- Prepare reporting and guidance for the Board of Directors, Senior Management, Board Audit Committee, Risk Management Committee, and Monthly Business Review
- Evaluate operational policies and procedures to achieve the identified risk management objectives and recommend improvements where necessary. Introduce new technology, improved Risk Management techniques and approaches to assist risk identification, measurement, and control.
- Facilitate and coordinate business unit documentation of operational policies and procedures to improve risk posture and regulatory compliance.
- Monitor the progress of risk management processes on existing and new projects/activities.
- Design, build, implement and run a ‘self-audit’ process to test processes / systems to ensure compliance with regulatory instruments.
- Drive continual improvement by reviewing frameworks and processes based off feedback from the business, complaints, TIO, any legislative undertaking.
- Advise management on risks and actions to ensure compliance and ensure a safe working environment by identifying and addressing risks within appropriate time frames.
- Work collaboratively with business owners to ensure operational compliance readiness where there are changed regulatory requirements or new Consumer initiatives launching.

What you’ll bring to this role
- Demonstrated experience leading a Risk & Compliance team in the Energy or Telco industry.
- Prior experience implementing self-risk audit processes into a multi-layered organisation and educating and partnering with business stakeholders to improve understanding of regulatory and compliance requirements.
- The ability to implement processes and system controls to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
- Demonstrated experience in managing the impact of change both from an organisational and people perspective, including offshore environments.
