I applied online. I interviewed at Standard Chartered Bank (Sydney) in Sep 2025
Interview
First round with the Hiring Manager & team, mostly about experience in relationship management. Second round with senior bankers from other product areas, essentially the same interview as the previous round. Third round with the Head of Department and HR, again an unstructured conversation with some Q&A. They ended up with an internal candidate after all this.
