* Conduct root cause analysis for incidents and near misses, working with business units to validate findings and support timely remediation.
* Maintain and enhance risk registers, ensuring emerging risks, controls, and action plans are accurately captured, assessed, and regularly updated.
* Support improvements to risk documentation, governance processes, and the consistency of emerging risk reporting.
* Prepare clear, high‐quality risk and incident reports for managers and senior leaders, highlighting emerging themes, control gaps, and potential future impacts.
* Perform control testing and contribute to scenario analysis, escalating uncertainties or weaknesses in control effectiveness.
* Support initiatives that strengthen risk culture, including training activities, awareness sessions, and cross‐functional collaboration.
* Assist with enhancements to the Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) platform, including configuration updates, testing, data quality checks, and user support.
* Contribute to risk reporting activities including committee papers.
* Contribute to risk and compliance projects, particularly those involving emerging risk analysis, data insights, process mapping, system updates, and regulatory change activities.
Specific duties, deliverables and reporting lines may vary from time to time depending on business needs and priorities. Key objectives and measurements will be captured in the Performance & Development planning cycle, established annually and adapted as needed
What we're looking for
* A relevant undergraduate qualification (commerce, economics, science, engineering, accounting, law, arts or similar).
* Postgraduate study in risk, audit, governance or financial services (advantageous).
* Up to 2 years' experience in risk, audit or a related role, ideally within financial services or a technology environment.
* Exposure to operational, data or cyber risk, with an interest in building capability across these areas.
* Experience supporting business continuity, scenario testing, incident response or fraud analysis (desirable but not essential).
* Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret data, identify trends and contribute to practical risk insights.
* Confidence engaging with stakeholders across different levels, building knowledge quickly and working collaboratively to support sound risk outcomes.
