  • Highly practiced stakeholder engagement for business development and growth, both domestically and internationally.

About You:

You are a visionary leader who brings both deep expertise and a forward-thinking approach to managing compliance and risk in a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape. You have extensive experience in anti-money laundering protocols, regulatory compliance, and customer risk assessment, as well as a proven ability to develop and lead high-performing teams, implement robust due diligence frameworks, and maintain the highest standards of integrity.

We welcome applications from all cultures, ages, religions, genders, LGBTQI+ people, Australia's First Nations Peoples, and people with disabilities.
