Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Latitude Financial Services Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year

At Latitude, we make it possible – for our customers, our communities, and our people. We believe in creating opportunities that truly matter, helping you thrive both professionally and personally. That's why we offer benefits that make a real difference in your life.

We make it possible…

  • to spend more time with your loved ones – with an extra week of paid leave each year through our Take 5 initiative.

  • to balance work and life – with a hybrid working model, giving you the flexibility to work from home while connecting in the office just two days a week

  • to put your wellbeing first – with Sonder, a 24/7 support app for mental and physical wellness.

  • to access great financial benefits – with discounts on Latitude products and services.

To support the performance of the business, we are investing in operational

excellence and risk maturity to ensure our foundations are strong, scalable, and

compliant - while continuing to innovate and grow.

As Operational Excellence (Line 1 Risk) Manager, you will lead the uplift of risk and

control practices within our Sales Finance business. Sitting in the first line, you'll

work across product, pricing, marketing, and partner management to ensure risks

are proactively identified, processes are efficient and compliant, and control

environments are embedded in how we work. You will champion operational

improvement while keeping customer, partner, and regulatory outcomes front and

centre

In this role, you'll:

  • Lead the design and implementation of Line 1 controls across core

    operational processes (e.g. pricing execution, campaign approvals, partner

    onboarding).

  • Identify and address control gaps, process inefficiencies, or emerging

    operational risks through continuous improvement initiatives.

  • Collaborate with the end-to-end value chain to ensure new initiatives are

    launched with fit-for-purpose risk frameworks and documented controls.

  • Act as a key point of contact with Line 2 Risk, Compliance, and Audit, ensuring

    evidence and traceability of control activities.

  • Drive process optimisation through automation, documentation, and clearer

    roles/responsibilities.

  • Monitor risk metrics and performance indicators, producing regular reporting

    and deep dives as needed.

  • Support readiness for internal and external reviews, and drive proactive

    remediation of findings

About You:

  • 5+ years of experience in operational risk, controls, or operations

    management roles in financial services or fintech.

  • Able to take a pragmatic and commercially minded view of risk, ensuring a

    well-functioning risk controlled operation that delivers against commercial

    priorities

  • Strong working knowledge of Line 1 vs Line 2 responsibilities and risk

    frameworks (e.g. Risk and Control Self Assessments (RCSA), control testing,

    remediation planning and execution).

  • Hands-on experience improving or redesigning operational processes in a

    regulated environment.

  • You are naturally fluent in using AI and digital tools to streamline

    documentation, accelerate control testing, enhance operational process

    design, and generate actionable insights for monitoring and reporting

  • Analytical and detail-oriented, with a pragmatic approach to embedding

    controls into day-to-day workflows.

  • Able to collaborate across the end-to-end sales finance value chain including

    enablement teams influence without authority and drive collective outcomes.
