We’re seeking a hands-on Risk Enablement Manager to turn frameworks into practical, value-adding solutions across our growing, listed financial services organisation. Reporting to the Head of Risk, you’ll work at the centre of the business to strengthen controls, uplift risk maturity and deliver meaningful, measurable outcomes.

Here’s how you will make a difference in this role… 

This is a delivery-focused role for a true risk practitioner — someone who enjoys building tools, running workshops, configuring systems (Protecht), analysing data and driving initiatives from concept through to execution.

To be considered for this role you will have: 

  • 5+ years’ experience in enterprise or operational risk within financial services or a regulated environment
  • Strong RCSA, incident management and control design capability
  • Experience with GRC systems (Protecht preferred but not essential)
  • Executive-level communication skills
  • A practical, delivery-oriented mindset with confidence to challenge constructively

What we can offer you:

  • Novated leasing benefits and discounts

  • 12 weeks paid parental leave and access to our Parents Portal
