Your New Role

The Member Engagement, Education and Advice (MEEA) division sits at the heart of our vision to be most trusted choice for super, advice and retirement. The Line 1 Business Risk team plays a pivotal role in achieving that purpose.

• Providing risk advisory support to business and delivery teams, including identifying, assessing and managing operational and regulatory risks
• Leading risk profiling and monitoring activities, including development of KRIs and oversight of divisional risk exposure.
• Designing, implementing and testing controls to ensure compliance with regulatory obligations and the enterprise risk framework.
• Delivering risk reporting and insights to senior stakeholders, including risk forums and governance committees.

How do you exceed our expectations?

• The idea of being part of our growth is exciting and you want to play a pivotal role in making super simple.
• Strong experience in risk management, compliance, audit or assurance, ideally within financial services.
• Deep understanding of regulatory obligations across superannuation, financial advice or managed investment schemes.
• Proven ability to analyse data, derive insights and communicate complex risk concepts to diverse stakeholders.
