To be considered for the Career Comeback Program, candidates must meet the below criteria:
* Taking part in consulting/freelance work or having generated some income from non-professional activities does not disqualify applicants.
No. We have a wide range of opportunities available that welcome a variety of backgrounds. For example, in our non-client facing teams, candidates with backgrounds in operations, risk, consulting, project management or business law are encouraged to apply.
You'll receive an update on your application. If you have the experience and passion we’re looking for, we’ll invite you in for an interview.
We generally recruit at the Manager or Associate Director level, though the seniority of the positions available depends on business need. These positions would typically mandate 5-20 years’ experience. The salaries on offer depend on the specific role and your level of experience.
The program will start in March 2025. We begin the program with a two day orientation to help you settle into your role and the organisation.
At CommBank, we work flexibly. For some, this may mean four days per week, or finishing at 4pm each day to pick up your kids. Talk to us and let us know how this opportunity can flex to suit your lifestyle.
You'll be eligible for a permanent position post the 12-week Career Comeback Program. This offer is not guaranteed, and will be based on performance.
Currently the Career Comeback Program is only run out of Sydney.
