Avant Mutual is Australia's largest medical defence organisation, supporting over 90,000 healthcare professionals nationwide. Within our People & Culture (P&C;) function, this is a unique opportunity to be the dedicated partner ensuring our operations are backed by strong, practical risk management.

This is a true Line 1 role sitting directly within the function. We are looking for someone who wants to be more than a custodian of a divisional risk profile - be an architect who will actively shape how risk is managed, ensuring the function balances its commercial and strategic goals with robust controls.

Reporting directly to the Head of Strategy & Risk, People & Culture, you will receive hands-on guidance while enjoying a high-visibility platform that offers genuine progression pathways across the broader Avant Group.

Key Accountabilities

- Risk Architecture: Shape, design, and own the divisional risk profile, ensuring risks are proactively identified, assessed, and maintained within approved appetite.




- Proactive Risk Prevention: Move beyond reactive file-checking to embed "Compliance by Design" into the initial stages of P&C; initiatives, major transformations, and daily workflows.
- Strategic & Lead Metrics: Develop and track forward-looking Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) to predict and mitigate risks before they manifest as lagging incidents.
- Root Cause Transformation: Lead end-to-end incident management by executing deep-dive Root Cause Analyses (RCA) that fix underlying system and process anomalies permanently.
- Framework Optimisation: Translate enterprise operational risk frameworks into highly productive, practical, and simplified workflows that front-line teams can easily adopt.
- Regulatory Governance & CPS 230: Manage compliance activities and operational resilience frameworks to ensure all P&C; regulatory obligations -includin
