The Team

System Risk sits within the Markets Systems team in ASIC's Markets Group. The Markets Group is responsible for ensuring investors have confidence in Australia's financial markets and that market participants, infrastructure providers and gatekeepers operate with integrity, resilience and transparency. The Markets Group regulates financial markets and participants by closely working with government, industry and internal stakeholders to support market integrity, resilience and transparency.

The Markets Systems team has recently been established to provide a single, system-wide lens across public and private markets, enabling whole-of-ASIC risk coordination, stronger market design outcomes assessed holistically, earlier detection of emerging risks across asset classes and interconnections, and clearer visibility of risk build-up such as leverage and concentration that can inform stress and supervisory responses.

The Role

As an Analyst within System Risk, you will lead and contribute to initiatives that support ASIC's regulatory priorities and the effective operation of Australia's financial markets. Working across a range of complex issues, you will provide analysis and advice to support policy development, regulatory reform, market supervision outcomes and strategic risk priorities.

You will:

Lead regulatory, risk and strategic initiatives and workstreams that support ASIC's regulatory and market supervision priorities.

Analyse complex market, regulatory and operational issues and provide practical advice and recommendations.

Contribute to the development and implementation of policy, law reform and regulatory initiatives.

Build and manage productive relationships with stakeholders across ASIC, government agencies and industry to resolve issues and achieve outcomes.

Assess emerging risks, challenge complex information and apply sound regulatory judgement to support decision-making.

Identify opportunities to improve regulatory outcomes through data, insights, collaboration and continuous improvement.

About You

You will bring significant experience in financial markets, market supervision, surveillance, risk management, compliance or a related regulatory environment. You have a strong understanding of financial market risks and regulatory obligations. You have experience leading and delivering regulatory, surveillance or business initiatives and managing stakeholders to achieve outcomes across complex issues. You are comfortable exercising sound regulatory judgement and delivering practical, risk-based outcomes in an evolving environment.

You are a curious and adaptable thinker with strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills. You can analyse complex issues, identify risks and opportunities, and develop practical solutions that deliver meaningful outcomes. You build credibility and influence through strong stakeholder management, working effectively with stakeholders to navigate complex issues, resolve challenges and achieve outcomes. You are comfortable working independently in a dynamic environment where priorities and emerging issues can change rapidly.
