Manager, Risk Governance

At Marsh McLennan, we're bolstering the risk and compliance capability needed to support a future that's resilient, safe, and ready – for our members, our clients, our colleagues, our business partners, and each other. In a world of constant change, risk and compliance are more than frameworks – they provide the confidence, clarity, and control to act decisively, and do the right thing. With strong foundations in place, we're focused on growing capability, lifting capacity, and creating a future-ready ecosystem where our colleagues feel supported to step up and speak up. We don't settle for good enough — we ask what better looks like, every day.

If you're driven by purpose and ready to make an impact, this is your moment.

You'll join a team with momentum, humility, and a deep belief that better decisions start with great colleagues.

We're looking individuals who care about doing what's right, and who want to help shape the next chapter of risk and compliance with us.

This role supports the establishment and maintenance of a comprehensive risk governance strategy and framework that seamlessly integrates strategic execution, reporting, risk management tools and data analytics across the MMC's operations in Australia.

We will count on you to:

• Collaborate with senior leadership and various business units to embed risk considerations into strategic initiatives and operational processes, promoting a culture of risk awareness.

• Establish and maintain integrated reporting mechanisms that provide timely insights into risk management activities, governance effectiveness, and compliance status for senior leadership and relevant stakeholders.

• Support the development and delivery of training programs focused on risk management tools and systems, ensuring employees are equipped to leverage data and analytics effectively.

• Act as a liaison with regulatory bodies to ensure compliance with relevant regulations and provide insights on emerging regulatory changes.

What you need to have:

• University-level qualifications in finance, law, business management, economics, or equivalent.

• Proven experience in governance, regulatory compliance, or legal areas, particularly within the financial services sector in Australia, New Zealand, or the United Kingdom.

• Strong understanding of risk management systems, frameworks, and compliance requirements, with the ability to provide strategic advice to senior executives and Board stakeholders.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage effectively with senior executives and Boards.

What makes you stand out:

• Experience working with local regulatory agencies (e.g., APRA, ASIC) and a sound understanding of the regulatory landscape.

• Ability to analyze complex data and prepare comprehensive reports on risk profiles and compliance plans.

• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage deliverables in a fast-paced environment with changing priorities.

• A proactive approach to continuous improvement and a commitment to fostering a robust risk culture within the organization.
