This role can be based in either Melbourne or Canberra. Working with experienced risk professionals and stakeholders across Scyne, including Corporate Services, Client Risk & Quality and other business teams, you will gain practical exposure to enterprise risk, ethics, compliance, ESG, business continuity, crisis preparedness and assurance. You will receive direction, coaching and feedback as you build your technical and professional capability. What You Will Do With guidance, support the maintenance and refresh of enterprise risk documentation, risk profiles, risk appetite statements and tolerance measures. Assist experienced team members with risk, compliance and assurance monitoring, including tracking actions, controls, treatments and agreed management responses. Help prepare accurate reports, presentations, committee papers and communications, applying Scyne templates, policies and brand guidelines.
