• Develop, implement and embed policies, frameworks, procedures and operational guidelines that support consistent, compliant remediation & complaint practices across the business
• Embed new ways of working by identifying capability gaps, developing practical guidance and training materials, and partnering with Learning teams to support adoption
• Define success measures, track delivery milestones and benefits realisation, and report progress, risks and outcomes to senior leaders and governance forums
• Lead stakeholder engagement, impact assessments, communications and adoption activities so improvements are implemented effectively and sustained in day‑to‑day operations
• Use remediation insights, complaint trends and root‑cause analysis to prioritise and deliver improvements that address recurring issues and reduce inefficiencies

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years’ experience within financial services, superannuation, banking, or insurance
• Demonstrated experience in remediation or complaints within a regulated environment, with, risk or governance experience also valuable
• Proven track record personally leading continuous improvement or transformation initiatives through to implementation, adoption and measurable benefits in complex organisations
• Strong understanding of remediation obligations and frameworks, with working knowledge of complaints handling requirements
• Hands‑on experience designing and implementing improvements to processes, procedures, controls, reporting and/or technology within regulated environments
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence senior leaders, coordinate cross‑functional delivery and resolve barriers to implementation
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving capability, with experience translating root‑cause analysis and operational insights into practical solutions and delivered outcomes
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including preparing executive‑level papers and reporting
• A proactive, hands‑on delivery mindset, with accountability for completing initiatives, embedding change and improving customer outcomes
