Manager, Risk and Control Advisory
We are seeking a talented individual to join our Risk and Control Advisory team at Mercer Super. This role can be based either in our Sydney or Melbourne office. This is a hybrid role that has a requirement of working at least three days a week in the office.
At Mercer Super, we're building a safer, smarter, stronger future — for our members, our colleagues, our business partners, and each other. In a world of constant change, risk and compliance are essential. They give us the confidence, control, and clarity to act — and to keep doing the right thing. With strong foundations in place, we're focused on growing capability, lifting capacity, and creating a future-ready ecosystem where our colleagues feel supported to step up and speak up. We don't settle for good enough — we ask what better looks like, every day.
If you're driven by purpose and ready to make an impact, this is your moment.
You'll join a team with momentum, humility, and a deep belief that better decisions start with great people.
We're looking for those who care about doing what's right — for our members, our business, and one another — and who want to help shape the next chapter of superannuation in Australia.
We will count on you to:
* Support the execution of Line 1 risk and control activities, ensuring effective risk management practices are embedded across the organisation.
* Document, design, implement, and monitor internal controls to ensure regulatory compliance and mitigate operational risks.
* Coordinate the program to test the design and operating effectiveness of key controls, providing pragmatic recommendations to strengthen the control environment.
* Facilitate workshops and conduct Risk and Control Self-Assessments (RCSAs) to promote a culture of risk awareness and compliance.
* Collaborate with Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to ensure effective implementation and monitoring of risk and control processes.
* Provide ongoing advice and coaching to risk and control owners to embed strong risk practices and culture.
What you need to have:
* Proven experience in risk management, compliance, and control advisory within the superannuation and broader financial services industries.
* A comprehensive understanding of superannuation business activities, products, and associated regulations, including APRA guidance.
* 3-5+ years of experience in a similar role with a proven track record in risk advisory and compliance.
* Strong critical thinking, communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to engage and influence diverse audiences.
What makes you stand out:
* Tertiary qualifications in a business-related discipline (desirable).
* Solid analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to assess information and provide actionable insights.
* A proactive and adaptable approach to work, with a strong commitment to continuous learning and improvement.
* Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines.
Why join our team:
* We help you be your best through professional development opportunities, interesting work, and supportive leaders.
* We foster a vibrant and inclusive culture where you can work with talented colleagues to create new solutions and have an impact for colleagues, clients, and communities.
* Our scale enables us to provide a range of career opportunities, as well as benefits and rewards to enhance your well-being.
