What’s the role?

This is one of the most senior individual contributor roles in technology, sitting within Digital. You’ll shape Westpac’s technology direction, solve our most complex digital engineering challenges and turn bold ideas into secure, scalable and accessible customer experiences.

• The ability to influence major decisions and build alignment across senior leaders and technical communities without relying on formal authority
