About the job

About Us

At ANZ, we're shaping a world where people and communities thrive, driven by a common goal: to improve the financial wellbeing and sustainability of our millions of customers.

About The Role

As the Country Head, Timor Leste, you will be part of the Pacific Leadership Team. You are expected to role model ANZ’s values and represent ANZ’s interests in Timor Leste at all times.

You will work with both country and matrix teams to represent ANZ and our purpose in this important Pacific community, support and grow our customer base and offering, promote an inclusive team culture, set targets, maintain good governance and compliance, deliver revenue outcomes, identify regional cost saving opportunities and deliver sound capital returns. Where there are matters that could have regional impacts, you will work with the Regional matrix and enablement heads as appropriate.

This end-to-end remit is expected to be reflected in a robust well-managed business and control environment with a strong ANZ culture, effective business execution, engaged staff and customers, purpose led leadership, and high collaboration across all areas in-country and across the region, by:

• Ensuring the country stays aligned to the regional strategy, works within risk appetite and delivers on its commitments.
• Developing a culture that encourages speak up and is aligned to the broader Pacific culture.
• Closely engaging the relevant regional matrix and enablement heads (and their teams) in executing actions aligned to ANZ and Pacific strategies.
• Acting as a custodian of the bank’s reputation and the balance sheet.
  
  

As ANZ’s country representative, you are also the “face” of ANZ in Timor Leste. You are responsible for our relationship and reputation with our customers, local regulators, government officials, NGOs, business associations and local community representatives. You will be a strong conduit and communicator for ANZ information, whether policies, strategic changes or performance updates in-country as well as to ANZ about issues, risks and opportunities within Timor.

Banking is changing and we’re changing with it, giving our people great opportunities to try new things, learn and grow. Whatever your role at ANZ, you’ll be building your future, while helping to build ours.

Role Type: Permanent, full-time

Role Location: ANZ Branch, Dili, Timor Leste

• Proven senior leadership capability, demonstrating humility, strong values and role model behaviours.
• Ability to adapt your style and leadership approach to working in the Pacific and in Timor Leste.
• Strategic leadership and motivation of a highly skilled management team and workforce.
• Strong relationship skills and genuine care for staff and customers.
• Strong credit / risk knowledge, experience and assessment skills.
• Demonstrated ability to drive and deliver aspirational culture and ability to work across matrix and direct reporting line.
