Senior Manager, Risk Governance

We are currently seeking a talented individual to join our MMC Risk and Compliance team as the Senior Manager, Risk Governance. This role can be based anywhere in Australia. This is a hybrid role that has a requirement of working at least three days a week in the office.

Senior Manager, Risk Governance
At Marsh McLennan, we're bolstering the risk and compliance capability needed to support a future that's resilient, safe, and ready – for our members, our clients, our colleagues, our business partners, and each other. In a world of constant change, risk and compliance are more than frameworks – they provide the confidence, clarity, and control to act decisively, and do the right thing. With strong foundations in place, we're focused on growing capability, lifting capacity, and creating a future-ready ecosystem where our colleagues feel supported to step up and speak up. We don't settle for good enough — we ask what better looks like, every day.

If you're driven by purpose and ready to make an impact, this is your moment.

You'll join a team with momentum, humility, and a deep belief that better decisions start with great colleagues.

We're looking for individuals who care about doing what's right, and who want to help shape the next chapter of risk and compliance with us.

This role is responsible for leading the design and implementation of a comprehensive risk governance framework that aligns with the organisation's strategic objectives, ensuring effective oversight and accountability across MMC Pacific entities.

We will count on you to:

• Develop and refine internal policies, procedures, and guidelines to ensure compliance with legal requirements and address emerging regulatory and market issues.
• Collaborate with senior leadership to integrate risk considerations into strategic planning and execution, promoting a culture of risk awareness and accountability throughout the organisation.
• Establish and maintain integrated reporting mechanisms that provide timely insights into risk management activities, governance effectiveness, and compliance status to senior leadership and relevant stakeholders.
• Act as a liaison with regulatory bodies to ensure compliance with relevant regulations and participate in regulatory consultations.

What you need to have:

• University-level qualifications in finance, law, business management, economics, or equivalent.
• Experience in governance, regulatory compliance, or legal areas, particularly within the financial services sector in Australia, New Zealand, or the United Kingdom.
• Strong understanding of Legal, Risk, and Compliance frameworks, with the ability to interpret and apply legislative requirements strategically.
• Proven ability to analyse data and prepare comprehensive reports related to risk profiles and compliance plans.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage effectively with senior executives and boards.

What makes you stand out:

• Experience with risk management systems, frameworks, and processes, as well as compliance systems and frameworks.
• Familiarity with local regulatory agencies (e.g., APRA, ASIC) and international entities.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage deliverables amidst rapidly changing priorities.
• A proactive approach to promoting innovation and best practices within the risk governance framework.
• Ability to coach and mentor team members, fostering a robust risk culture that supports the organisation's long-term success.

Why Join Our Team?

• We help you be your best through professional development opportunities, interesting work and supportive leaders.
• We foster a vibrant and inclusive culture where you can work with talented colleagues to create new solutions and have impact for colleagues, clients and communities.
• Our scale enables us to provide a range of career opportunities, as well as benefits and rewards to enhance your well-being.
