You may have been part of some big projects before, but this work is legacy-building.

You are an experienced assurance, audit or risk professional with the ability to translate regulatory requirements into practical assurance activities and compliance outcomes.

You will bring:

• Experience in assurance, audit, risk management or regulatory compliance.
• Strong capability in developing and applying risk-based assurance frameworks.
• Experience identifying compliance risks and delivering targeted audit and education programs.
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to interpret assurance, compliance and performance data.
