The Role

This isn't a "check-the-box" compliance role. While we have technical expertise in place, we need a communicator who can "bring people along." You will be the bridge between technical risk data and the broader business, ensuring that assurance activities are practical, timely, and well-understood by everyone from the CEO down.

Key Responsibilities Include:

n

n
- Stakeholder Engagement & Influence: Build a positive culture of risk ownership by developing strong relationships and influencing the implementation of agreed actions.
n
- Assurance Coordination: Manage the day-to-day engagement with outsourced internal audit providers and external auditors (including the ANAO).
n




- Information "Translation": Take complex risk and assurance information and simplify it for diverse audiences, ensuring it is clear and actionable.
n
- Framework Management: Support the operation and continuous improvement of risk, audit, and fraud control frameworks.
n
- Hands-on Delivery: As part of a lean and effective team, you will be responsible for your own administration and must be comfortable managing competing priorities independently.
