Manager, Assurance

This is a new and exciting opportunity to join our Financial Crime Risk Global Program Office to help set, uplift, and oversee the strategic direction for Financial Crime Assurance across our organisation globally. You will set and develop the strategic direction for FCR Assurance and lead the Financial Crime Risk Assurance team which is responsible for conducting risk-based assurance activities on the Financial Crime-related processes across the first and second lines of defence.

The Financial Crime Risk division reports to the Chief Risk Officer and supports our businesses, driving a high and consistent level of compliance and financial crime risk management, consistent with applicable national and international best practices and Macquarie’s core principles. FCR is responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable anti-money laundering (AML), counter terrorist financing (CTF), anti-bribery & corruption (AB&C) and economic sanctions requirements in all jurisdictions in which Macquarie operates.

You will play a role in defining the strategic direction for Financial Crime Risk Assurance across Macquarie globally taking into account industry best practice and experience. You will oversee the development, maintenance, and timely execution of the Financial Crime Risk Assurance plan. You will engage with senior business and functional stakeholders on the Financial Crime Risk Assurance strategy and specific assurance reviews where necessary. In addition, you will support the team on engagement with relevant risk management initiatives related to assurance and maintain regulatory knowledge and horizon scanning to inform a view of emerging risks and focus areas. This may include representing Macquarie at relevant industry forums within Australia.

You will have strong experience in setting and implementing global strategic direction and a delivery in an assurance function, internal audit or a comparable risk and control-related role at a major financial institution with a proven record of success. You will have excellent written and verbal communication skills and strong presentation skills with the ability to distil complex issues to clear and concise briefings for senior management. Your leadership and influencing skills will be used to drive team outcomes and maintain high stakeholder engagement.
