This one door can open hundreds.

Activate your career

We are interested in people who are willing to transform ideas into reality. In an era where digital is reshaping customer service, it’s important we continually re-invent the way we work and take this bank to a new level.

You can join ANZ via our Graduate programme or apply for a role that suits your experience. ANZ will provide you with the foundation you need to grow and succeed. No matter where your career takes you, be part of a collaborative culture where your voice is heard, and you can make an impact.

Kickstart your career

If you’re ready to learn, we’re ready to help you develop a successful career at ANZ. You'll get 12-18 months of valuable experience across our businesses including exposure to a diverse range of people, environments and situations. We also provide supportive coaching, peer-to-peer learning, mentoring, training, networking and sponsorship from senior leaders.

Each programme has a different learning opportunity and endless career paths.

1. Online application

No CV or cover letter needed – our online form is really short, we promise.

2. Digital interview and game-based assessment

Showcase yourself and your skills with our digital video interview platform and finish with some gamified assessments.

3. Personality questionnaire

A whole heap of questions about how you like to work.

4. Face to face interview

Virtual or in-person to meet some of our leaders so we can learn more about you, and you can get to know us.

How to apply

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.

You don’t need banking experience to work with us – we want people from all different backgrounds to think big and make an impact in real time.

You don’t have to know everything and have all the answers, we’re all one big team looking at how we can solve some pretty tricky problems.

Big opportunities to grow

Gain exposure to a range of projects to upskill your technical and soft skills to future proof your career.

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.”
