• Monitor regulatory developments, industry trends, competitor activity and regulator expectations to identify emerging compliance considerations.
• Support the implementation of new legislation and regulatory guidance through appropriate systems, processes and internal guidance.
• Partner with stakeholders across the Member Domain to understand business objectives and support informed, risk-based decision-making.
• Provide compliance guidance, education and training to build awareness and capability across the business.
• Coach and support less experienced team members and step in for the Compliance Manager when required.

What You’ll Need:

• Extensive experience in a compliance role within financial services, with strong knowledge of superannuation legislation and regulatory requirements.
• Demonstrated experience reviewing and assessing materials against relevant laws, regulatory guidance and compliance obligations.
• Experience analysing and implementing legislative and regulatory change.
• Strong knowledge of risk and compliance frameworks, supported by strong analytical, critical-thinking and problem-solving skills.
