Job description

Here at ASB, the customer is at the heart of everything we do. Recognised as one of New Zealand's leading financial organisations, with a united and talented workforce, we are continuously evolving against a backdrop of rapidly changing customer needs, regulations and technologies.

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Senior Manager Risk Capability & Change to join our Risk Capability & Change team and help deliver and embed meaningful non-financial risk change across ASB.

This isn’t a traditional change management role. You’ll bring together change delivery, communication and capability expertise to translate risk requirements into practical, sustainable outcomes.

Working across Line 1 and Line 2 Risk, you’ll partner with sponsors, senior leaders and key stakeholders to understand change impacts, shape decisions and support the successful implementation and adoption of non-financial risk change. You’ll also play an important role in building risk capability, literacy and confidence through targeted learning, facilitation, coaching and knowledge sharing.

Ngā mea kia whai angitū ahau? | What do I need to be successful?

We’re looking for someone who can confidently move between change delivery and capability work as priorities evolve. You’ll be comfortable working at both a strategic and practical level, from influencing senior stakeholders and shaping an approach through to preparing communications, running activities and creating engaging learning materials.

You’ll bring:

• Strong experience developing change strategies and delivering change initiatives end to end.
• A sound understanding of change management fundamentals, methodologies and tools.
• The ability to translate complex risk requirements into practical change, communication and capability outcomes.
• An understanding of non-financial risk and the role effective risk management plays within an organisation.
• Experience supporting business readiness, adoption and the sustainable embedding of change.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to create clear, engaging communications and learning materials.
• Confidence facilitating activities, workshops or learning sessions with a range of audiences.
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills, including experience working with senior leaders.
• The ability to create storyboards and shape learning or capability content.
• A collaborative and adaptable approach, with the confidence to shift between different priorities and types of work.
• Experience coaching, mentoring or supporting others through change.

He aha tā mātou | What can we offer?

• Get the work-life equation right. We know life is full of priorities, from football practice to side hobbies. We're here to help you find balance, with a flexible and supportive working environment.
• What’s important to you is important to us. We support your wellbeing in meaningful ways, including comprehensive health insurance, wellness initiatives, parental and flexible leave, and customisable benefits to suit your lifestyle.
• Bring your whole self to work every day. Whether you’re into scrapbooking, spontaneous karaoke sessions, or just spending time with family, ASB is working hard to create a culture where everyone feels safe, included, and part of our shared purpose of helping Kiwis get one step ahead.
• The whole “one step ahead” thing applies to you, too. With mentorship, flexible learning pathways, and opportunities to deepen your expertise, ASB is a place where you can take on exciting challenges and step forward to reach your goals, both in and out of the office.

To serve a diverse community, we need a diverse organisation. We encourage applicants from allbackgrounds who bring unique perspectives and thinking styles that add to the culture and performance of our team.
