Executive Manager, Technology Audit

Executive Manager – Technology Audit

“At CommBank we are proud to support flexibility – let’s discuss what this means for you.”

The Commonwealth Bank of Australia (Bank) is Australia’s leading provider of integrated financial services. We are committed to continuously strengthening our governance, risk and control environment to support our customers, communities and people.

Group Audit & Assurance (GA&A) is the Bank’s internal audit function. Our purpose is to provide independent and objective assurance over the effectiveness of the Group’s risk management, control and governance processes. As GA&A continues to evolve, we are focused on delivering deeper insights, enhancing reporting quality, and leveraging technology‑enabled assurance to support better risk and business outcomes.

See yourself in our team

The Technology & Cyber Audit team provides assurance over the technology environments that underpin the Bank’s operations and customer experience. This includes platforms, applications, delivery practices, data, cyber security, and emerging technologies across the Group.

As technology continues to rapidly evolve, so do the risks associated with how systems are designed, deployed, governed, operated and secured. We are seeking an experienced technology leader who brings a broad understanding of technology and technology risk, and who can provide assurance, insight and challenge across a complex, large‑scale enterprise environment.

This role is suited to leaders from technology, engineering, delivery, architecture, cyber, risk or assurance backgrounds who have experience assessing risk, controls and outcomes—whether through audit, risk management, or control roles.

Do work that matters

As Executive Manager, Technology & Cyber Audit, you will provide strategic leadership and independent assurance across a wide range of technology domains and risks. You will partner closely with senior stakeholders across Group Technology and the broader Bank to support confident decision‑making.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading the planning and delivery of audits and assurance engagements across diverse technology areas, including platforms, cloud, software delivery, data, AI, cyber security, and third‑party technology.
• Assessing the effectiveness of technology risk management practices, governance frameworks, and control environments.
• Providing clear, practical insights on technology risks, control maturity, and opportunities to strengthen resilience and performance.
• Communicating complex technology and risk matters clearly to senior leaders and executives, both verbally and in written reports.
• Overseeing the monitoring of agreed actions and supporting sustainable issue resolution.
• Staying informed on emerging technologies, industry trends, and associated risks, and evolving assurance approaches accordingly.
• Contributing to the continuous improvement of GA&A’s methodologies, reporting and use of technology in assurance.
• Building strong relationships across the Group; collaboration, influence and stakeholder engagement are critical to success in this role.
• Supporting the effective operation of the Technology Audit portfolio while contributing to long‑term value creation for the Bank.

We’re interested in hearing from people who have

• Broad technology experience across multiple domains (rather than deep specialisation in one area), gained within complex, regulated or large‑scale environments.
• Audit, risk or control experience within technology—this may come from internal audit, technology risk, operational risk, control assurance, or similar roles.
• Strong technology risk judgement, with the ability to identify, assess and articulate risks associated with how technology is designed, delivered, operated and governed.
• Leadership capability, including experience leading teams, influencing senior stakeholders, and creating an inclusive and high‑performance environment.
• Analytical and critical thinking skills, with the ability to connect technical detail to business and risk outcomes.
• Clear communication skills, translating complex technology concepts into practical, executive‑level insights.
• Adaptability and learning agility, with the ability to quickly build understanding across emerging technologies such as cloud, data, AI and cyber security.
• A collaborative mindset and commitment to continuous improvement in assurance practices.
