Your division:

Bankwest has a proud 130-year history and we’re on a journey to become Australia’s favourite digital bank.

The Customer, Marketing and Communications team brings together the key functions responsible for deeply understanding our customers and delivering how Bankwest shows up in market. We develop customer-led propositions, generate insights to shape decision-making across the business, and create compelling communications that connect with our audiences — from customers and colleagues to partners, stakeholders, and the wider community.

Your team:

The Brand and Experience team is a multi-disciplinary group spanning strategy and planning, marketing, sponsorships, brand, social, UX, and product design. Together, we build brand impact and deliver best-in-class customer experiences that attract and engage customers.

This role sits within the Strategy & Planning team, reporting to the Senior Manager. The team is responsible for defining Bankwest’s marketing strategy and channel approach. Working closely with Product Marketing Managers, the team uses business, customer, market, and campaign insights to identify opportunities, guide go-to-market direction, and deliver on our ambitious business goals.
