Ko Matou - About Us

Kia Hanga I Te Ao, E Ora Ai, E Tupu Ai, Te Tangata Me Te Kainga. At ANZ, we're shaping a world where people and communities thrive, driven by a common goal: to improve the financial wellbeing and sustainability of our millions of customers.

Mo te turanga - About the role

Tax is such a dynamic area, from being a hot topic coming into elections, continual change in law and Government policy as well as being often debated in public circles. Add to that the dynamic nature of ANZ, which is New Zealand's largest non-Government taxpayer, this role offers great variety and challenge.

This role is part of the NZ tax team and supports the accurate and efficient delivery of ANZ's New Zealand tax compliance and tax accounting obligations. The role will also support tax compliance and tax accounting for ANZ's operations in Pacific Island countries and Papua New Guinea. You will get the opportunity to be involved in many large ANZ projects and will gain exposure to a broad range of ANZ business units, as well as interactions with NZ Inland Revenue.

Banking is changing and we're changing with it, giving our people great opportunities to try new things, learn and grow. Whatever your role at ANZ, you'll be building your future, while helping to build ours.
