Requirements:

This position is open to graduates from all degree backgrounds. To be eligible you should have achieved a 60% grade point average or above (GPA) either to date or overall in your degree subject. Please attach a copy of your transcript to your application so that this can be cross-referenced.

This position will interact with stakeholders across the operations department, therefore the ability to build strong working relationships and adapt dependent on the team you are supporting is critical for success. Additionally, as the projects you will deliver are defined by business needs at a point in time, you should feel comfortable in working with ambiguity and ceasing opportunities to deliver as they arise.

Whilst there is not an expectation that you have come from a financial degree background, it's anticipated that some projects will be of an analytical nature. Therefore, an interest in working with data and drawing conclusions with a view of making commercial recommendations is desirable.

To be eligible for the Stockland programme you must currently be studying for or have completed a suitable degree in the last 24 months of the programme start date. This programme will start in February 2019.

Due to the permanent nature of this role we can only accept applications who are a citizen of or hold permanent residency in Australia or New Zealand.
