Inquiring + motivated
Questions provoke fresh thinking and inspire new ideas. Macquarie Relationship Banking is built on doing things differently. That’s where you come in.
We want graduates who can think for themselves. Graduates motivated by opportunity. Graduates inspired by achievers and exhilarated by ideas, who can help our clients achieve their vision for growth.
It is critical to get up in the morning, eager and ready for the day ahead. It must also be challenging work, something that will make you think. The less day-to-day routine, the better. -- Peter Conomos

Macquarie Relationship Banking focuses heavily on the wellbeing of its employees. As important as profit and improvement are within the division, the positive working environment is equally important. There is a big drive to ensure staff are motivated and happy. -- Peter Conomos, Associate, graduated 2006
I really enjoy the work I do – it’s interesting, challenging, allows me to use my problem-solving skills and also think outside the square in putting the client first and trying to think of ways to improve their situation. The Macquarie Relationship Banking difference is in the team approach to achieving goals and the focus on work-life balance. -- Akash Aggarwal, Analyst, graduated 2005
The management is easygoing while still getting the best out of people. Everyone is happy to help when questions are asked. There are far more opportunities for me as a graduate than I had expected when joining the workforce. -- Emily Martinello, Business Analyst, graduated 2006
