Operational Risk Senior Analyst / Manager, Asset Management

Play a key role in strengthening how risk is understood and managed across a global asset management business. Join the Risk Management Group and help shape a proactive, forward-looking operational risk culture that enables confident decision-making in a dynamic environment.

We are a global financial services group operating in 30 markets with 57 years of unbroken profitability. At Macquarie, you’re empowered to shape a career that is fulfilling and creates value. You will bring your insights and expertise to the task at hand and feel supported as you make your own kind of impact for a better future.

What role will you play?

You will provide independent operational risk oversight and constructive challenge across the Macquarie Asset Management business, partnering closely with business stakeholders and first line risk teams to ensure risks are identified, assessed and effectively managed. You will support the implementation and evolution of the operational risk management framework, review risk assessments, incidents and change initiatives, and provide insightful reporting that informs decision-making. Working with a diverse set of stakeholders across locations and levels of seniority, you will contribute to risk deep-dives, projects and broader non-financial risk initiatives, helping to drive a strong, embedded risk culture through advisory, analysis and collaboration. While Macquarie offers hybrid working for many of our roles, this role does require three days a week in our advertised location.

3-6 years’ experience in operational risk, audit or a related non-financial risk discipline within a financial services or professional services environment

Understanding of operational risk frameworks and tools such as risk and control self-assessments and scenario analysis, with the ability to apply these in practice
