Council of the City of Sydney, Australia Macquarie Bank Limited Full time

Overview

Join our dynamic and highly motivated team of experienced risk professionals, where you’ll foster a strong risk culture, drive innovation, and make a tangible impact. In this pivotal role, you’ll partner with Macquarie’s businesses to manage Technology Risk in alignment with our Operational Risk Management Frameworks. With global exposure across regions including the UK, US, Asia, and Sydney, you’ll engage with diverse teams and stakeholders while contributing to the assurance function.

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?

In this role, you will play a pivotal part in collaborating with technology teams and senior business stakeholders to effectively manage Technology Risk, particularly within the fast-paced environments of our market-facing businesses. Your work will focus on addressing risks tied to trading platforms, market data systems, and other specialised technologies critical to our business operations. As a key member of the team, you’ll take ownership of assurance and control testing activities, including conducting walkthroughs, preparing insightful reports, and engaging with senior stakeholders. Beyond testing, you’ll proactively identify operational issues and control breakdowns, offering strategic advice to address challenges and prevent future occurrences. By leading risk incident investigations, you’ll uncover root causes and deliver robust solutions, all while embedding a proactive risk culture.

Harnessing advanced data analytics tools such as Alteryx, Power BI, and SQL, you will drive innovation by automating control testing processes and delivering actionable insights to strengthen risk oversight. You will also contribute to continuous improvement initiatives and support strategic projects that address evolving business needs. You’ll be part of a growing global team, with the flexibility to engage in risk advisory functions when assurance demand is low.

- Strong expertise in technology risk or cyber risk management, assurance, or audit, ideally within financial services or professional services
- Specialised knowledge in managing risks related to trading platforms, market data systems, and other specialised technologies is valuable
- Proficiency in process automation, coding, and data analytics tools such as Alteryx, Power BI, or SQL, enabling the delivery of innovative solutions and actionable insights

- Excellent communication skills, with the confidence to lead discussions with business leaders and risk management colleagues on emerging issues
- Highly motivated and adaptable, thriving in dynamic, fast-paced, and enterprise agile environments, with prior experience in equities or financial markets is highly regarded.

What we offer

- 1 wellbeing leave day per year
- Up to 5 additional service bonus leave days per year
- Up to 20 weeks’ paid parental leave for primary caregivers along with 12 days of transition leave upon return to work, and 6 weeks’ paid leave for non-primary caregivers
