Following your induction into the Graduate program, you will be supported in developing core capabilities, which may include a combination of: Research & Analysis, Client Insights, Relationship Management, Data & Digital and our Product areas.

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 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.

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 simply reading your resume or LinkedIn profile. 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 which assess a range of cognitive abilities. That's it.

If you move to the next stage, we'll 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'll be invited to complete a digital interview (meaning you can interview from the comfort of home), where you record your answers to prompts in a series of short videos.

Finally, we'd 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.
