Join to apply for the Manager Risk and Control Enablement role at Commonwealth Bank

Overview

Join a high-impact team within the Retail Operations (RO) division of the Chief Operations Office (COO), the engine room of the CBA Group. As a trusted advisor, you'll strengthen RO's risk and compliance capabilities and uplift the control environment across Everyday Banking Operations. The RO Risk Advisory team provides trusted advisory to strengthen risk and compliance capabilities and optimise the risk and control environment. This role offers an excellent opportunity for experienced operational risk professionals to broaden impact across a new business area, particularly in retail banking or home lending environments.

Responsibilities
  • Lead and own risk assessments for business and product change initiatives under the Change Management Risk Standard (CMRS).
  • Advise on emerging risks and control implications, ensuring risk mitigations are embedded early and influence cross-functional stakeholders (Product, Tech, Delivery) with clear, actionable risk advice.
  • Perform and lead proactive risk identification initiatives, such as risk deep dives.
  • Design, implement, and assess controls aligned to operational and compliance risk frameworks.
  • Drive control uplift initiatives and support control assurance activities and maintain compliance arrangements and obligations, ensuring adherence to policies, procedures, laws, regulations, and industry codes.
  • Lead structured root cause analysis and resolution planning for incidents, Risk and Control Self Assessments (RCSA) and Compliance Self Assessments (CSA).
  • Draft reports and deliver insights through dashboards and trend analysis to inform senior stakeholders and governance forums.
  • Enhance data quality across systems and support external assurance activities (Line 2 reviews, audits).
What You'll Bring
  • Proven experience in operational risk and compliance within financial services, ideally retail banking and risk repositories (such as IBM OpenPages/Riskinsite).
  • Expertise in control design, implementation, and assurance and issue management.
  • Strong communication and advisory skills, with the ability to influence and collaborate across business units and senior stakeholders.
  • Resilience, adaptability, and the ability to navigate complex stakeholder dynamics.
  • Tertiary qualifications in risk, business, or related disciplines; professional certifications are advantageous.
