Job Description
At Judo Bank, we're more than just a financial institution – we're pioneers in redefining banking for the modern era. Rooted in timeless values such as integrity, trusted relationships, and a pioneering spirit, we're dedicated to revolutionizing business banking for Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) across Australia. Our journey began with a bold vision and a PowerPoint slide, driven by a desire to challenge the status quo in an industry dominated by the major players. In just a few short years, we've grown exponentially, establishing ourselves as one of the fastest-growing new banks globally, with offices spanning the nation.
At the heart of our ethos lies a commitment to supporting Australian SMEs, placing our people and customers front and centre in everything we do. Our agility and adaptability enable us to say 'yes' when others say 'no', making it easier for our customers to secure the funding they need, precisely when they need it. We take immense pride in our personal approach to banking, fostering diverse relationships and cultivating a collaborative culture within our team. We value diversity in all its forms, actively encouraging individuals from underrepresented backgrounds to join us on our mission.
Our culture
We firmly believe that culture eats strategy for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and the most important investment we can make is in our people. Our core values and leadership principles underpin the foundation of our culture. Not to mention how thrilled we are to have recently been awarded the #1 ranking in LinkedIn’s Top Companies in Australia as well as named in the AFR’s BOSS (Best Places To Work) awards.
Judo Bank is committed to providing equal opportunities for all team members, regardless of gender, race, disability or age. We're committed to closing the gender pay gap and creating a level playing field for all team members. Through a range of inclusion, equity and diversity initiatives we strive to create a workplace where all our team members feel respected, supported and empowered.
