About the business

You will play a critical role in supporting the execution of Generation Life's vision:

'To be known as Australia's most forward-thinking financial solutions company'.

Generation Life is a new breed of financial service provider, not just an adaptation of the old. With our eyes firmly on the new realities of today and tomorrow's exciting new world, our solutions are designed with the opportunities (and the challenges) our customers and their families will need to navigate firmly in mind

We design tax effective and goal specific financial solutions – so our customers know that the money they set aside today can be used to manage big future events such as a child's wedding, a grandchild's nest egg or to finance a retirement that keeps them independent and doing the things they love. Whatever the goal or life stage, Generation Life has a solution to help

You will be emblematic of our brand values:

Optimism - Other brands prey on fear, but we see a future full of opportunity for those who are prepared for it

Clarity - We're clear sighted about what's important, abhor jargon and seek to provide simplicity for our customers

Forward thinking – We support our customers to be dynamic and informed about how the future will be in order to plan for it

Proactivity – What matters to us isn't wealth or status; we applaud anyone who seeks to take control of their future
