About the Role

This is a high-impact leadership opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, strategic environment. As Senior Manager, Operational Risk & Reporting, you'll be responsible for shaping and delivering UniSuper's operational risk frameworks, including controls management, enterprise change risk, and operational risk profiling.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead and govern the Fund's operational risk framework and documentation in alignment with CPS 230.
• Manage a high-performing team focused on uplifting risk culture, improving profiling and reporting, and optimising GRC system usage.
• Oversee the GRC system (RADAR), including vendor management, system strategy, and data integrity for reporting.
• Deliver accurate, timely, and automated risk reporting to senior leadership.
• Lead initiatives that enhance risk culture and resolve systemic issues.

What You'll Bring

• Demonstrated ability to operate with autonomy and accountability, keeping senior stakeholders well-informed.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and change, with a proven track record of thriving in fast-paced, commercial environments.
• Strong leadership and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to build trust, influence outcomes, and drive transparency.
• Strategic mindset with a proactive approach to identifying risks and opportunities, and a collaborative style that focuses on delivering solutions.
• Extensive experience in operational risk, ideally within financial services or other highly regulated sectors.
• Solid understanding of relevant legislation and regulatory frameworks, with preferred qualifications in Risk and Audit.
