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

How you’ll make an impact

Reporting to the Senior Manager Business Op Risk, this role helps AMP Bank identify, assess, monitor and manage operational risks across Lending and Everyday Banking. The role provides practical First Line risk support and constructive challenge, supports risk-in-change activity, strengthens control design and operating effectiveness, contributes to risk event and issue management, and prepares risk insights and reporting that enable timely escalation and risk-aware decision making.

You’ll make an impact by:

• Risk Assessment & Governance – Lead risk assessments across business processes, projects and change initiatives, ensuring risks are identified, managed and reported in line with risk appetite, policies and governance requirements.
• Risk in Change & Control Design – Partner with value streams and change teams to identify risks early, assess control impacts and embed effective controls into new or enhanced processes, systems and customer journeys.
• Controls, Issues & Continuous Improvement – Conduct control testing, investigate risk events and issues, perform root cause analysis, and drive remediation actions to strengthen the control environment.
• Operational Resilience & Third-Party Risk – Support business continuity, resilience testing and CPS 230 obligations, while overseeing risk assessments and control considerations for Material Service Providers.
• Reporting & Risk Insights – Deliver meaningful risk reporting, dashboards and trend analysis to identify emerging risks, control weaknesses and opportunities for proactive risk mitigation.
• Stakeholder Engagement & Risk Culture – Build strong relationships across the Bank, Risk and Change teams, providing risk education, governance support and guidance that promotes a strong risk-aware culture.

What you will bring to the team

• Experience in risk, audit, assurance, controls, compliance or a related role, ideally within banking, financial services or a regulated environment.
• Understanding of risk management practices, including risk assessments, controls, issue management and risk reporting.
• Exposure to risk management systems and frameworks, with experience tracking risks, issues, controls or actions.
• Strong stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to partner, influence and provide practical advice across the business.
• A customer-focused mindset, strong organisational skills and an interest in operational resilience and regulatory requirements, including CPS 230.

You’ll thrive here if…

If you can adapt from BAU to the ambiguous with ease, you’ll do well here. Change is never easy, so bring your commitment, grit and growth mindset.

Because we run lean, you’ll be expected to jump in and deliver across a variety of areas. Meaning, you’ll be closer to the action and executive decisions that influence where we go next.

If you’re someone that can hold their own, you’ll find AMP quite liberating.

Why we think you’ll love working at AMP

Doing what we’ve always done is not an option, so your clever ideas will get airtime here. You’ll be encouraged to speak up and try new things. If they don’t work, we move on – better for it.

We know there’s no one way of doing things. So, you won’t have to sacrifice who you are or how you work to fit in here. We’re inclusive and flexible in many of the ways you’d expect. And in some of the ways you wouldn’t. As long as your health and wellbeing come first - at home and at work.

In fact, most of what makes AMP such a welcoming, enjoyable place to work are our people. Wherever you go, you’ll find moments to connect, feel valued and do meaningful work.

Whether it’s through our first-class leaders who are invested in you and your success. Through year-round opportunities to volunteer, fundraise and give back to the community. Or in the everyday challenges you face as we work together to strengthen this great organisation. Challenges that will stretch you, amplify your potential and compound the impact you have.

We believe in the power of inclusion and diversity

We’re dedicated to fostering inclusion, diversity, and a warm feeling of belonging at AMP. It sparks creativity, ignites innovation, and turns up the dial on the quality of our decisions and performance. This not only makes our workplace more engaged but also leads to better connections with our customers.

We're your allies in the search for the perfect fit - when you apply, let us know how we can support you to put your best self forward during our selection process.

We're also committed to enhancing employment opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, so we enthusiastically encourage candidates from these backgrounds to apply and explore our Reconciliation Plan on our website.

Ready to create your tomorrow?

If you’re someone who sees opportunity where others see challenge, come and work with us in smart, progressive ways as we transform an iconic Australian brand for the future. And, through a series of career-defining moments, create your own tomorrow.
