Job Description

Now, about this opportunity…

In this role, you’ll drive sustainable SME growth through a deeply relationship‑focused approach to business banking. You’ll own a portfolio end‑to‑end, balancing growth and retention and contributing to outcomes that genuinely support Australian SMEs.

• Independently understand and address the financial needs of SME customers with pragmatic, tailored banking solutions
• Deliver high‑quality credit submissions and transactions that balance commercial outcomes with sound risk management

• Build trusted, long‑term relationships with customers, brokers and partners
• Champion teamwork and collaborative problem‑solving across bankers, credit and support teams
• Design and embed best‑practice relationship models that consistently deliver exceptional SME customer outcomes

Qualifications

You’ll likely bring:

• 8+ years’ experience in business or commercial banking, credit or a related field
• A genuine passion for supporting Australian SME businesses and backing them through all stages of growth
• Strong credit writing and financial analysis capability
• A proactive self‑starter mindset, with the ability to build networks, take ownership and back your judgement
• A collaborative approach and natural curiosity that supports strong team outcomes

If you don’t meet every requirement, we still encourage you to apply – your experience, mindset and potential matter to us.
