What our graduates have to say

I studied a Bachelor of Business (majoring in Finance and Accounting) at the University of Technology, Sydney. In my spare time, you can find me enjoying live music or at a restaurant with friends.

I applied for a graduate role at Westpac Group because it’s an industry leader in the banking sector and is renowned for its flat structure. By rotating through several teams in such a diverse organisation, the exposure to people, information, and ideas, is unparalleled.
 

The opportunity and exposure you get as a graduate is hard to match. The fact you’re working in different teams gives you the best chance to find a role you enjoy.
 

Since rolling off the program…

 

Rolling-off into Group Treasury was an easy decision for me. It gave me the opportunity to pursue my interest in funding and capital markets, and to broaden my skillset by working on a wide array of transactions together with multiple stakeholder groups.

 

There isn’t really an ordinary day-to-day in my current role but that’s what makes it so interesting. My team is responsible for the planning, structuring and execution of the Group’s capital management strategy, as it relates to equity, convertible equity and subordinated debt securities.
