Job Description
Location: 7 Show Place Christchurch
Hours of work: Your ordinary hours will be between 8:00am – 7:00pm (Monday to Friday) operating on a rotational roster.
At Westpac Direct, our Banking Specialists support customers through meaningful, and often complex moments. That can range from everyday banking through to lending conversations, all while balancing customer outcomes with risk, compliance and responsible lending requirements.
You’ll not only respond to customer needs, but also think ahead — identifying opportunities to support customers with the right Westpac products and solutions that genuinely add value to their situation, while contributing to team and individual performance outcomes.
This is a career role in regulated banking and suits people ready to step into responsibility and complexity, whether that experience comes from study or previous customer‑focused roles. It suits people who are ready to take ownership of conversations, decisions and outcomes; whether that experience comes from banking, financial services, contact centres, or customer roles in other structured environment.
If you enjoy solving problems, communicating clearly under pressure while giving financial advise, and working in a fast‑paced, highly structured setting — and you have a natural ability to connect needs to solutions — this could be a great next step.
As a Banking Specialist, you’ll:
Have high‑quality conversations that uncover both stated and unstated customer needs
Identify opportunities to recommend relevant Westpac products and solutions that support customers’ financial wellbeing
Provide banking and lending solutions across personal, home and unsecured products (within authority)
Support customers across phone, video and digital channels
Work within clear risk, compliance and regulatory frameworks
Deliver on individual and team performance expectations, including quality, customer outcomes, and product conversations
Complete accurate follow‑up to deliver end‑to‑end outcomes
Collaborate closely with your team and draw on specialist support when needed
This role requires judgement, structure and emotional intelligence, especially when customers are stressed, time‑poor or facing financial pressure — as well as the ability to balance customer needs with appropriate and responsible product recommendations.
This role suits you if you bring:
Experience in regulated or high‑volume customer environments
Confidence following process, policy and compliance (even when things get busy)
Experience handling more complex customer conversations (not just transactional service)
Strong problem-solving and logical thinking skills to match customers with the right products or solutions
A proactive, customer‑first mindset — comfortable identifying opportunities to add value beyond the immediate request
The ability to balance customer experience with achieving performance expectations
Clear, calm and professional communication
A strong sense of accountability and follow‑through
Availability to work fixed rosters, including Saturdays
We invest significantly in training, product knowledge and accreditation. This role best suits people looking to build and grow a career, rather than a short‑term stop.
What success looks like in Westpac Direct
Strong performers are known for:
Clear, structured communication
Genuine, customer‑focused conversations (not scripted responses)
Confidence in recommending the right products at the right time — always in the customer’s best interest
Consistently delivering across customer experience, quality, and performance outcomes
Sound judgement and risk awareness
Professional presence and inclusivity
Reliability, resilience and consistency
In this role, how you communicate matters as much as what you do.
Our recruitment process (high level)
We run a structured and time‑bound process to ensure fairness and momentum.
Please apply only if you can commit to the following:
Online assessment and short video interview (if progressed)
A brief phone conversation
Face‑to‑face interview
Reference checks
Late submissions and extensions aren’t available, so readiness matters.
Before you apply
This role is rewarding, demanding and fast‑moving.
Being clear upfront helps everyone succeed = including you.
If this sounds like the right next step and you’re ready to commit, we’d love to hear from you.
