Risk and Assurance Analyst – Make Risk Work Smarter
This is a role for the curious, the methodical, the ones who ask "what if?" before the rest of the room even sees a problem.
We’re looking for a Risk and Assurance Analyst who thrives in the detail - someone who can map risk, monitor controls, and track compliance with precision and confidence. You’ll be part of a high-trust team that supports critical decision-making, strengthens governance, and ensures we stay sharp, safe, and compliant.
This isn’t just about ticking boxes, it’s about creating clarity, building smarter frameworks, and helping leaders understand risk before it turns into reality.
What you’ll be doing:
- Supporting the design, rollout and continuous improvement of risk and compliance frameworks
- Maintaining and updating risk registers, identifying trends, and providing early warnings where needed
- Assisting with control testing, compliance tracking, and internal audit support
- Helping business units understand and manage their risk obligations and reporting requirements
- Coordinating and contributing to policy development and internal governance processes
- Providing clear, well-researched reports and insights to the Risk and Audit Committee and senior leaders
- Ensuring ongoing alignment with regulatory and legislative requirements across the business
What we’re looking for:
- 2–4 years’ experience in a risk, assurance, or compliance-focused role
- A relevant qualification in risk, finance, economics, business, or similar
- Strong analytical and research skills, you’re good at spotting gaps and making sense of complexity
- High attention to detail and a structured, organised working style
- Proficiency in tools like Excel, PowerPoint, and Word, ideally with experience in risk or audit software
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work confidently across teams
- A collaborative, proactive mindset, someone who brings structure, clarity, and calm to the table
This is a behind-the-scenes role with real influence, helping ensure the organisation runs safely, responsibly, and with integrity. If you get satisfaction from making systems better and risks clearer, this is your kind of challenge.
