We’ve never been ‘just a bank’. Just like you should never be ‘just an employee’. We’re united in our belief that in banking, better can be bigger, and together we’re making it happen.

 

 

It starts here. With Bendigo Bank… and you.

 


About the opportunity

As the Senior Manager - Data Products, you will be responsible for leading the core technical capability that underpins the design and build of all enterprise data products.

Acting as a key partner to Engineering and Data Product Leads, you will maintain a group-wide view of the data product portfolio, driving consistency, currency, and fit-for-purpose solutions while championing cross-domain reusability.

This is a critical leadership role where you will foster a psychologically safe, trusting, and continuous learning environment, directly managing and coaching a specialised team of Technical Analysts and Data Modellers.

 


In this role you’ll get to…

  • Lead, coach, and develop a high-performing team of Technical Analysts and Data Modellers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement.
  • Define and maintain the standards, patterns, and best practices for data analysis, data modelling, and the technical specification of data products.
  • Own the ongoing currency, fitness-for-purpose, and technical lifecycle of the existing enterprise data product portfolio.
  • Partner closely with Data Product Leads to translate domain-level business requirements into robust, reusable technical designs.
  • Act as a key technical partner to the Engineering Manager and Principal Engineer to ensure your team provides clear, high-quality analysis and models that enable efficient development.
  • Ensure all data product designs align with Data Governance and Trust frameworks, working within enterprise frameworks to meet regulatory and audit obligations.

What you’ll bring to the role

To be successful in the role you will have:

  • 8+ years of experience in data-centric roles, such as Data Architecture, Data Modelling, or Senior Technical/Business Analysis.
  • Proven experience leading, coaching, and managing a team of technical specialists.
  • Demonstrated experience overseeing the design and delivery of large-scale data solutions or data products.
  • Deep expertise in data modelling, data analysis, and data architecture within a complex enterprise environment/banking or financial services industry.
  • Proven ability to partner effectively with both business-facing and engineering teams.
  • A Degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field (Certifications in data modelling or architecture are desirable).

 

This is a permanent, full-time opportunity. We are open to all locations for the right candidate, with a preference for someone to join us at our Melbourne Head Office.

We offer flexible work options that put our people first, working in a hybrid model with a minimum local Head Office attendance requirement determined by your Leader, to find a rhythm that works best for you and your team. We believe that coming into the office some of the time is the best way to learn, stay connected and collaborate effectively, especially for key activities like team days, 1:1s, and town halls.

So, why work with us?

Want big impact that matters?
Here, you’ll know your work directly benefits the customers and communities we all serve.

Want to be more than just a number? Join a team that truly values you – and that gets more and more diverse every day.

Want career opportunity AND flexibility? Achieve both here, where we know that balance and progression go hand in hand.

You’ll also get access to a great range of benefits, including:

  • Hybrid work? Flexible hours? A compressed work week? Flexibility means different things for different people and our flexible work options are designed to suit your life.
  • Health and wellbeing support, including discounted gym memberships, private health insurance options, and our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for you and your immediate family members.
  • Opportunities to take your learning to the next level through our corporate university ‘BEN U’ or at an external provider of your choice

We’re making better, bigger. And we’ll get there with you.

We believe a diverse workforce supported by an inclusive culture is central to our success, and we actively encourage applications from those who bring diversity of thought to our business.
