National Manager Equipment Finance 1st Party

How will I help?

As National Manager of our Equipment Finance (1st Party) business, you will lead the next phase of growth for a market-leading national franchise. This is a genuine leadership role with the mandate to set the strategy, lead a specialist sales team and build on Westpac’s No.1 position in equipment finance.

You will lead our First Party Equipment Finance business across Commercial, Regional & Agri, SME and Small Business. Working closely with bankers and relationship managers, you will bring equipment finance into customer conversations earlier, build a stronger pipeline and help more Australian businesses invest, grow and succeed.

Your impact will extend across the bank. You will influence Product, Credit, Operations, Technology, Risk, Financial Crime and Pricing to simplify policy, process, product and origination pathways for customers, bankers and specialists. You will also champion ongoing product and digital innovation to keep Westpac at the front of the market.

As a people leader, you will build an engaged, capable and accountable culture. You will set a high performance rhythm, coach and develop your leaders and specialists, and deliver quality growth across balances, revenue, settlements, profitability and market share while maintaining disciplined risk and capital management.

What’s in it for me?

You’ll play a significant part of the future of a business that has been around for over 200 years. Our purpose is to create better futures together. So, we’ll back you in the development of your career, internal career prospects, and flexible working. You’ll also keep learning to grow your career, backed by a fantastic team of people with a can-do, supportive structure.

Whatever shape your family takes, we offer generous paid and unpaid parental leave for your nominated primary and support carers. This includes leave to organise adoptions, surrogacy, and foster care arrangements. And we continue to pay your super contributions while you take all the time you need to get your new family settled.

What do I need?

We are looking for an established sales leader who can turn strategy into sustained performance. You will bring credibility in the equipment or asset finance market, strong commercial judgement and the energy to lead change across a large and complex organisation.

• A strong track record leading high-performing sales teams in equipment finance, asset finance, commercial banking or a closely related market.
• Deep understanding of equipment finance customers, distribution channels, market dynamics and the drivers of profitable growth.
• Demonstrated success setting strategy, building quality pipelines and delivering balance sheet, revenue, customer and market share outcomes.
• The ability to influence senior stakeholders, with a practical focus on removing customer and frontline friction.
• Sound risk judgement and the confidence to balance growth, customer outcomes, capital and portfolio quality.

We are open to leaders from banking, specialist finance, OEM or captive finance environments who can demonstrate the scale, market knowledge and leadership required to grow a national business.

What’s it like to work there?

We are a collaborative team of passionate people with a shared ambition to make a difference for our customers, our communities and each other. At Westpac, creating better futures together means creating impact, unlocking potential and turning ambition into meaningful outcomes.

As well as competitive remuneration and a great culture, joining the Westpac family gives you access to a wide range of employee benefits to help you manage your priorities - whether that means family life, work/life balance, ambition to grow or all the little things in between.

We’ll empower you to shape your career path through personalised upskilling, mentoring, and development opportunities. As an equal opportunity employer, we are proud to have created a culture and work environment that values diversity and flexibility – and champions inclusion.
