At Lockheed Martin Australia, we're looking for a skilled and forward-thinking Risk Manager to lead and evolve our program and enterprise risk management capability. This is not just a compliance role—it's a strategic, high-impact position at the intersection of governance, innovation, and performance.
Location: Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Newcastle
You'll partner closely with executives, business area leaders, and project teams to embed best-practice risk and opportunity thinking—shaping how we manage uncertainty, seize opportunity, and deliver with excellence.

* Provide governance, guidance, and coaching to Program Manager, IPTs, and developing risk managers on identifying, evaluating, and managing program risks.
* Represent risk and opportunity positions in internal and customer-facing program reviews, and advise and partner with executives, project teams, and customer stakeholders on risk-related decision-making.
* Develop and present program-level dashboards, trends, and risk health metrics that drive insight and action.
* Drive a portfolio view of risk and opportunity performance for LMA Enterprise Operations and each of the Business Areas.
* Engage with Programs and related Business Areas to support bid and proposal activity by embedding risk planning and cost/schedule/technical mitigations into submissions.
* Ensure high-quality risk and opportunity management products and services meet cost, schedule, and technical requirements (AS31000, COSO).
Enterprise Risk Management - Shape and Govern Strategic Risk Thinking
You will be a strategic partner to LMA's executive leadership, ensuring enterprise-level risks are governed effectively, surfaced transparently, and acted upon with rigour.
* Provide Subject Matter Expertise (SME) support to the LMA Director for Program Performance, Quality, and Operations in ERM.
* Coordinate and facilitate ERM Working Groups and the ERM Board, ensuring governance forums are well-prepared and insight-driven.
* Maintain LMA's Enterprise and Board-level Risk and Opportunity Register, ensuring currency, relevance, and strategic alignment.
* Collaborate with business leaders to assess, escalate, and monitor enterprise-wide risks and opportunities, including interdependencies.
* Develop enterprise risk insights to inform business planning, investment, and strategic decision-making.
Capability Building – Enable Risk Maturity and Organisational Confidence
You will lead and uplift the risk management culture, capability, and systems across LMA.
* Maintain and continuously improve the LMA Risk Management Framework, including integration across program and enterprise layers.
* Lead the Risk Management Community of Practice, facilitating knowledge-sharing, coaching, and uplift of practitioner skills.
* Drive adoption of digital risk tools and dashboards (e.g., Active Risk Manager), enabling real-time insights and self-service analytics.
* Conduct targeted training, workshops, and reviews to build capability and consistency in risk practices across functions.
* Support LMA's broader continuous improvement agenda by embedding risk thinking into business processes and innovation initiatives.
* Align tools, templates, and terminology across enterprise and program risk to ensure a consistent experience for users and stakeholders.
About you:
* Extensive experience in Program and the ability to bridge your strategic mindset across Enterprise Risk Management
* Proven leadership in driving governance, insight, and performance across both delivery teams and executive forums.
* Expert knowledge of AS ISO 31000, COSO, and ASDEFCON risk requirements.
