Our mission - Creating the ANZ of the future

We are redesigning and rebuilding our Australian business, propositions and experiences with a handpicked selection of best-in-class partners and technologies. To achieve this, we’re assembling an inspired and talented team who are excited about challenging convention and creating truly engaging offerings for our customers.

We have organised ourselves into multiple parallel value streams, each with their own team, objectives and timelines. To create a single coherent ANZ banking experience will require expert curation and guidance of all the streams by a small leadership team of senior experts in key disciplines. The team will coordinate and drive the collective work towards an elegant world-class offering with a thoughtful balance of desirability, viability and feasibility.

The leadership team will include a Head of Design.

The Head of Design Role:


As a key stakeholder in product and business strategy and detailed development, you will act as a curator, coach and guide to ensure we are working towards a coherent and compelling overall ANZ experience.

By playing the role of “creative director” you will tackle tradeoffs to find creative outcomes, ensuring all elements that contribute to an overall experience (including proposition, process, product, service, pricing, controls, data, security and automation) fit together to deliver delightful and differentiated, saleable and compliant solutions for customers and employees.

To ensure our teams can commence building solutions with confidence, high-level customer and business solutions will need to be designed and tested. This role will also collaborate closely with Group Marketing and Brand leadership to ensure we create experiences that are consistent with the ANZ brand strategy.

We care about Design:


At ANZ, we have a holistic view of design. We see design as a set of disciplines and a common approach to identifying people’s needs and crafting elegant solutions to satisfy them. Effective design is not just about aesthetics or experience. It needs to consider how all aspects of our business come together to deliver our products and services.

We were the first bank in the world to introduce a Chief Design Officer and we have widely embraced Human Centred Design to help tackle internal and external opportunities. We also have one of the largest communities of designers in Australia, across a range of disciplines from UX, UI, Service Design, Design Research and Content Design.
