Shape the future of customer experiences through Machine Learning, NLP, GenAI and Agentic AI
- Drive innovative AI solutions that transform customer and adviser experiences across SMSF and Wealth Crew.
- Lead end-to-end delivery at scale of GenAI and Agentic AI solutions, alongside machine learning and Natural Language Processing (NLP) models.

At CommBank, we're investing in modern, future-ready data and AI capabilities. This is an opportunity to join our SMSF (Self-Managed Super Funds) Squad within Wealth & Private Banking and help build intelligent, customer-centric solutions that deliver real value for customers, colleagues and communities.
Do work that matters
As a Senior Data Scientist, you'll be a hands-on technical leader building an intelligent assistant that raises the standard of customer service for SMSF customers and advisers in the Mass Affluent segment of Wealth & Private Banking. You'll design, build and productionise the customer-centric models and agentic workflows behind it, partnering with product, technology and business stakeholders to identify where AI can lift service quality, resolve customer needs faster and unlock new insights.
You'll move AI initiatives from experimentation into production, taking ownership from first prototype through to a reliable, monitored service.
See yourself in our team
The SMSF and Wealth Crew is focused on customer service excellence: delivering customer-centric, data-driven solutions that enhance customer outcomes and improve the way customers interact with our Wealth and Private Banking services.

- Influence strategic discussions around data quality, governance, data risk and AI adoption.
We're interested in hearing from people who have:
- Strong experience designing, developing and deploying machine learning solutions in production environments.
- Deep expertise in Natural Language Processing (NLP), Large Language Models (LLMs) and GenAI applications.
- Experience developing Agentic AI solutions, AI assistants, autonomous workflows or coding agents.
- Experience evaluating and hardening LLM or agentic systems: eval frameworks, LLM-as-judge, guardrails, hallucination and safety testing.
- Hands-on programming experience with Python and SQL.
- Experience with MLOps, CI/CD, model deployment, monitoring and observability frameworks.
- Strong understanding of data governance, data quality, data risk and responsible AI principles.
