About this role

In this role, you'll support the Compliance and Governance business unit to deliver an effective, risk-based compliance and governance program across nib Group.

You'll work flexibly across our Business Partnering, Regulatory Compliance, and Conduct and Compliance teams as priorities require, giving you broad exposure across nib's compliance program. You'll provide practical compliance advice, oversee regulatory obligations, monitoring and assurance, and manage incidents and breaches. You'll also support nib's conduct, fraud and financial crime risk, governance and reporting frameworks.

You'll help the business understand and meet its regulatory obligations, deliver good customer outcomes and maintain a positive risk and compliance culture.  

About you

You’ll also have practical experience providing compliance advice, monitoring and assurance, along with managing incidents and breaches. You’ll be confident interpreting regulatory requirements and translating them into clear, practical guidance for the business.

You’ll bring:

• Tertiary qualification in law, commerce, business, risk management or a related discipline
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including preparing clear reports, papers and regulator correspondence
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence and constructively challenge at all levels

It would be great if you also have:

• Postgraduate qualification or professional certification in governance, risk or compliance (e.g. GRC Institute or Governance Institute of Australia)
• Experience in private health insurance or another APRA-regulated entity
• Experience with FAR, conduct risk frameworks, whistleblowing or policy governance
• Experience in fraud and financial crime risk management, including sanctions, AML/CTF and internal or external fraud
