• Build strong relationships across Line 1 and Risk stakeholders to support engagement, understanding and adoption.
• Identify implementation risks, challenges and dependencies, escalating issues and recommending solutions where required.
• Contribute to change management, communications and stakeholder engagement activities.
• Support governance forums, program reporting and delivery of key transformation milestones.
• Collaborate with global stakeholders to ensure alignment and consistent implementation outcomes.

What You'll Need

• Hold an accreditation in Risk Management from a recognised body like Risk Management Institute of Australasia (RMIA) or Governance Institute of Australia (GIA) or be willing to obtain one after joining AustralianSuper.  
• Demonstrated ability to understand and translate external regulatory requirements to shape business outcomes 
• Significant experience in Financial Services, preferably within Risk Management, Compliance or related control functions.
• Experience working within Line 1 and/or Line 2 Risk environments.
• Strong understanding of enterprise risk management, operational risk and compliance frameworks.
• Outstanding stakeholder management and influencing skills, with the ability to work effectively across senior leadership groups, including executives, governance forums and senior decision-makers.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to translate complex risk concepts into practical business outcomes.
• Proven ability to operate independently, exercise sound judgement and drive outcomes in complex environments.
• Strong facilitation, problem-solving and implementation skills.

Highly regarded:
