Executive Manager – Regional & Agribusiness Banking
Together, we're leading growth across Southwest WA.
Your New Opportunity
As Executive Manager for Southwest WA, you'll have the opportunity to shape the future of business banking across one of Western Australia's most diverse and strategically important regional markets.
We're casting the net wide for the right leader. Whether you're based in Bunbury, ready to relocate, or happy to commute from Perth or beyond, we'd love to hear from you. What matters most is finding a suitably qualified leader with the expertise, drive, and commitment to invest in the South West's growth story – wherever your journey begins.
This is a hands-on role that will see you travelling regularly across the region, staying close to our customers, our people, and the opportunities ahead. You'll be a visible, engaged leader who knows their stuff and is genuinely energised by getting out into the market.
Region
The Southwest represents a highly diverse and economically significant segment, spanning the major regional centre of Bunbury through to established agribusiness communities, coastal towns, and rural hubs across the region.
From the industry and connectivity of Bunbury to the renowned agriculture, viticulture, and tourism of the broader Southwest, this is a region that offers both professional opportunity and an exceptional quality of life.
Underpinned by a strong mix of agribusiness, commercial and small business activity, the region is supported by established industries, ongoing infrastructure investment, and population growth.
