Job description

Job Category : Banking and Financial Services

Through the merger of Bank Australia and Qudos Bank we’re creating a better, stronger and more resilient bank for our customers and employees. As one company with two trusted brands, we’re building on the strong foundations of our history and shared values as we bring together the best of both banks.

We are looking for a Head of Financial Risk to join our Enterprise Risk Team. In this pivotal leadership role, you will be responsible for overseeing financial risk across Treasury, Finance, Lending, and Collections. In addition to the risk strategy, ensuring robust governance and supporting sustainable financial performance.

This role can be based out of the Head Office in Sydney (Mascot) or Melbourne (Collingwood).

  • We have big plans to become Australia’s leading purpose-driven bank.
  • As a certified B Corp, we’re part of a global business community who meet the highest social and environmental standards, balancing profit and purpose.
  • Every role and person in our bank are essential to bringing our values, purpose and aspiration to life.
  • We offer flexible working options, competitive salary and 13% super.
  • Our staff have access to a range of meaningful benefits to support their physical and mental wellbeing including 24 / 7 free counselling, free flu vaccinations and discounted gym memberships.
  • We also support staff with study assistance, paid parental leave (regardless of gender), volunteer, bereavement, gender affirmation and family violence leave; and the opportunity for bonus annual leave.
  • We support our staff to grow their careers through learning and development and an organisational culture where we reward and recognise innovation and values, not long hours.
  • We are committed to building an inclusive culture and a diverse workforce that reflects the Australian community.
  • We care for a conservation reserve – where we work with key partner organisations to protect threatened species and involve staff in conservation.

What you will be doing

  • Lead oversight of financial risks including interest rate, capital, liquidity, and market risks across Treasury and Finance functions.
  • Manage the credit risk framework across retail, commercial, impact, and wholesale portfolios, ensuring regulatory compliance and robust governance.
  • Drive enterprise-wide stress testing and risk modelling for liquidity, credit, and capital in alignment with ICAAP.
  • Provide independent assurance and reporting to executive and Board levels on financial and credit risk matters.
  • Collaborate with internal stakeholders to ensure risk frameworks, controls, and compliance obligations are effectively implemented and monitored.
  • Contribute to strategic decision-making through economic risk insights, policy development, and participation in key committees (ALCO, Credit, Risk).
  • What you will bring

  • Proven leadership in financial risk, treasury, and credit risk management.
  • Deep understanding of balance sheet management, capital, liquidity and IRRBB.
  • Exceptional analytical, reporting and presentation capabilities.
  • Ability to lead change and drive strategic outcomes.
  • Commitment to Bank Australia’s purpose, aspiration, values and brand as well as the B Corp ethos.
  • By submitting an application you agree to Bank Australia’s Privacy Policy for applicants and confirm that you are legally able to work in Australia. Bank Australia is an equal opportunity employer committed to sustainable development. We encourage people from different backgrounds to apply, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people from different cultural backgrounds and people with disabilities because we want to reflect the diversity of our communities. We are committed to making reasonable adjustments to provide a positive, barrier-free recruitment process and supportive workplace.

    Bank Australia reserves the right to withdraw this advertisement at any time. Candidates will be progressed as applications are received, rather than after the advertisement closure date. If you wish to be considered, please submit your application as soon as possible. Please note, the successful candidate will be subject to satisfactory background checks including but not limited to police and previous employment.
