DO WORK THAT MATTERS
At Bankwest customers are our priority. That belief ripples through every team at Bankwest, ensuring we care just as much about each other as the work we do. We couldn’t do this without our high performing technology team, who every day is helping to make our customers’ lives easier.
Customer preferences are shifting to digital channels and Bankwest's Technology team plays a critical role in delivering the brilliant solutions and experiences that make our customers’ lives easier.
Our Technology team is responsible for simplifying and modernising Bankwest’s technology environment, while also unlocking new value for our customers. We do this by designing and delivering market leading technology solutions, and as part of the CBA Group we have access to world leading technology - from innovative product platforms for our customers, to essential tools within our business.
Right now, we’re building the foundations and increasing our adoption of cloud, automation, analytics, data science, virtualisation, and API-enabled systems – this is your chance to be part of WA’s largest employers of tech-educated professionals and help shape the future of Bankwest Technology.
WE’RE LOOKING FOR YOU
We are seeking driven and motivated individuals. This role operates in a creative, challenging and revolutionary environment where we’re dealing with sweeping technological change.
We’re looking for adaptive problem-solvers who want to be part of something big, and who can help to further strengthen the culture of one of WA’s most established, but eager-for-change, financial institutions.

Throughout this program you will be provided professional development opportunities including interactive masterclasses, training courses and graduate conference events to help you transition from full-time study to full-time life!
As a graduate, you’re not a number or ‘just’ a coder, we’ll give you incredibly broad and exciting opportunities to deepen and grow your capabilities by working on real stuff and delivering real value for the business from day one – delivering solutions, reinvigorating existing technologies and creating new ones. Our structured program includes rotations across a wide range of cross-functional delivery teams to develop your skills and set you up for career success.
At Bankwest we know a balanced career makes for the best kind of work. We encourage unparalleled flexible working arrangements, so you can enjoy and accommodate modern life. Bankwest is made by us and we couldn’t shape the future of our technology without you.

Reviews
Client meetings, speaking with the frontline team regarding client files, administrative work
It will vary depending upon what department/business unit you are in. However in my circumstance I am an Graduate/Analyst; my daily task involve morning emails, attending to applications and strategy papers, lots of meetings, some longer one rife with information or short ones to provide updates. Then after a lunch with the team it is back into credit writing. Then finishing off the day with emails. There is always time for a coffee run with the team and some good quality banter.
My role involves balancing business and customer needs in innovative and strategic ways. Day to day, I work on projects that involve uplifting certain aspects of the CBA App. I also work towards my graduate development goals to ensure I make the most out of this experience.

Pros and cons of working at Commonwealth Bank
Pros
Work-life balance and culture.
The vast amount of opportunities in the field of technology can help you upskill and keep motivated.
The people at CBA are extremely welcoming and talented.
Flexible working style and arrangements.
Clear investment in the technology area. This supports graduates in this area significantly.
Cons
As the company has the head office in Sydney, most of the teams are located there. If you are based in other cities, you may not have anyone in your team around you.
There is a level of competitiveness I find specifically in the Grad program cohort.
Limited career progression.
The over-importance of networking. You may not get as far as being 100% your authentic self.
With CBA being such a large organization, it can sometimes be difficult to navigate the ecosystem and find the right person who can help.
