This Melbourne-based, 12-month max term contract role will empower you to grow your career and contribute from day one in an organisation that values your mental, physical, and financial wellbeing.

The Opportunity

In this exciting new role, you will partner closely with the M&G Leadership Team and other departments to enable strong risk management and seize strategic opportunities. As a Risk Manager, you will collaborate with key stakeholders to strengthen controls and adopt new business processes through risk management oversight, controls assurance, testing, and reporting as UniSuper's governance model matures.

Additional key responsibilities include:

  • Monitoring, oversight, and challenge across department, risk projects, incident, compliant management, remediation, and data quality of UniSuper's risk management system.
  • Supporting monthly operational Marketing & Growth risk reporting.
  • Conducting control assurance and testing, monitoring and reporting on risk activities such as incidents (breaches) and compliance obligations, and preparing written reports for relevant committees.
  • Supporting Internal Audit and assurance testing activities in accordance with UniSuper's Assurance Map.
  • Understanding how change will be delivered into the business and ensuring risks arising are assessed and effectively managed.
  • Working closely across Marketing & Growth teams (Product, Business Development & Employer Partnerships, Marketing, Digital...) to support achieving business unit objectives.

About You

To succeed in this role, you will have extensive Risk Management experience, with a strong understanding of risk management frameworks and experience adapting them to specific organisational needs.

You will possess excellent listening, engagement, and rapid adaptive delivery skills, as well as influencing and consulting skills to build relationships with stakeholders at all levels.

A minimum of 5 years' experience working within Line 1 or 2 Risk is essential, along with strong written and verbal communication skills.

We believe that the best way to achieve great things is when we come together and collaborate, so we ask you to commit to 60% of your time in office.
