Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Westpac Group Full time

How will I help?


In this role as Head of Divisional Risk, Business and Wealth Division you'll provide effective 2nd line risk advice, oversight, and challenge, supporting the division to execute its risk strategy seamlessly.


You'll lead our Business & Wealth Divisional non-financial risk oversight team, ensuring clear direction that aligns with our Risk strategy, Group strategy, and risk management policies and frameworks.

As a key support to our B&W Chief Risk Officer, you'll help build a high-performing Risk team that embodies our division's culture and achieves desired outcomes.

Your responsibilities will include providing independent risk advice to our Leadership Team, participating in decision-making, and ensuring that non-financial risk remains consistent with our risk appetite.

You'll be responsible for divisional level non-financial risk oversight.

You'll act as a role model for Westpac's risk culture and customer-centricity, influencing behaviors, and driving business engagement in risk management.

You'll also be the primary contact for the Leadership Team of the BCM HUB and provide independent advice, oversight, and challenge regarding the management of non-financial risks at the divisional level.


What's in it for me?
You'll play a significant part of the future of a business that has been around for 200 years. Our purpose is to create better futures together. So, we'll back you in the development of your career, internal career prospects, and flexible working. You'll also keep learning to grown, backed by a fantastic team of people with a can-do, supportive structure.

Whatever shape your family takes, we offer generous paid and unpaid parental leave for your nominated primary and support carers.

This includes leave to organise adoptions, surrogacy, and foster care arrangements. And we continue to pay your super contributions while you take all the time you need to get your new family settled

What do I need?
We're looking for someone with over 10 years of Operational Risk Experience in retail banking and financial services. Strong knowledge of Operational Risk Management Frameworks is essential, along with the ability to think and act strategically. While not essential, business knowledge of Business Lending and Wealth Management and data analytical skills will set you apart.

You have a solid Leadership background with effective people management skills in a corporate environment. With demonstratable experience in dealing with and presenting to senior stakeholders, showcasing your ability to navigate high-level discussions effectively. Your ability to influence others to drive results is paramount.

What is it like to work there?
We aim to provide one big, supportive team to help us achieve our purpose of creating better futures together.

As well as competitive remuneration and a great culture, joining the Westpac family means you will get some of the best banking, wealth and insurance benefits in the market.
