Additionally, you will analyse incidents across the business to ensure swift resolution, capture lessons learned, and share insights to improve practices. You will also address existing and emerging operational issues through targeted projects or reviews, developing extreme loss event scenarios with input from business experts for Operational Risk Capital calculations, and respond to requests from stakeholders such as regulators, auditors, and senior Macquarie management.
