You've seen roles advertised, but they don't excite you. Something is always missing. Until now.

Te Pūtea Matua 's Graduate Programme is where you'll join a whānau | family of committed people who make key judgements affecting the ōhanga | economy to improve the lives of all those who call Aotearoa home. Everything we do enables people, communities and businesses to thrive, today and tomorrow.

From day one, you and your mahi | work will matter. You'll get connected and hands on because we understand that what makes you different is what makes you perfect. See what we see in you. You won't get lost here because we are small enough to be whānau, yet you'll be part of one of the world's most trusted and respected Central Banks.

We have openings across our offices in Wellington and Auckland. From your first day, you will have the opportunity to rotate within teams to get the best start and the broadest experience because you matter. At Te Pūtea Matua you become the heart of our Programme as we work to create and support a career pathway especially for you. Think of it as the ultimate springboard to a hugely satisfying and important future, enabling the economic wellbeing and prosperity for all New Zealanders as a kaitiaki | guardians of New Zealand's financial ecosystem.
