A leading financial services organisation is building out its Risk Transformation function and is hiring an Senior Risk Specialist – Change & Transformation. The role is newly created and suits someone who would rather shape how risk is managed than run an existing process.
The organisation is going through significant change. You’ll be the second-line voice across its biggest projects and transformation programs, and you’ll help lift risk maturity across the enterprise.
What You’ll Do
Provide independent second-line review and challenge on project risk assessments, strategic risk assessments, transformation programs and regulatory change
Work with delivery teams (you won’t deliver projects yourself) to help them manage risk well and make change land
Contribute to an enterprise-wide Risk Maturity Uplift program covering frameworks, practices, policies and processes
Design and facilitate training and workshops that build risk capability across the business
Build robust relationships from frontline teams to executives, and influence without direct authority
Drive continuous improvement across risk and change processes
What You’ll Bring
Solid risk management experience, ideally across operational risk, enterprise risk, project risk or regulatory change
Experience supporting change or transformation programs from a risk perspective
A background in a regulated environment. Financial services is preferred, but solid candidates from energy, utilities or other complex regulated organisations will be considered
Sharp critical and conceptual thinking: you step back and ask “does this actually make sense?” rather than just checking whether the process was followed
Confidence to challenge constructively, high emotional intelligence and a practical, common-sense approach
Comfort working through ambiguity in an organisation that is transforming
Exposure to Archer, PPM or project risk frameworks is a plus, but not essential
Why Apply
A newly created role with real scope to shape the function
Highly regarded leadership, a strong culture and genuine mentoring
Adaptable hybrid working (about 2–3 days in the office, no set team day) in Brisbane, Melbourne or Sydney
