For this exciting new role, we are looking for someone with extensive Risk Management experience, comfortable working in a fast-moving transformation environment with a degree of ambiguity.

We expect you to have a strong understanding of risk management frameworks and experience adapting them to specific organizational needs. You should also possess:

  • Demonstrated experience in banking/financial services/other relevant experience coupled with a strong operational risk management background across Line 1 environments.
  • Extensive experience in controls and process management paired with managing audit and assurance activities across either Line 1 or risk environments.
  • Influencing and consulting skills with the ability to build relationships with stakeholders at all levels; ability to think critically and analytically and use data-driven insights to achieve risk / assurance outcomes.
  • Experience delivering reports and associated insights to all levels of management (operational and strategic).
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • A minimum of 5 years' experience working within Line 1 or 2 Risk.

As part of our high-performance culture, we offer exceptional benefits, including a personal development budget of $1500, exceptional parental leave, mental physical and financial well-being initiatives, and a commitment to diversity and inclusion.
