This is an excellent opportunity within our Risk Management Group’s Operational Risk & Governance Division for a dynamic leader with expertise in Operational resilience and third-party risk management. In this role you will have 2nd Line Operational Risk responsibilities providing specialised risk oversight across both Third-party and Resilience risk frameworks.

Working with both business and project teams, you will be expected to lead activities relating to the line 2 oversight of these frameworks in line with Operational Resilience requirements, drawing on both your Subject Matter and people leadership experience. You will also have responsibility to provide specialised risk leadership and insight to ensure these frameworks and practices are effectively applied across the enterprise.

In this role, you will be in a leadership position in change initiatives related to these frameworks while also providing risk management expertise and oversight. Working closely with the framework owners in the Central Service Groups, you will:

- work in collaboration with other framework leads, project resource and line 1 business representatives to evolve, implement and oversight these Risk Frameworks
- monitor trends, escalating risk concerns as required and provide an integrated, balanced view on the risk profile and emerging trends. You will share learnings across Divisions, risk types, and external sources to inform best-practice risk management

You will have a strong presence with leadership to drive robust and challenging conversations, with the ability to initiate and lead conversations with business leaders and Risk Management colleagues. An investigative mindset, proactive curiosity and drive to explore where business processes may fail, and with the proven ability to sustain high levels of performance in a fast-paced, output focused environment, along with working knowledge of the regulatory environment in which Macquarie operates will enable you to be successful in this role.
