How will I help?
This role is responsible for leading and executing the Group's ability to anticipate, manage and withstand, and recover from disruptions. Reporting to the General Manager, Property, Procurement and Protective Services, the Chief Resilience Officer will oversee the continued development and sustained management of the Westpac Group's operational resilience, business continuity, crisis management and service provider governance. Sitting in the Customer and Corporate Services shared services division in the Westpac Group, you, along with the Business Resilience team, will support businesses across the whole Group.

As the Chief Resilience Officer, you will be accountable for the development and oversight of policies, frameworks and programs intended to mitigate / reduce business disruption impact, ensure compliance to regulatory, strategic, operational, financial obligations whilst managing and overseeing incident responses. In this newly created role, you will build and manage a team of professionals who will ensure that the Westpac Group has robust business continuity plans in place to maintain critical operations and services during emergencies or crises. This includes coordinating response efforts, establishing alternate facilities, and testing continuity plans through simulations or exercises.

The Chief Resilience Officer will be a high profile role where, for major issues that impact the Group, you will lead its crisis response and oversight, as well as any post incident reviews. To that end, you must build and foster trust-based relationships with business leaders, key stakeholders including regulators, strategic partners and professional organisations and act as the trusted advisor to all organisational stakeholders, including directly to the Group Executive team and Board.

You'll also keep learning to grown, backed by a fantastic team of people with a can-do, supportive structure.

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?
You will have substantial experience (10+ years) at a group-wide level in operational resilience, business continuity planning, crisis management, service provider governance, or related fields within the financial services industry. You'll hold a tertiary qualification in a business-related discipline and/or relevant industry qualifications, as well as demonstrable knowledge of relevant risk management standards, principles, practices, and frameworks, including experience in identifying, assessing, and mitigating various types of risks relevant to financial institutions. This includes financial risks, operational risks, cyber risks, and emerging risks such as climate-related risks. Your experience in navigating regulatory frameworks and ensuring compliance with regulatory expectations includes reporting requirements and regulatory examinations.

With a track record of building trusted relationships at executive level, you have a strong strategic lens and problem-solving abilities for identifying emerging risks, anticipating potential disruptions, and developing proactive resilience strategies to mitigate risks and enhance organisational resilience. You have experience in driving organisational change and fostering a culture of resilience within an organisation. This includes the ability to effectively communicate the importance of resilience, engage stakeholders, and drive adoption of resilience initiatives.
