This role offers real breadth and impact. You’ll lead robust review and challenge activities, deliver insightful reporting and opinions, and provide pragmatic advisory support that helps lift capability and embed best‑practice risk management across Technology.

Banking is changing, and we’re changing with it. At ANZ, you’ll be encouraged to think differently, grow your expertise, and shape the future—while helping us build a safer, stronger bank for our customers.

Role Type: Permanent, full‑time
Role Location: Tāmaki Makaurau or Te Whanganui‑a‑Tara (Auckland or Wellington)
