helping customers increase working capital and access appropriate funding. CF is recognised as a centre of excellence for its skills in specialist credit analysis, advisory services, structuring, execution and ongoing monitoring of customer lending transactions. During a CF rotation, you will develop many technical skills such as modelling, credit writing and financial analysis. Additionally, Graduates will be involved in discussions with the Coverage and other Product teams to help determine optimal customer outcomes.

ARE YOU IN?

We want to get to know you for who you really are and don't believe that we can assess that by reducing your experiences to a page. This means that there's no need to send us a copy of your resume, or even your cover letter! Instead, we invite you to take part in a series of games that assess a range of cognitive abilities. That's it! If you move to the next stage, we will invite you to do a Personality Questionnaire. There are no right or wrong answers, we just want to learn more about how you prefer to work. From here, you will be invited to do a digital interview (meaning you can interview from the comfort of your home), where you record your answers to prompts in a series of short videos.

Finally, we would love to meet you in person in our office where we have an assessment centre that includes an interview and role play. This could be the perfect opportunity for you to take your career to the next level. Apply today and give it a go.
