Manager, Project Assurance

Overview

The Transformation Office sits within the Financial Management, People and Engagement Group and plays a pivotal role in driving successful project delivery by offering comprehensive advisory services, including change management, benefits realisation, and resource and financial management. We ensure independent assurance through stage gate reviews and in-depth assessments of key initiatives to manage delivery risks effectively.

At Macquarie, our advantage is bringing together diverse people and empowering them to shape all kinds of possibilities. We are a global financial services group operating in 31 markets and with 56 years of unbroken profitability. You'll be part of a friendly and supportive team where everyone - no matter what role - contributes ideas and drives outcomes.

What role will you play?

As a Manager, you will be responsible for project assurance activities, including stage gate reviews and deep-dive health checks, to ensure adherence to the Delivery Framework within Financial Management, People, and Engagement Transformation. By evaluating risks, issues, and dependencies in project delivery processes, you will identify potential risks and recommend mitigations while preparing and facilitating stage gate approval documentation to ensure initiatives are managed consistently and with a focus on risk awareness. Additionally, you will collaborate closely with delivery portfolios, offering pragmatic solutions to project teams to ensure proportional risk management and compliance with internal delivery and risk standards.

Your role will involve creating and executing Project Assurance reports, documenting findings, and ensuring alignment with risk management protocols. You will foster teamwork and effective communication across project teams, driving shared goals in risk management and assurance. Moreover, you will contribute to best practice guidance for managing delivery risks and monitor project documentation, including non-compliance reporting, ensuring timely updates and escalation of major issues. By building strong relationships with Portfolio stakeholders, you will provide timely project assurance to support the smooth progress of initiatives.
