Risk & Compliance Team Leader

About the Opportunity

As the Risk & Compliance Team Leader, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping RACV’s people risk landscape. You’ll lead key control reviews and ensure that risk and compliance frameworks across our People & Culture (P&C) operations are both robust and effective — empowering RACV to operate confidently within its risk appetite.

In this role, you’ll take ownership of developing and maintaining compliance assurance plans for critical legislative obligations, with a particular focus on pay and entitlements. You’ll provide trusted advice to senior leaders on emerging compliance risks and regulatory changes, helping to guide RACV’s strategic decisions and protect our people and our brand.

Leading by example, you’ll mentor and coach a talented team of risk and compliance professionals, fostering technical excellence and a strong culture of accountability. You’ll also collaborate across functions to deliver high-impact initiatives that strengthen our control environment and embed continuous improvement across RACV.

This is a dynamic role for someone who thrives on challenge, collaboration, and influence. If you’re passionate about building strong compliance foundations, driving meaningful change, and supporting a trusted and resilient organisation, this position will give you the platform to make a real impact.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design, delivery, and oversight of P&C’s annual controls testing program to assess adequacy and effectiveness of key controls.
• Develop, maintain, and monitor compliance obligation plans for high‑risk areas, including employment legislation, National Employment Standards, Modern Awards, and Enterprise Agreements.
• Ensure compliance with P&C policies, procedures, and industrial instruments through regular monitoring, analysis, and reporting.
• Lead cross‑functional teams within and beyond P&C on critical risk and compliance initiatives, provide expert technical guidance, coaching, and ensure consistent application of P&C Risk and Compliance standards.
• Lead continuous improvement initiatives within RACV’s control environment by constructively engaging with control owners to identify and resolve control gaps.
• Provide upward challenge and support to key control owners to improve RACVs control environment post control reviews (through agreed management actions) and through day‑to‑day interactions.
• Collaborate with key stakeholders within P&C and Risk and Legal to govern regulatory changes within P&C and provide reports to the P&C LT and Risk and Legal as required.
• Support the P&C Operations and Compliance Manager to identify emerging risks and to review existing P&C risks and controls in line with RACVs Risk and Control Self‑Assessment process.
• Collaborate within RACV and with external partners to identify best practice approaches to compliance management that can be incorporated into P&C's operations.
