Lead the evolution of CBA’s enterprise data
Do work that matters
At CBA, we’re building the next generation of enterprise data environments that power our most critical customer, banker and regulatory outcomes. Across Retail and Institutional Banking, data underpins everything from digital channels and payments to AI‑driven insights, Financial Crime outcomes, finance reporting, APRA obligations and operational resilience.
We’re transforming how data is produced, governed and consumed at scale, migrating from legacy warehouses to modern, cloud‑native environments, establishing enterprise data products, and embedding strong controls, lineage and observability by design.
See yourself in our team
Consumer Finance is accountable for the core data foundations that support Cards, Accounts, Customer, NetBank, CommSee, CommBiz and emerging AI experiences. Our work spans Group‑wide data quality, accuracy, reliability and stabilisation, ensuring data is trusted and fit for purpose across the bank.
You’ll operate at enterprise scale, partnering closely with product, risk, architecture and delivery leaders to shape how data is produced, managed and consumed across CBA, ensuring downstream platforms and critical business processes can rely on it with confidence.
What you’ll be doing
Reporting to the Technology Lead – Consumer Finance, you’ll provide technical leadership for enterprise‑wide data, owning the end‑to‑end data flow across ingestion, processing, transformation and consumption. You will be accountable for the accuracy, reliability, stability and control of data across multiple environments and domains.
Our Chief Engineers are deeply technical and hands‑on, operating across live, complex environments while influencing senior stakeholders to deliver safe, scalable and production‑ready data foundations.
Lead architectural and technical decision‑making across live enterprise data environments, balancing modernisation with stability, accuracy and risk
Own large‑scale data migrations, including legacy rationalisation, ensuring continuity and operational resilience
