The CommSec Governance team plays a critical role in helping the business make well-informed decisions; manage risk within appetite; identify and respond to emerging risks; and navigate an increasingly complex regulatory environment.

• Lead governance activities supporting senior executive forums and committees, including development of governance artefacts (including Committee papers), reporting and insights that support effective decision-making and transparency of risk outcomes.

• Lead consultation and implementation on Regulatory change and Group Policy/ Frameworks with internal stakeholders, including L2 Compliance.

• Respond to CommSec Law Enforcement Agency (LEA) requests, including ASIC Notices, Subpoenas, Requests for Information (RFIs).

• Support the ongoing management of CommSec's licensing obligations, helping ensure regulatory requirements are understood, implemented and effectively managed across the business.

• Demonstrated experience in risk management, governance, or compliance within a regulated industry. Previous experience in senior executive level governance (including Board support) highly regarded.

• Strong understanding of governance frameworks, operational risk management, controls, issues and incidents management, and regulatory obligations.
