Job description

Your opportunity

Ready to influence how risk shapes business decisions across a complex, highly regulated organisation? As Risk Partner at Tabcorp, you’ll help leaders navigate change, make informed decisions and strengthen how risk is managed in everyday operations.

It’s an opportunity to bring practical advice and constructive challenge to decisions that matter, building a culture where risk ownership and accountability are part of how business gets done.

Your role

Reporting to the Senior Manager, Risk Advisory, you’ll be a trusted adviser to senior leaders across your portfolio, connecting enterprise risk strategy with operational delivery. You’ll work closely with teams to understand their priorities, identify where risks could arise and find practical ways to manage them. From assessing business change to addressing control weaknesses, you’ll help turn risk insights into action and build teams’ confidence to manage risk effectively.

This will include:

• Partnering with leaders to embed risk and compliance practices into business planning and everyday operations.
• Leading risk assessments across strategic initiatives and business change.
• Reviewing significant risk events to identify root causes and practical improvement opportunities.
• Strengthening business ownership of risk registers, controls and action plans.
• Preparing clear risk insights and recommendations for senior stakeholders and governance forums.
• Coaching Risk Advisors and building risk capability across teams.

What You’ll Need To Succeed

You understand how to make risk advice useful to the business—bringing sound judgement, commercial awareness and practical solutions to complex challenges. You build credibility quickly, ask the right questions and have the confidence to challenge constructively. You’ll also bring:

• Experience in enterprise risk, compliance or internal audit.
• Demonstrated ability to build trusted relationships and influence senior stakeholders.
• Strong risk analysis and practical problem-solving skills.
• The ability to translate complex risks into clear business insights and recommendations.
• Experience driving change, continuous improvement and stronger governance.
• A relevant tertiary qualification in business or a related discipline.

What’s In It For You

You’ll broaden your business exposure, work closely with senior leaders and help shape decisions while they’re still being made. With scope to influence business outcomes and strengthen risk capability, you’ll see your advice put into practice and build your experience across a business spanning wagering, media, technology and retail.

We also know that when we belong, we thrive. That’s why we offer:

• Time for moments that matter—from birthdays to cultural leave, flexible public holidays and five days of bonus leave.
• 18 weeks’ paid parental leave for every new parent, no matter your role.
• Ticketing to some of the country’s biggest racing and sporting events.
• Access to wellbeing programs and our leading wellbeing app.
• Corporate discounts and special offers with leading retailers.
• A diverse and inclusive culture where everyone belongs.
