Head of Platforms Line 1 Risk, Compliance & Regulatory Policy

If you live in Australia or New Zealand, you’ve likely heard of AMP. But at a time when society is changing, we are too. We’re now a nimbler business with new leadership and thinking. 

For us, these are exciting times. There’s a real potential for big thinkers to help us redefine what financial services could be. And turn our legacy into something even more positive and powerful for the future.

Help people create their tomorrow, while you create yours

We help people with their banking, super, retirement and finances. Through upturns, downturns, recessions, and major life transitions. Every day, we help people see and make more of their financial potential, so that they can create their tomorrow. And we’ve been doing it for over 170 years. 

If we do our job well, we genuinely add to the prosperity of our country and its people. 

How you’ll make an impact

In this role, you will: 

• Lead the Platforms Line 1 Risk, Compliance & Regulatory Policy function and developing team capability.
• Partner with senior business leaders to identify, assess and manage operational, regulatory and compliance risks.
• Drive the effective implementation and ongoing enhancement of risk and compliance frameworks, controls and governance processes.
• Provide strategic advice on regulatory obligations, emerging legislative developments and industry best practice.
• Oversee incident management, remediation programs and risk reporting.
• Build strong relationships with regulators, auditors, trustees and key internal stakeholders.
• Support business continuity and operational resilience activities across the Platforms business.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives that strengthen controls while supporting innovation, client experience and commercial outcomes.

What you will bring to the team

Ideally, you will bring the following experiences to this role: 

• Extensive experience leading risk, compliance or regulatory functions within wealth management, wrap platforms, superannuation or broader financial services.
• Strong knowledge of Australian financial services regulation, including experience engaging with regulators such as ASIC and APRA.
• Proven success partnering with executive leaders and boards to deliver strategic risk outcomes.
• Experience designing, implementing and enhancing operational risk and control frameworks.
• Exceptional leadership capability, with a track record of building, coaching and developing high-performing teams.
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills, with the ability to build credibility across all levels of an organisation.
• Strategic thinking combined with a pragmatic, outcomes-focused approach.
• Excellent communication skills, including experience preparing and presenting board and executive-level reporting

You’ll thrive here if…

If you can adapt from BAU to the ambiguous with ease, you’ll do well here. Change is never easy, so bring your commitment, grit and growth mindset.

Because we run lean, you’ll be expected to jump in and deliver across a variety of areas. Meaning, you’ll be closer to the action and executive decisions that influence where we go next.

If you’re someone that can hold their own, you’ll find AMP quite liberating. 

Why we think you’ll love working at AMP

Doing what we’ve always done is not an option, so your clever ideas will get airtime here. You’ll be encouraged to speak up and try new things. If they don’t work, we move on – better for it.

We know there’s no one way of doing things. So, you won’t have to sacrifice who you are or how you work to fit in here. We’re inclusive and flexible in many of the ways you’d expect. And in some of the ways you wouldn’t. As long as your health and wellbeing come first - at home and at work. 

In fact, most of what makes AMP such a welcoming, enjoyable place to work are our people. Wherever you go, you’ll find moments to connect, feel valued and do meaningful work. 

Whether it’s through our first-class leaders who are invested in you and your success. Through year-round opportunities to volunteer, fundraise and give back to the community. Or in the everyday challenges you face as we work together to strengthen this great organisation. Challenges that will stretch you, amplify your potential and compound the impact you have. 

We believe in the power of inclusion and diversity

We’re dedicated to fostering inclusion, diversity, and a warm feeling of belonging at AMP. It sparks creativity, ignites innovation, and turns up the dial on the quality of our decisions and performance. This not only makes our workplace more engaged, but also leads to better connections with our customers. 

We're your allies in the search for the perfect fit - when you apply, let us know how we can support you to put your best self forward during our selection process. 

We're also committed to enhancing employment opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, so we enthusiastically encourage candidates from these backgrounds to apply and explore our Reconciliation Plan on our website.

Ready to create your tomorrow?

If you’re someone who sees opportunity where others see challenge, come and work with us in smart, progressive ways as we transform an iconic Australian brand for the future. And, through a series of career-defining moments, create your own tomorrow.

Don’t procrastinate! We review applications when we get them, and if we discover the ideal candidate, we may close the role earlier than the advertised close date.

Looking forward to meeting you.
