The Senior Risk Assurance Specialist supports ANZ’s risk management framework by assessing whether key controls are appropriately designed, operating effectively and aligned with regulatory obligations. Requirements typically include substantial experience in risk assurance, internal controls, audit, compliance or operational risk, preferably within banking or financial services. Candidates should understand risk frameworks, control testing, issue evaluation and risk reporting, and be able to interpret policies and regulatory requirements. Strong analytical, communication, stakeholder-management and report-writing skills are expected. The role suits someone who can work independently, challenge constructively, manage assurance activities and translate complex findings into practical improvements for business and risk leaders.

Australia offers strong opportunities in banking, risk, compliance, technology, healthcare, engineering, education, construction and skilled trades, especially in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. Workplace culture is generally practical, relatively informal and focused on collaboration, accountability and work-life balance. Lifestyle varies from busy metropolitan living to relaxed coastal and regional communities, with excellent beaches, national parks, sport and outdoor activities. Living costs are high in Sydney and Melbourne, particularly for housing, while other cities can be more affordable. Skilled professionals may explore employer sponsorship, the Skilled Independent visa, state-nominated pathways or temporary graduate options, depending on eligibility. Relocation usually requires skills assessment, English-language evidence, health and character checks, and an appropriate visa. New arrivals should budget for rent, transport, healthcare and initial settlement costs, and confirm current requirements through Australia’s Department of Home Affairs.
