The Opportunity
Let’s introduce ourselves
We’re a venture-scaler powered by CommBank. That means we build, buy, and invest in startups that could benefit the bank’s 15 million customers and beyond.
Because of what we do, we’re really neither corporate, nor startup – instead we’re happily navigating the space between both worlds. We're close enough to benefit from the bank’s strategy, scale and stability, but separate enough that we have the autonomy to try new things.
To be a sandbox for change.
What it’s like to work here
We’re a community of galvanisers, thinkers and doers. People from different backgrounds who come together in a brilliant collision of careers, ideas and expertise. We know what we’re trying to achieve isn’t easy, but we're up for the challenge.
We're part of something bigger. We never lose sight of the impact we can have on people’s lives, and the role that each of us plays in shaping the bank of the future.
At x15 we’re guided by three values: care, courage and commitment.
This means we're led by both head and heart. We’re aware, attuned, and always act to help others. We’re more than just job titles and we don’t hide the human stuff, either.
We lead with grit and grace. We have a big bold vision, which so far no-one has nailed (including us). That excites, rather than deters us.
And whatever happens, we always find a way. We're tenacious, resilient and we do what's right – even if it's hard.
Where would you fit?
This is a critical role within the x15 Portfolio team responsible for finding and investing in opportunities, then backing our Ventures to scale with CommBank strategic partnership leverage. You will be reporting to the Head of Product and Design, responsible for driving and initiatives that accelerate the critical growth milestones of x15 and our ventures. This includes working closely with CommBank, x15 and our ventures to create best in class user experiences for new ventures and internal projects
