About You

You are a hands-on, detail-oriented professional with excellent time management skills and a strong desire to learn. Your ability to work across diverse leadership styles and adapt to different working patterns will be key to your success.

You’ll also collaborate regularly with the broader EA community and leadership teams, using your interpersonal skills and integrity to deliver outstanding outcomes for the Bank.
