About the opportunity

Bank of New Zealand (BNZ) is looking for a Brand Associate to join its Auckland team. This role sits within a collaborative, fast-moving environment where creativity, learning, and career growth are actively encouraged. BNZ focuses on building a better future for its customers and communities, and this position plays a key part in bringing the brand promise to life across communications, campaigns, and customer experiences.

The role is well suited to a marketer who already has a few years of post-university experience and wants to deepen their brand and communications expertise. You will help ensure BNZ shows up consistently across every channel, with strong brand identity, clear messaging, and high-quality execution.

BNZ also offers support for wellbeing, flexible working, generous leave, and ongoing opportunities to learn and develop.

What you will do

• Work with design, creative, and media agency partners to make the best possible use of BNZ’s distinctive brand assets while keeping work brand-safe, on time, and within budget.
• Provide day-to-day support through the central brand inbox, including brand guidance, approvals, tone of voice support, copy direction, and risk-conscious decision-making.
• Help maintain the BNZ Brand Toolkit so it stays accurate, easy to access, and clearly communicated across the business.

What success looks like

You will thrive in a close-knit, high-performing team that values collaboration, shared knowledge, creativity, and strong delivery. The role offers the chance to work on major creative production projects as well as own end-to-end brand initiatives with support from experienced colleagues.

What BNZ is looking for
