Institutional Graduate Programme (Feb 2025)

Get to where you need to be. Sooner / Tae atu ki te wāhi e hia nei koe. Tere tonu

ANZ’s award-winning graduate programmes are specifically designed to fast-track the career you’ve been working so hard towards. You’ll be in the express lane from day one as every graduate is hand-picked and hired to fill a genuine business need. Then when you cross the finishing line, a job will be waiting for you in an area of your choice - along with a healthy “end-of-program” pay rise.

Things move fast at ANZ as we’re doing the important work that only New Zealand’s largest bank with a global network can tackle. But don’t worry, we’re a nice bunch of people so you won’t be expected to have all the answers up front.

Instead, your rotations in different teams will open your eyes to what’s possible at ANZ and what’s the best path for you to take. And the 12-18 months you spend on the program will be jam packed with learning and networking opportunities to set you up with the contacts, confidence, and expertise to turbo charge your career.

So don’t delay, because our plans are big - and we want you right up front with us!

We have program pathways in a range of our divisions including Institutional.

About the Institutional Graduate Programme / Ngā taipitopito kōrero

​​​​ANZ’s Institutional business is a market leader across New Zealand, working with some of the Aotearoa’s largest companies to support their funding and growth requirements. Institutional provide a range of specialised lending, account and markets products to our domestic and international customers. As part of the Institutional team you’ll have the opportunity to get involved in a broad range of complex and dynamic matters, including:

• working closely with the international Institutional network to support our customers’ cross border needs;
• closely supporting our customers through their ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) journey; and
• delivering market leading and innovative industry insights, solutions and analytics to our customers.

As an Institutional Graduate, you are in for a phenomenal 12-18-month program! We have two options available within the Institutional program:

• rotations across different areas of our Institutional and Corporate divisions, including Relationship Banking, Sustainable Finance, Transaction Banking and Global Markets, where you will learn the foundational principles of what it means to be an Institutional banker;
• a role within our Institutional Operations business rotating through business units including Markets and Payments, Trade, Lending, Onboarding, Client Engagement and Business Transformation, where you’ll get exposure to our innovative digitisation and automation projects and gain knowledge of our customer channels, operational processes and systems.

We’ll work with you to determine the option that’s most suitable for, and of interest to, you.

In our area, we pride ourselves on nurturing our early talent and encouraging an always learning mindset. 

Our Grad alumni, Bella Sigley, shares her experience on the Institutional Graduate programme:

“After completing my Finance studies at university, I was still unsure of the career options ahead of me and where to start! Being involved in the ANZ Institutional Graduate program has granted me the opportunity to work across a variety of teams with their own unique ways of supporting our largest customers. This program has really allowed me to figure out what type of work I excel in whilst also building skills in new areas, all with the flexibility and support granted by the program managers and wider ANZ team. I’ve also highly valued the ongoing training provided and opportunities to sit down with ANZ’s senior leadership team and get valuable career insights from some amazing individuals.”
