The Associate Sustainability assesses and reviews sustainability risks for institutional bank customers and ensures compliance with Westpac’s sustainability requirements. This role also supports the integration of sustainability into frontline practices and the management of non‑financial risk.
As part of the Risk & Transaction stream, you will perform sustainability due diligence on higher‑risk customers, assess transactions that impact our financed‑emissions targets and support portfolio climate risk reviews.

- Someone who has a risk mindset with commercial acumen and analytical skills, who is comfortable with data, digital tools (incl. AI) and process driven environments.
- Ability to engage stakeholders (namely frontline bankers) and translate complex or subjective topics clearly, with well‑reasoned rationale.
