  • Review and contribute to responsible entity business plans, policies, and board reporting processes.
  • Engage in incident and breach forums, contributing to regulator reportability assessments.
  • Build strong, trusted relationships across business units and within the risk function.
  • Influence behavioural and mindset change through effective communication and stakeholder engagement.
  • Drive a culture of proactive risk management and compliance integrity.

What We’re Looking For
We’re seeking a strategic and pragmatic senior risk professional with the following experience and attributes:

  • Minimum 8 years’ experience in financial product or risk-related roles.
  • Strong knowledge of investment and operational risk within the Asset Management industry.
  • Demonstrated experience operating in organisations undergoing transformation.
  • Proven ability to navigate complexity, apply sound judgment and influence outcomes.
  • Excellent analytical, communication and report writing skills.
  • Strong interpersonal skills and a track record of fostering trusted, constructive relationships.
  • A relevant tertiary qualification in Business, Law, Finance or a related discipline.

Why Consider This Role?
This is a high-impact leadership opportunity in a purpose-driven financial institution. You’ll join a forward-thinking, collaborative environment where you’ll contribute to industry-leading risk practices and be instrumental in shaping a strong risk culture. This role offers meaningful influence, professional challenge, and the chance to contribute to better outcomes for clients and the broader financial services ecosystem.
