About the Role:

This is a senior, standalone risk function responsible for protecting the organisation's financial, operational and strategic resilience. You will design, operate and continuously improve the enterprise risk, insurance and assurance frameworks across a complex, asset-intensive business. The role sits at the intersection of risk management, corporate insurance and internal audit, and carries direct exposure to the Executive Committee and Risk and Audit Committee (RAC). There are no direct reports — this is an owner/operator role requiring broad capability and genuine independence.

Key Responsibilities:

Risk Management

• Own and maintain the Group Risk Management Framework aligned to the organisation's approved risk appetite
• Lead identification, assessment and prioritisation of strategic, financial, operational, safety, cyber and regulatory risks
• Maintain and circulate risk registers across all business units, ensuring regular review by risk owners and the Executive Committee prior to each RAC meeting
• Support business leaders in developing and monitoring effective risk mitigation plans
• Present to the Risk and Audit Committee on strategic, operational and financial risks
• Drive continuous improvement of risk management practices and systems across the group
• Ensure all relevant employees and Directors receive adequate training on the Risk Management Framework

Audit Management

• Develop and maintain the annual Internal Audit Plan for RAC endorsement and approval
• Manage engagement and delivery of outsourced internal audit providers
• Own the Audit Management system — input of audit reports, corrective actions, and active monitoring of remediation closure

Business Continuity Management

• Guide development and maintenance of BCM systems across the business
• Ensure BCM plans are regularly reviewed, exercised and updated in line with business growth and regulatory change

Insurance

• Design and manage the corporate insurance program across all entities
• Lead annual insurance renewals and broker negotiations
• Ensure coverage is optimised and aligned to identified strategic and operational risk and risk appetite
• Ensure insurance review documentation for each site is collated and lodged by due date

Stakeholder Engagement & Continuous Improvement

• Build and maintain strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders including Board members, contractors and consultants
• Provide input on risk management for projects and monitor risks across the full project lifecycle
• Promote innovation and continuous improvement across risk and assurance practices

WHS, Environmental & Aviation Safety

• Comply with all WHS obligations and relevant legislative requirements
• Adhere to the organisation's Environmental Management System and aviation safety and security requirements

What You Need to Be Successful:

Experience

• 10+ years in risk, insurance, audit, governance or financial control roles
• Demonstrated experience operating a formal enterprise risk framework in a complex organisation
• Proven capability in developing and maintaining risk registers and risk appetite frameworks
• Experience facilitating executive and Board-level risk discussions
• Hands-on experience managing corporate insurance programs, leading annual renewals and broker negotiations
• Demonstrated experience managing outsourced internal audit providers and developing risk-based audit plans
• Background in infrastructure, transport, aviation, energy, utilities or a similarly regulated, asset-intensive industry strongly preferred

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Risk Management, Finance, Accounting, Law, Engineering, Commerce or a related discipline
• Postgraduate qualification in risk or finance desirable

Skills & Attributes

• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to present confidently to executive and Board audiences
• Sound problem-solving and decision-making capability
• High attention to detail with the ability to manage a complex, high-volume workload to deadline
• Ability to work effectively across all levels of the business
• Demonstrated ability to develop and implement strategy in a dynamic, regulated environment
