If we do our job well, we genuinely add to the prosperity of our country and its people.

Who you are

You are a strategic and commercially minded risk leader with the credibility and executive presence to influence Executive and Board stakeholders, build trusted relationships and provide independent, constructive challenge. You bring exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills and excel at translating complex technology, cyber, data, AI and privacy risks into clear, actionable insights that support informed decision-making and positive customer outcomes.

You combine a forward-looking mindset with sound judgement, identifying emerging risks, underlying drivers and opportunities to strengthen governance, controls, organisational resilience and risk culture.
