Operational Risk & Assurance Manager

About this role

At MyState, we're a growing Australian financial services organisation with ambition, purpose and a genuine focus on our people. As we continue to evolve, we're looking for an experienced risk professional who enjoys partnering with stakeholders, facilitating meaningful conversations and helping businesses make informed decisions.

This is an opportunity to join a collaborative and highly respected Risk team where you'll have the chance to influence across the organisation, build strong relationships and make a tangible impact.

The Opportunity

Reporting to the Senior Manager Enterprise & Operational Risk, you'll play a key role in supporting and strengthening risk management practices across the business.

You'll work closely with leaders and subject matter experts to facilitate risk workshops, support risk assessments, deliver assurance activities and provide practical guidance that helps teams understand and manage risk effectively. You'll also build strong relationships with external stakeholders, including assurance and audit partners, helping ensure a coordinated and proactive approach to risk management.

This role would suit someone who enjoys working with people as much as they enjoy working with frameworks and processes. You'll be confident, engaging stakeholders at all levels, asking the right questions and helping teams navigate complex challenges in a practical way.

What You'll Bring

We're open to candidates from a range of regulated industries. While experience within banking or financial services is advantageous, we're equally interested in professionals from sectors such as insurance, energy, healthcare, government, utilities or other regulated environments.

You'll Bring

• Proven experience in risk management, assurance, operational risk or a related discipline.
• Experience working within a regulated industry.
• Strong stakeholder engagement and relationship management skills.
• Confidence facilitating workshops and guiding group discussions.
• The ability to influence outcomes and provide constructive challenge.
• Experience managing relationships with external stakeholders, auditors or assurance providers.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to translate complex concepts into practical business outcomes.
• A collaborative, positive and solutions-focused approach.

We offer flexibility where role requirements allow, access to learning and development opportunities, employee banking benefits, wellbeing initiatives and a culture where people are trusted to contribute and grow.

Most importantly, you'll be part of a business where your expertise is valued and where you'll have the opportunity to shape how risk is understood and managed across the organisation.
