We’ve never been ‘just a bank’. Just like you should never be ‘just an employee’. We’re united in our belief that in banking, better can be bigger, and together we’re making it happen.

It starts here. With Bendigo Bank… and you.

At Bendigo Bank, we're all about helping people and communities thrive. We're a big bank, but we've never lost our focus on the people we serve. We’re driven by our purpose of feeding into the prosperity of our customers and communities, not off them. 

Our people are at the heart of our Bank, and we care about them deeply. The People and Culture division delivers meaningful work in support of our group strategy, with a focus on enriching the employee experience and helping our people to thrive at the Bank. This is your chance to make a significant impact as we continue our journey of transformation towards our 2030 strategy. At Bendigo Bank, we're focused on becoming a bigger, better, and stronger bank for our customers and communities, and our People and Culture team is at the heart of this evolution.

This pivotal role sits within our People Strategy & Capability team, a key function within the broader People and Culture division. You'll be joining a team dedicated to shaping the future of our organisation by enabling our leaders and people to thrive through change.

Reporting to the Head of People Partnering, you will lead a highly capable team of Organisational Design Specialists. This is a super exciting time to join us! We are navigating complex changes, redesigning our operating models on a large scale, investing in new technology, and transforming our ways of working. As a strategic people leader, you will have genuine engagement at the Executive level, providing advice, support, and orchestrating large-scale change while ensuring robust governance of our organisation design processes.

As Senior Manager Organisational Design (with the humble internal title of Lead OD Specialist), you will be focused on:

• Leading and developing a team of Organisational Design and Change Management professionals to deliver high-quality, impactful solutions.
• Partnering with senior leaders and HR Business Partners to diagnose, scope, and deliver complex organisational design initiatives.
• Developing and implementing a consistent, enterprise-wide organisational design methodology and toolkit.
• Providing strategic advice and coaching to Executive and Senior Leadership teams on organisational design best practices.
• Governing the organisational design process to ensure alignment with our strategic objectives and design principles.

To be successful in this role, you’ll be a seasoned Organisational Design leader with a proven track record of leading teams and navigating complex transformations within large-scale organisations. Your deep subject matter expertise will be complemented by your ability to engage, influence, and coach at the most senior levels of an organisation. You are a strategic thinker, adept at translating business strategy into tangible operating model and design solutions. Furthermore, you are a natural leader, passionate about fostering a collaborative, high-performing culture. Your resilience, coupled with your exceptional communication skills, will be key to your success in this dynamic and rewarding role.

You'll be leading a team of direct reports who are passionate and seasoned SMEs in the Org Design space. You will also be joining a knowledgeable and engaged team of senior P&C business partners who work closely alongside the OD team to deliver cohesive and smart people solutions and strategies, preparing Bendigo Bank for the future.

This is a permanent full-time opportunity that can be based in Melbourne, Adelaide, or Bendigo. We offer flexible work options that put our people first, working in a hybrid model with a minimum local Head Office attendance requirement determined by your Leader, to find a rhythm that works best for you and your team. We believe that coming into the office some of the time is the best way to learn, stay connected and collaborate effectively, especially for key activities like team days, 1:1s, and town halls.

If you are ready to take on a strategic leadership role and help shape the future of a truly purpose-driven organisation, we would love to hear from you.
