Do you have lending experience and leadership aspirations?

About the team and role

Known internally as a Customer Relationship Officer, the role provides a high standard of professional service that explores the customer’s needs and circumstances and provides consumer lending and other financial solutions relevant to their lifestyle.  You will demonstrate a high level of ownership which is based on building strong relationships with new and existing customers and the wider community.  You will actively engage our customers to explore the best products and services to suit their needs.

The successful candidate will closely support the Branch Manager in developing and coaching team members to understand our products and services and to provide quality referrals.  We are seeking candidates with a positive attitude and communication style, who take initiative and share best practices with the team. 

This position is a great career opportunity and will ideally suit someone aspiring to be a leader and looking to further develop their skills in the consumer lending space.

We have a full-time permanent opportunity available at our Balwyn Branch.

We are looking for someone keen to learn and progress in their career. A successful Customer Relationship Officer will bring:

• Demonstrated ability to achieve sales results through solutions which truly meet the customer’s needs
• Ability to effectively communicate with new and existing customers face to face and over the phone
• Capability to coach and up skill team members
• Highly developed relationship building skills
• Ability to quickly learn new systems and processes
• A willingness to get involved in local community engagement activities and to share with others what makes our bank different
• Lending and insurance accreditation – advantageous but not essential
• Experience in consumer lending and the banking and finance industry - a plus but certainly not essential for someone with great sales experience in a retail environment
