JP's career journey with Beyond Bank.
JP moved to Australia from South Africa in 2019 and settled in Canberra to begin his career at Beyond Bank. He later made the move to Perth to head up our customer experience operations in Western Australia.
He said Beyond Bank’s community-focused approach, its commitment to employee development, and its B Corp status were some of the main reasons he loves where he works.
“The company was really fantastic to allow me to settle in the way that I needed to,” he said.
“Obviously moving interstate is quite a big move so it just allowed me that opportunity to come here and to settle in well.”
He said while any good organisation always needed to look externally for talent, the emphasis Beyond Bank put on growing and promoting internally was a key strength.
“If there's a potential fit for a role or a promotion, Beyond Bank is open to promoting internally, which talks to their culture of investing in their people,” he said.
“Beyond Bank's absolute passion for their people is second-to-none, but also their passion for customers and how they bring the two together – that is where the magic happens.”
“Bringing our A-game every day for our organisation, for our people, for our customers – and we live those values, which is what really resonates with me,” he said.
JP’s journey to his current role in Western Australia was one that took him right across the country, but he said he felt valued and supported the entire way through.
“Beyond Bank has really created an open platform for everyone within the organisation to put their hand up and to be counted, and they also back you up and make sure the transition is reasonable and possible.”
