Senior Associate/Associate Director - Financial Insights, Risk and Enablement

We're looking for a Senior Associate / Associate Director to join the Financial Insights, Risk and Enablement team within Group Treasury's Chief Investment Office (CIO). CIO manages the risks arising from Westpac's daily banking activities and structural balance sheet positions including interest rate, foreign currency, basis risks, liquid assets, collateral obligations, and liquidity risk.

You'll be the primary contact for traders when risk or valuation issues arise in CIO's Front Office Risk and P&L platform (Dragon). You'll diagnose system breaks, translate complex valuation mechanics into trader-friendly language, and support solution design for continuous improvements. You'll also represent CIO in broader Group Treasury initiatives and identify opportunities to simplify processes and reduce operational risk. This role requires strong quantitative and analytical skills to support decision-making and drive continuous improvement across systems and processes. This is a full-time permanent role based in Sydney, with a hybrid working environment (3 days in office).

Responsibilities
  • Be the go-to expert for risk and valuation issues arising from Group Treasury's CIO Front Office Risk and P&L platform
  • Drive platform improvements and process simplification to reduce operational risk and boost productivity
  • Collaborate with traders and stakeholders to diagnose issues, translate valuation mechanics, and design solutions
What's the role?

As part of the Financial Insights, Risk and Enablement team within CIO, you'll work to support decision-making and drive improvements across systems and processes that manage risk and valuation in Westpac's front office environment. You'll liaise with traders, diagnose system breaks, and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.

What do I need?

To be successful in this role, you'll bring:

  • Strong quantitative and analytical skills, with experience in financial market products and risk platforms
  • Knowledge of Financial Markets and Treasury, including Murex product system and front office risk and P&L
  • Excellent Excel skills; programming experience (e.g., Python, VBA, SQL) is a valuable bonus
  • Relevant tertiary qualifications
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work with stakeholders across multiple levels
  • A proactive, self-motivated attitude with a focus on problem-solving and continuous improvement
Why join us?

We're obsessed with becoming our customers' #1 banking partner for life and are committed to making Westpac the best place to work. Here are a few ways we're supporting that goal:

  • Special offers on banking products and discounts from top brands, including mortgage rates for employees
  • Flexible work arrangements and various leave options to support work/life balance
  • Tailored learning and development opportunities to grow your career
  • Volunteer opportunities and community involvement
