As one company with two trusted brands, we’re building on the strong foundations of our history and shared values as we bring together the best of both banks.

As a Customer Complaints Consultant within the Resolution team, you’ll support the bank’s customer complaints process as part of the second line risk function. Working closely with the Customer Advocate and first line teams, you’ll help ensure customers experience a fair, simple, and timely resolution process. You’ll also contribute to identifying opportunities to improve products, processes, and systems—ensuring the bank continues to listen and respond to customer needs.

• We support our staff to grow their careers through learning and development and an organisational culture where we reward and recognise innovation and values, not long hours.
• We are committed to building an inclusive culture and a diverse workforce that reflects the Australian community.
• We care for a conservation reserve – where we work with key partner organisations to protect threatened species and involve staff in conservation.

What you will be doing

• Assisting in building a culture that embraces complaints as an opportunity to continually improve services and products
• Ongoing maintenance of the complaints management system to support the effective management of all complaints received
• Identifying and reporting any systemic issues impacting customers and/or risk matters and completing process and root cause analysis as required
• Ongoing maintenance of key complaint documentation, including procedures, processes, letter templates, quality assurance framework, and training material to ensure currency and accuracy
• Supporting education and training programs in relation to the effective handling of complaints to inform and educate the business

What you will bring

• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• Advanced Microsoft Word and Excel skills
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, both written and verbal
• Empathy, active listening, and sound judgment
• Proactive, pragmatic, and able to implement actions in a timely manner
• Strong prioritisation, organisational, and time management skills
