DescriptionHow will I help?
The Head of Data Platforms, Mortgages will serve several critical internal clients, including the business units of Consumer and Business Bank. As an influential data leader, you will play a crucial role designing, building, and implementing data solutions for the department that works to protect the customers and community we serve.

Your data delivery program expertise and curiosity will be complemented by outstanding interpersonal skills. You will be as adept at listening to and partnering with internal stakeholders as you are skilful at devising and implementing creative data delivery solutions.
Your key responsibilities include:
- Work with your internal client leadership terms to understand and strategically influence their respective roadmaps, ensuring it both influences and is informed by the Westpac Data Strategy and architectural standards.
- Work with your Chief Engineer, CBB Chief Information Officer (CIO) and Business Partners to champion the transformation and execution strategy of our legacy.
- Understand and utilise the full functional capability of Data Platforms applications and work with the CBB CIO and business teams to deliver customer-focused business solutions. Share knowledge to further deliver return-on-investment for Data Platform applications.
- Deliver data services and projects for CBB including data products, insights, and reporting for regulatory and business purposes.
- Be a change agent, assisting Westpac’s data revolution to uplift data maturity across all the business units you work with, and refocus the respective department’s delivery model to drive customer insights through various data technologies.
