Product Owner and Insights Lead

About us

On our journey to be Australia’s bank of choice, we continue to set the example of how banking should be: progressive, innovative, sustainable, shared, and most importantly, trusted.

About the team

Our Social Purpose team is inspired from the philosophy of our Community Bank model and our company purpose – to feed into the prosperity of our customers and communities, not off it. The team’s vision is to transform Bendigo and Adelaide Bank’s social purpose activities to be strategic business assets. This is done through strategic partnerships, building evidence of impact and scalable insights to help grow the story and the business, build our community enterprise capability, and centrally coordinate community investments and sponsorship.
