About us and your new team

In May 2020 CBA announced that it had sold a 55% stake of Colonial First State (superannuation, investment and retirement solutions & platform business) to Private Equity Firm KKR with the transaction expected to be completed midway through 2021.

Colonial First State (CFS) provides a Wrap Platform to independent financial advisers, dealer groups and other organisations and their clients to invest in a variety of investment options and to manage, transact and report on those investments.

The majority of the Wrap team (business and IT) is based in the CFS office based in Hawthorn but some business/project stakeholders are also based in Sydney. With the impending separation of CFS from Commbank and a number of major transformation and uplift programs underway, there is a need to carefully plan, track and manage the activities in these projects to meet budget, schedule, quality and scope objectives.
