We generally recruit at the Manager or Associate Director level, though the seniority of the positions available depends on business need. These positions would typically mandate 5-20 years’ experience. The salaries on offer depend on the specific role and your level of experience.
The program will start in March 2025. We begin the program with a two day orientation to help you settle into your role and the organisation.
At CommBank, we work flexibly. For some, this may mean four days per week, or finishing at 4pm each day to pick up your kids. Talk to us and let us know how this opportunity can flex to suit your lifestyle.
You'll be eligible for a permanent position post the 12-week Career Comeback Program. This offer is not guaranteed, and will be based on performance.
Currently the Career Comeback Program is only run out of Sydney.
