Detail information about job Head of Consumer Banking. Terms and conditions vacancy

  • Immediate start as a consultant, then permanent role
  • Key role in start-up phase of new Australian based bank
  • Build and own the Consumer Banking product stream

Our client is in the process of setting up a first of its kind banking platform in Australia, which is founded on the core principals of ethical banking. Having already attracted some well-recognised and highly successful leaders from the Australian Financial Services industry, my client intends to bring diversity to the Australian banking landscape, offering an alternative to what is currently on offer by the Big 4 and other banks. With initial seed funding, feasibility studies and IM complete, they are now ready to hand-pick the talent they need to make this ambitious and exciting project come to life.

This role is not for the traditional banker, but rather a respected banking specialist who is willing to step into largely uncharted territory. You will be asked to bring your deep and thorough working knowledge of the Australian mortgage and consumer banking market to innovate and do things differently. Where complexity stops others in their tracks, you will thrive and your entrepreneurial approach will set you up well to excel in this start-up environment where change and ambiguity are the norm.  You will value relationships and be energised by creatively working through challenges with sustained effort.

Reporting to the CEO, you will be initially joining the core team as Consumer Banking consultant, contributing your expertise to all aspects of the design and preparation phase including participation in key roadshow presentations. Ideally with a current Responsible Manager status under your belt, you will add particular value to all licensing, regulatory and operational activities. This is a small team and you will need to roll up your sleeves and get into a lot of process and product detail. Upon investment confirmation, you will be appointed to lead the end to end set up of the “go live” mortgage product range.

We are looking for a person that is committed, driven by creating success and being a part of something new, maintaining high energy levels and motivation as a key member of the start-up team. You will bring a full range of technical skills and knowledge to the table, from high level workings of the Australian mortgage and lending market to a deep knowledge of retail and corporate banking products, including all facets of credit, risk and compliance. Disciplined in process development, accurate reporting and budgeting is just second nature, as is your ability to communicate with all key stakeholders whether in written or verbal form.

As an individual it is expected you will have experience working with people from a variety of cultural backgrounds and ways of thinking, understanding the value that diversity brings in a multi-cultural environment. Critical to your success will be your ability to remain agile as priorities change and the project develops, always with a laser like focus on quality and timelines. A relevant degree in a financial discipline is of course a must.

Once the project shifts into full build mode, you will need to set about creating a values-based culture that promotes fairness, diversity and is tailored to the needs of this bank’s customers. You will be a leader respected for setting clear expectations, building inclusive teams and focused on doing things well. Ideally you will have built or lead teams through significant change, inspiring your team members with your driven and ethical approach. This will require you to have a hands-on approach, where your natural style is to be practically involved in all aspects of the operational and customer experience.

In summary, you will be a seasoned consumer banking manager or executive, perhaps currently doing some consulting work or taking some time out, craving an opportunity to contribute your expertise in a more entrepreneurial or meaningful way. You will be self-confident, articulate, and be able to make a strong contribution throughout the different phases of this exciting project. It is highly desirable that you are available immediately.
