Lead Analyst, Project Risk – 65MP Project

• 2 Year Fixed Term Contract

• Location: Chifley Square, Sydney CBD

• Hybrid Role - 50% Office/Home

About the Team

Join the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) in a pivotal Line 2 risk role supporting one of the most significant property redevelopment projects in the Bank’s history. The 65 Martin Place (65MP) project will transform our iconic headquarters into a modern, resilient, and sustainable workplace for decades to come. This role offers a unique opportunity to provide independent oversight and challenge, ensuring robust risk management practices are embedded throughout the project lifecycle and aligned with enterprise risk expectations. 

This is a career‑defining opportunity to work on a flagship program with strong senior stakeholder visibility, access to hybrid/flexible working and a collaborative, focused environment where independent challenge is valued and supported.

About the Role

As a Lead Analyst, Project Risk & Assurance for the 65MP program, you will:

• Provide independent Line 2 oversight of project and program risk for a complex capital works program—challenging Line 1 where needed and ensuring alignment to enterprise frameworks and risk appetite.

• Lead and contribute to thematic reviews, deep dives and assurance activities focused on delivery and delivered risks, governance effectiveness, and control design/operating effectiveness across all phases (demolition, design, construction, commissioning).

• Partner with Line 1 and delivery partners to uplift risk capability, embed best‑practice risk management in construction and change delivery, and ensure clear accountability for treatments.

• Monitor emerging risks (e.g., WHS, cost/schedule/quality, contractor & supply chain, design/integration, regulatory/compliance, environment/community, site/heritage) and escalate through appropriate governance forums.

• Prepare high‑quality insights and reporting for senior governance forums (ExCo, Audit Committee, Steering Committee), translating complex project risk data into clear enterprise‑level narratives.

• Assure the transition of delivered/retained risks at practical completion into BAU operational risk oversight.

About You

• 7+ years’ experience in risk management, internal audit, project assurance or a related field, preferably within banking, financial services, or large-scale property development projects.

• Strong understanding of project/program delivery frameworks and capital works governance, with the ability to identify, assess and challenge both delivery and delivered risks.

• Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills, with the confidence to influence senior leaders while maintaining independence.

• A collaborative mindset and a passion for uplifting risk maturity in complex, multi‑party environments.

• Familiarity with major works contracting, contractor/supplier risk, WHS considerations and design assurance; bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Business or related field highly desirable 

• Professional certifications in risk management (e.g., ISO 31000, PMI-RMP) desirable
