- Prepare reports, guidelines, and updates for project and business reporting.
- Participate in Executive-Level Risk Committees and engage with senior leadership on key risk and governance matters.

- Strong knowledge of regulatory requirements for superannuation and corporate governance.
- Excellent stakeholder engagement skills and the ability to influence, negotiate, and manage conflict.
- Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex concepts and influence decision-making.
- A strong growth mindset with a commitment to continuous improvement and high attention to detail.
