Join our dynamic and highly motivated team of experienced risk professionals, where you’ll have the opportunity to foster a strong risk culture, drive innovation and make a tangible impact. With global exposure across regions including the UK, US, Asia and Sydney, you’ll engage with diverse teams and stakeholders while contributing to the assurance function, shaping the future of Technology Risk.

While Macquarie offers hybrid working for many of our roles, this role does require 3 days a week in our office location.

As a key member of the team, you’ll take ownership of assurance and control testing activities, including conducting walkthroughs, preparing insightful reports, and engaging with senior stakeholders. Beyond testing, you’ll proactively identify operational issues and control breakdowns, offering strategic advice to address challenges and prevent future occurrences. By leading risk incident investigations, you’ll uncover root causes and deliver robust solutions, all while embedding a proactive risk culture. You will also have the opportunity to contribute to continuous improvement initiatives and support strategic projects that address evolving business needs.

What You Offer

• Strong expertise in technology risk or cyber risk management, assurance or audit, ideally within financial services or professional services
• Specialised knowledge in managing risks related to trading platforms, market data systems and other specialised technologies is an advantage
