Great minds don't think alike

Diversity of thinking is one of the keys to success, so we encourage students from all degree disciplines to apply for our programme. Your university grades aren’t the be-all and end-all. We’re equally interested in your creative thinking and comfort in adapting to new people and situations.

Hear from some of our people

Anusha – Data Graduate – Data Business Partner, Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland

“ANZ’s graduate programme is a great introduction into joining a large company – the amount of support that the team has provided motivates me and makes me feel confident in my ability to make an impact. The data space is growing rapidly, in my time with the data analytics team I have seen the team almost double in size, grow from one team to four, with multiple leadership positions created, and ever-growing demand for the team’s skills. I love that I have joined a company that is preparing for the future.”

David – Personal Graduate – Enterprise Portfolio Management Analyst, Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland

“ANZ fosters the idea of development and future proofing your career. As part of the grad programme, I was able to work on developing new ideas to bringing the bank forward in products, reflecting on risks to the business and customers in business controls and governance, and working to improve the everyday lives of our customers in customer experience and performance. The experience helped me understand the enormity and complexity of the bank, setting me up for my current role overseeing all the major projects in New Zealand. The opportunities here are large and real. The world is your oyster. Get help finding your pearl.”

Haydon – Graduate – Institutional Operations, Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland

“One of the things I appreciate the most at ANZ is the people-first culture. There’s always a strong sense of teamwork and collaboration and everyone is happy to support you in achieving your goals and help you grow within the bank. It really makes you feel like you’re part of one big ANZ family.”
