Job description

Customer Service Representative | Contact Centre

Fixed Term until end of April 2027 Rotational Shifts | Auckland CBD

Be the voice that makes banking feel a little easier.

You might be the first person a customer speaks to when they need help, and that makes this role more important than it may look on paper.

One call might be simple. The next might come from someone who is confused, frustrated or genuinely worried. Your job is to listen, understand what they need and help move things forward.

Sometimes you’ll solve it yourself. Sometimes you’ll connect them with the right banker or specialist. Either way, we want our customers to finish the conversation feeling heard, supported and confident about what happens next.

Think of yourself as a conductor with a smile : listening, gaining a deep understand of the query and getting customers to the right place, while creating a great customer experience along the way.

And yes, you’ll speak to a lot of people. The challenge is making call #100 feel just an engaging as call #1.

Mō te Tūranga | About the Role

As a Customer Service Representative in our Contact Centre, you’ll be on the frontline supporting Westpac customers with their everyday banking needs.

You’ll:

• Be one of the first points of contact for our customers
• Handle customer enquiries through inbound and outbound calls
• Listen, ask the right questions and work out what the customer really needs
• Resolve a wide range of enquiries accurately and efficiently wherever you can
• Connect customers with the right banker or specialist when they need additional support
• Spot opportunities where another Westpac product, service or conversation could genuinely help
• Build your knowledge of banking, our products and digital tools
• Deliver friendly, empathetic and solution-focused service, every call, every customer

You won’t need to know everything on day one. We’ll help you build the knowledge and confidence you need.

What we do need from you is the energy, curiosity and be obsessed about helping people.

Nā tōu rourou | What will you bring?

We’re looking for people with fresh energy, great attitudes and a strong customer mindset.

You’ll thrive here if you:

• Genuinely enjoy talking to and helping people and find variety energising

• Digitally savvy and enjoy teaching others
• Like problem solving, know when to solve something yourself and when to bring in the right person

Previous customer service experience is valuable, but banking experience isn’t everything. If you’ve worked in retail, hospitality, travel, telecommunications, contact centres or another people-focused environment, you may already have many of the skills we’re looking for.

More than just answering calls

This may be an entry point into banking, but it’s an important one.
