  • We support our staff to grow their careers through learning and development and an organisational culture where we reward and recognise innovation and values, not long hours.
  • We are committed to building an inclusive culture and a diverse workforce that reflects the Australian community.
  • We care for a conservation reserve – where we work with key partner organisations to protect threatened species and involve staff in conservation.

What you will be doing

  • Lead oversight of financial risks including interest rate, capital, liquidity, and market risks across Treasury and Finance functions.
  • Manage the credit risk framework across retail, commercial, impact, and wholesale portfolios, ensuring regulatory compliance and robust governance.
  • Drive enterprise-wide stress testing and risk modelling for liquidity, credit, and capital in alignment with ICAAP.
  • Provide independent assurance and reporting to executive and Board levels on financial and credit risk matters.
  • Collaborate with internal stakeholders to ensure risk frameworks, controls, and compliance obligations are effectively implemented and monitored.
  • Contribute to strategic decision-making through economic risk insights, policy development, and participation in key committees (ALCO, Credit, Risk).

What you will bring

  • Proven leadership in financial risk, treasury, and credit risk management.
  • Deep understanding of balance sheet management, capital, liquidity and IRRBB.
  • Exceptional analytical, reporting and presentation capabilities.
  • Ability to lead change and drive strategic outcomes.
