Job description

I'm partnering with a leading organisation at the heart of Australia's payments ecosystem. This is a unique opportunity to step into a high-profile Compliance Lead position, combining strategic compliance leadership with significant regulatory change delivery.

This isn't a traditional BAU compliance role.

While you'll oversee and continuously improve the compliance framework, monitoring activities, governance, reporting and advisory functions, a major focus of the role will be leading complex regulatory change initiatives and helping the organisation navigate a changing regulatory landscape. You'll play a key role in assessing emerging obligations, driving implementation activity, and partnering with senior stakeholders to ensure regulatory requirements are effectively embedded across the business.

What you'll be doing

• Leading the compliance function and a small team of specialists.
• Driving the ongoing evolution and maturity of the compliance framework.
• Owning the regulatory change process, including assessment, impact analysis and implementation.
• Providing practical compliance advice to senior stakeholders across the organisation.
• Overseeing compliance monitoring, reporting, assurance and issue management activities.
• Supporting major strategic initiatives and regulatory programs, including industry-wide change.
• Building strong relationships with executive stakeholders, regulators and industry participants.
• Delivering meaningful insights through reporting, analytics and compliance intelligence.

What we're looking for

• Extensive compliance leadership experience within a regulated environment.
• Payments experience will be highly regarded.
• Strong understanding of compliance frameworks, governance, assurance and regulatory obligations.
• Demonstrated experience leading regulatory change programs and translating regulatory requirements into practical business outcomes.
• Proven ability to engage and influence senior executives and stakeholders.
• Experience managing and developing compliance teams.
• Background in financial services, banking, payments, or other highly regulated industries.

What you'll get

The opportunity to work in a growing industry for a business that is investing in risk and compliance. You'll work alongside a high-calibre leadership team that thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and values practical, commercially minded risk and compliance advice. You'll also inherit a small but capable team that's looking for an engaging leader who can develop their capability.
