About Us
At ANZ, we're shaping a world where people and communities thrive, driven by a common goal: to improve the financial wellbeing and sustainability of our millions of customers.
About the Role
As a Senior Manager, you lead the design and delivery of ANZ’s non-financial risk (NFR) system to enable risk management, enterprise data and reporting capability—ensuring risk information is trusted, decision-ready and fit for Board and regulatory oversight. Reporting to the Head of NFR Data, Insights & Systems, you turn risk strategy into a prioritised roadmap and practical delivery—partnering with the business, Risk and Technology and enterprise data teams to build user-focused, scalable platform producing high-quality data foundations that enables reporting to strengthen risk transparency and resilience.
You will lead a flexible (“fungible”) team that can pivot across systems, data, reporting and delivery disciplines as priorities shift—building breadth of capability. This is a high-impact role for a leader who can shape future capability while driving disciplined, end-to-end delivery in a complex, regulated environment.
Banking is changing and we're changing with it, giving our people great opportunities to try new things, learn andgrow. Whatever your role at ANZ, you'll be building your future while helping to build ours.

• Maintain consistent standards for system onboarding, lifecycle management, testing and deployment across the NFR portfolio, ensuring solutions are scalable, secure and aligned to regulatory expectations.
• Uphold robust NFR data governance standards, including data ownership, quality, lineage and security.
• Ensure NFR systems capture data enabling insights that improve executive decision making and risk transparency.
• Lead system support and actively engage end-user communities to enhance system usability, build understanding and adoption, and validate solutions before release to strengthen risk management outcomes.
• Act as a trusted senior adviser to Executives and risk forums on NFR data, systems and reporting, providing clear options, trade‑offs and impact assessments to support decisions.
• Drive the ongoing evolution of NFR data, systems and reporting through practical feedback and improvement suggestions.
• Identify and implement opportunities to improve system usability and NFR data, systems and reporting capabilities.
