As well as a flexible and fun workplace, we offer competitive benefits including additional leave entitlements, personal & professional development and health & wellbeing programs.

The Role
We’re looking for an accomplished Risk Manager to lead our business units in the identification and management of risk and ensure delivery of Line 1 Risk and Compliance activities, with a key focus on the integration and uplift of CPS 230 activities – risk management, business continuity and service provider management.

What you’ll do:

• Enhance operational risk processes, controls and frameworks to enable the business to continually meet the requirements of CPS 230.
• Contribute to existing governance arrangements of operational risk between the Board, management and L1 risk, to ensure end-to-end responsibility for operational risk is embedded throughout the fund.
• Improve and update business continuity plans including identifying critical operations through the CPS 230 lens, ensuring appropriate tolerance levels are achievable, and are tested through plausible and effective scenarios.
• Improve business maturity and capability of service provider performance in alignment with the Fund’s Service Provider Management Policy and APRA Prudential Standard CPS 230, and to manage BAU Line 1 Risk activity to support the fund’s operational resilience.
• Act as the first line of defence for risk supporting a strong risk and control environment and risk-aware culture.
• Work closely with Line 2 Risk & Compliance to ensure accurate and timely reporting and escalation of operational risks.

About you
A seasoned Risk professional ideally with a background in Superannuation or other APRA regulated environments, you will bring the following key skills:

• A solid understanding of regulatory guidance, including CPS 230, SPS220, and CPS 234, as well as understanding of best practice risk management processes to support Line 1 business functions.
• Experience in providing expert risk and compliance advice, while being able to deal with a range of priorities and stakeholders.
• Experience in facilitating risk assessments (delivery and delivered), executing control testing, policy reviews, and other strategic/regulatory reviews.
• Excellent Stakeholder Management skills with ability to partner with diverse business areas to support the management of key business risks.
• Self-driven with the ability to manage competing priorities, and find and recommend solutions.

The following skills are nice to have but not essential:

• Change Management and experience through a risk lens: understanding of how to ensure a change is implemented and embedded, including the identification and management of risks.
• Use of AI to improve efficiency across work activity.
• Knowledge or experience of implementation of continuous improvement programs and process solutions.

If you bring a growth mindset and curious nature to identify and solve complex risk and compliance issues with a passion for taking others on the risk journey, we would love to hear from you.

We are a super fund that has an exceptional work culture, provides a diverse offering in developing our people and you can be a part of it while earning an attractive remuneration package!
