About The Role
The Risk and Compliance Analyst will contribute to managing risk and compliance across DIT in collaboration with the DIT leadership team. This will involve leading DIT's risk and compliance annual program of work, regular reporting and providing ongoing support and guidance to the DIT leadership team to enable the team to deliver services that meet the risk appetite of the organisation and within compliance to all requirements.
The Risk and Compliance Analyst will advise and consult with stakeholders on compliance matters as well as schedule, perform and report on compliance and risk reviews. The position will work closely with other parts of Council to align DIT's risk and compliance outcomes with that of Council's.
About You
Candidates should possess substantial knowledge of customer service principles within an IT environment, maintain current awareness of relevant IT risk and compliance trends, and have proven experience developing and implementing DIT risk and compliance frameworks, audit programs, and policy governance. Strong capability in mentoring and influencing organisational risk culture is essential, along with experience managing DIT projects using a risk based approach and ensuring alignment with governance and compliance requirements. A background in policy development, training, and education programs for DIT risk and compliance is also required, as is familiarity with information management principles and spatial data systems.
You would need to demonstrate advanced analytical skills, including the ability to gather data from diverse sources and provide clear, actionable insights on compliance and risk exposures. A thorough understanding—or the ability to quickly acquire knowledge—of Council's structure, services, functions, and relevant regulatory and statutory requirements relating to DIT is important. Substantial knowledge of legislation governing Local Government operations, highly developed interpersonal and communication skills, strong negotiation and facilitation abilities, and creative problem‐solving in complex environments are all key attributes. A strong ethical approach and commitment to maintaining confidentiality are essential.
Professional certifications such as CISA, CRISC, CISM, or ISO 27001 Lead Implementer/Auditor are highly desirable, supported by a minimum of five years' experience in ICT risk, compliance, or governance roles.
