About Us

At ANZ, we're shaping a world where people and communities thrive, driven by a common goal: to improve the financial wellbeing and sustainability of our millions of customers.

About the Role

We’re seeking an experienced Executive Assistant to support the General Manager, Strategy & Execution and their team within Australia Retail. This is a unique EA opportunity with a broader remit.

Banking is changing and we’re changing with it, giving our people great opportunities to try new things, learn and grow. Whatever your role at ANZ, you’ll be building your future, while helping to build ours.
