This is a unique opportunity to shape how Kiwibank governs, assesses and enables successful delivery across major transformation and change initiatives.

You'll lead the evolution of our Delivered Risk Assessment (DRA) methodology, process and supporting tool, helping create a practical, scalable and proportionate approach that supports better decision making across our change portfolio.

Working closely with Transformation, Delivery, Technology and business leaders, you'll help strengthen how risks are understood, decisions are made and change is governed. Drawing on insights from assessments, incidents, control effectiveness and delivery outcomes, you'll identify themes, influence improvements and help leaders navigate complexity with confidence.

Success in this role comes from balancing robust governance with a practical understanding of how change gets delivered. You'll bring structure to ambiguity, influence senior stakeholders and help create an approach that enables progress while managing risk appropriately, turning ideas into sustainable outcomes that deliver lasting value.

Ko tātou tēnei. Kia hāpai i ō pūkenga | This is us. Where your expertise matters.

At Kiwibank, we will help you build on your strengths and develop new skills, but in the meantime, we would love to hear from you if you have some of the following skills and experience:

• Strong understanding of how organisations successfully deliver transformation, technology and business improvement initiatives
• Experience improving processes, frameworks, methodologies or tools that support effective delivery and better decision making
• Experience with Lean Six Sigma, Value Stream Mapping (VSM), continuous improvement or similar disciplines would be highly regarded
• Ability to see the bigger picture, connect the dots across initiatives and identify opportunities, risks and emerging themes
• Strong communication and influencing skills, with the ability to build trusted relationships and drive outcomes across diverse stakeholder groups
• Experience working within banking, financial services or another complex regulated environment
• You're collaborative and approachable, while also being comfortable challenging thinking, influencing senior leaders and driving change when needed
• A talent for bringing clarity, structure and momentum to ambiguous or evolving environments

You do not need to tick every box here to be considered! Above all we are looking for someone who embodies Kiwibank’s purpose and values, (Ngā Kauwaka), and someone who thrives in a vibrant and inclusive work environment.
