- Manage and deliver multiple risk and control uplift initiatives concurrently.
- Contribute to HI IMS administration and support broader risk and compliance reporting.

**What you’ll bring**:

- A minimum of 5 years' experience in process improvement, operational risk, or compliance, ideally within health insurance or a regulated environment.
- Tertiary qualifications in Business, Risk Management, or a related field.
- Demonstrated success leading risk/control initiatives and embedding control frameworks into operational processes.
- Deep understanding of risk principles and process mapping tools (e.g. Visio, Mega), and experience working with GRC platforms (e.g. Protecht).
- Strong communication, facilitation, and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to influence and educate across diverse business functions.
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with strong attention to detail.
- A collaborative mindset with the ability to work across multiple teams and business units.
