Our 18-month program provides a platform to experience a variety of Rabobank career options.

Legal Graduate

Launch a meaningful and dynamic Legal career by contributing to an in-house legal team dedicated to providing high quality legal services and commercial legal advice to various stakeholders resulting in excellent customer outcomes.

As a bank with a clear strategic focus on both empowering our employees and being a ‘rock solid bank’, the graduate program in the Legal team is designed to develop and foster the graduate’s understanding of the legal risks facing the business and how best to manage these, so as to protect the interests of the Bank.

Through the bespoke 18-month rotational program, the selected graduate will be exposed to a number of key legal functions within the Sydney office of the Bank (i.e. Wholesale Banking, Rural Banking, Major Agri Clients Banking, Corporate Legal and Governance), allowing the graduate to develop a well-rounded knowledge and understanding of the bank from a legal perspective.

To develop a well-rounded knowledge of the bank, you will also be placed on three short-term rotations within risk and compliance, rural or regional branch, and operations. Selected Graduates will also be placed on a short-term international rotation to connect with colleagues in our global head office in Utrecht, the Netherlands.
