Advisor Business Controls

You will play a key role in supporting the business manage risk, providing input into the development of frameworks, policies, supporting standards, processes and procedures by collaborating and partnering with your team and stakeholders, advancing understanding of our risk, obligation and control environment.

You will test and monitor the effectiveness of controls, compliance with obligations and risk appetite, as well as provide risk insights by identifying new / emerging risks and regulatory change, to support the consistent delivery of meaningful value to our customers. Where risk events or compliance breaches occur, you will drive, track and monitor remediation and treatment of risks outside of appetite to fulfill our commitment to our customers and communities.

You will support the consistent implementation of change by ensuring that Great Southern Bank’s frameworks, policies, supporting standards, processes and procedures are applied, with a focus on embedding divisional senior leader accountability for risk management.

The Process and Controls team plays a key role in strengthening front line accountability for risk management, providing thought leadership, advice and challenge in the management of risks, obligations and controls, and overseeing adherence to risk appetite.
