Meaningful work

    We are on a journey of transformation, so for now, change is constant. While to some this might seem daunting, there’s a real potential for big thinkers to help us redefine what financial services could be. And turn our legacy into something even more positive and powerful for the future.

    We are creating a simpler, digitally enabled financial services business, that is responsive to the changing needs of communities. As a result, we’re now a nimbler business with new leadership and thinking. Here you’ll be closer to the action and executive decisions that influence where we go next.

    With change, comes new challenges to amplify your potential. New exposure to projects, stakeholders, products and initiatives, right across the business. And new opportunities to challenge thinking as we work together to strengthen this iconic Aussie brand.

    Doing what we’ve always done is not an option, so your clever ideas will get airtime here. You’ll be encouraged to speak up and try new things. If they don’t work, we move on – better for it.

    It’s a chance to do meaningful work and prioritise your personal and professional development. You’ll have ongoing opportunities to build your networks and experience, and create a broad, interesting career with impact.

    Opportunities await you

    Here are just some challenges that are stretching our people, amplifying their potential and compounding the impact they have.

    • Working together to build AI governance

      Amali Seneviratne - Senior Legal Counsel, Digital

      “It’s impossible to ignore the evolution of AI. It’s everywhere you look and something that I’m quite excited by. This led me to ask my stakeholders whether they are using AI for work, such as ChatGPT. This simple question took me on an interesting journey of advising on AI governance and the responsible use of AI in marketing, brand, and advertising. Through this work I connected with AMP’s Technology team and joined their AI Working Group, looking into AMP’s AI governance frameworks and AI innovation. It’s been a great opportunity to get to know the Technology team, share perspectives from across the Group and to add value as a lawyer in progressive forward-looking work.”

    • Modernising our technology

      Scott Barnett - Head of Technology - Bank

      “In support of AMP Bank’s digital growth strategy, the Bank IT team continue to invest in modernising our core Banking platform. Over the last few years, we have modernised the code-based, migrated to public cloud infrastructure, further automated our testing and deployment processes and delivered new business functionality, including a fully digital mortgage offering (approved in minutes not weeks) and real-time payments. We are continuing to leverage our strong AWS partnership to deliver cloud-first architectures and solutions for all new development, ensuring scalable, resilient and cost-effective solutions.”

    • Leading projects and building skills

      Evan Hughes - Channel Owner, Direct & Digital, AMP Bank

      “Getting the opportunity to work on and lead various projects and initiatives has made my time at AMP extremely valuable, the most recent of which was the release of our new Digital Mortgage channel. I was initially put onto the project as a Credit Risk Specialist; despite being new to the field, I was given the time and resources to learn quickly and positively impact the delivery of the project. I was then fortunate enough to be hired as the ongoing owner of the digital channel, which has helped me work on skills and knowledge across the entire mortgage value chain, as well as develop my leadership skills as I manage the Digital & Direct Lending team.”

      

    Committed leaders

    We have a renewed leadership team - they’re some of the best in the industry and genuinely care about the team and the transformation of our great organisation.

    Creating an inclusive and connected environment is a sentiment that’s echoed across the organisation and role modelled by our committed leaders. Our leaders want everyone to feel valued and included, so they make time to hear what you have to say. And find ways to stay connected - through weekly huddles, 1-to-1s, monthly company-wide AMP live sessions, small group chats with our CEO - Blair, meetings and socials – while working with you to drive change.

    Inclusive people

    Change isn’t easy, but it’s made easier when you’re in it with people who are as passionate and committed as you. We lift each other up. We care about each other. We show empathy and respect.

    In fact, our diverse and inclusive people are our greatest asset. We’ve created a workplace where you can be yourself and do your best work. Where people with differing experiences, skills, and backgrounds are united by a common purpose, and are stronger together as a team.

    While we have many formal Inclusion & Diversity practices, much of our team’s affinity is driven by a shared passion for causes and activities that bring us together. 

    • Group standing in front of AMProud banner

    • Anjuum Siingh Singh

      Strategic Account Manager

      Anjum says the leadership team have always focused on championing diversity. “I have been privileged to have had incredibly supportive leaders in helping me progress. Working for an organisation where you are fully supported is such a source of fulfilment and pride."

      Anjum is a passionate advocate for women in financial services and her proudest career moment to date, is leading the AMP Advice Women’s Network, which launched in 2021.

    • Thinesh Thillainadarajah

      Legal Counsel

      “Companies should look like the communities they serve, and I am grateful to be part of an organisation like AMP that champions this. This allows people of colour and other employees from marginalised communities to authentically participate in reinventing AMP and create a better future for the company.”

    Flexibility and wellbeing

    We know there’s no one way of doing things. So, we’re committed to a flexible and inclusive hybrid work environment - one that fosters engagement, high performance and a sense of belonging.

    Here you’ll be trusted to do the right thing, so you’ll have ownership and control of how and when your work is done. Flexibility is embedded into everything we do, but not to the detriment of performance. Whether it’s working compressed hours, part-time hours or traditional hours - as long as you show up when it matters, you can build your days around your family, team and hobbies.

    Our WeFlex policy supports a combination of office and remote working – with an expected minimum of 8 days per month in office. But there’s also the opportunity to agree formal variances.

    We have great spaces to connect and collaborate when we come together in person. Find out where you could work here.

    Here you’re empowered to find the right balance for you and your team, and encouraged to use flexibility as a tool to help you be at your best.

    I love being a dad, and am grateful I get to be with my family so much while they are young

    Matthew Partridge
    Matthew Partridge Quality Analyst


    “As a Dad to three children under three, I really cherish that I’m able to spend this time with my family. It’s true what they say, you don’t get this time back. I love being a Dad, and am grateful I get to be with my family so much while they are young.”
     

    Matthew Partridge is a Quality Analyst in the Dispute Resolutions team at AMP. He is also a father to Luna (two and a half) and newborn twins Lily and Leo. Matthew is currently on twelve months parental leave under AMP’s refreshed Leave Policy, which has removed the distinction between primary and secondary carer to allow all parents to take fourteen weeks paid parental leave and have greater flexibility in when they do it. Matthew’s wife, Tiff, also works for AMP (they met at work!) and these changes are already making a significant difference to their young family.
     

    “When we found out about the changes, it was a no-brainer for us. It completely took away the stress of figuring out how we were going to juggle work and our growing family. With the addition of our beautiful twins, our house is pretty chaotic. We are also navigating the world of a very independent toddler for the first time so it’s great that Tiff and I can truly share this joy (and challenge!) as a team.”
     

    “My leaders were so supportive of me taking the time off, which just made me feel even more comfortable with my decision. When Luna was born, I was only able to take three weeks, and the difference is huge I think it’s great to see this inclusiveness at AMP.”
