Designed by you: Career pathways at CommBank

With a workforce of almost 50,000 people, here at CommBank our reputation, mindset and collaborative culture gives us the strength to explore and deliver things that may seem out of reach. We continue to raise the bar so we can achieve more – the job opportunities are endless!

We asked around the halls what a typical career path might look like, and it turns out there's no such thing here. You own your path completely, and this could be based on a range of things, including:

Your skills & background

While it’s true some of our roles require a very specific skill set, we believe in giving people a go and supporting those with the commitment to drive their 

Your courage to try something new

With a huge scope of opportunities across the business, we've invested a lot into our internal mobility program, which captures our employees’ job histories, current competencies and desired next move. Making a permanent move or taking on a shorter-term contract or secondment gives you the opportunity to grow, experience the company and learn new skills.

Your commitment to learn professionally & personally

At CommBank we actively encourage giving and receiving constructive challenge. While receiving feedback may sometimes feel uncomfortable or awkward, it’s a great way to build your self-awareness and identify any blind spots. We offer mentorship programs to focus on both professional and personal growth, on-the-job learning or, if you prefer a more structured approach, we have a library of almost 2000 courses to choose from.

“When I was introduced to the Mentoring Program I thought it was a perfect opportunity to broaden my network and take my development further. There was a list of leaders who’d put their hands up to be official mentors. It was great to see the willingness of these people to give up their time to develop others. I told my mentor I was trying to get promoted – she gave me tips on how to increase my personal brand, be prepared for interviews and lots of other valuable advice. If you’ve got a short-term specific goal, the mentoring program is extremely useful”.
