Technology Sourcing Manager

Judo Bank is on the lookout for a Sourcing Manager who will lead the partnering and strategic sourcing across technology related categories to deliver value driven commercial and contractual outcomes

Who are we?

We're Judo Bank. A purpose-built challenger bank, built on old-fashioned values like integrity, trusted relationships and an enterprising spirit. Born out of a desire to reinvent the craft of relationship banking for the Small to Medium Enterprise (SME) market, and to challenge the status quo in a market dominated by the four major banks. We started from a PowerPoint and a bold vision to make a difference in Australian business banking. In a few short years, we have grown significantly, and with offices around the country, Judo Bank is one of the fastest growing new banks in the world. We're proud to support Australian SMEs and are a business built on trusted relationships, putting our people and customers at the centre of everything we do. Being agile and adaptive, we are purpose built to say yes, to make it easier for our customers to get the funding they need, when they need it. We pride ourselves on our personal relationships with customers, our diverse workforce and collaborative culture.

We deeply value diversity of background, experience and thought, and encourage First Nations people, LGBTIQA+ people, people from under-represented or minority backgrounds, people of all ages, and people living with disability to apply.
