ANZ​ Internal Audit’s 2030 ambition is to be the leading audit function and the Bank’s trusted independent voice. We contribute to ANZ’s Group 2030 Strategy through providing the strength and perspective required for ANZ to lead the industry in trust, safety and risk management, adhering to the highest standards of non-financial risk management

The General Manager Audit, Financial Risk & Markets is a newly-created critical leadership role responsible for leading independent third line assurance across Financial Risks, the Markets business and Enterprise Finance, and for providing a coherent and credible independent third line view of risk management and control effectiveness aligned to ANZ’s risk profile and regulatory expectations.

The role is accountable for establishing and leading a specialist Financial Risk & Markets audit portfolio, bringing together specialist Centres of Audit for Credit Risk, Market Risk; end-to-end Markets business customer value chain and coverage of Enterprise Finance. This portfolio also includes Internal Audit SME leadership for the broader suite of relevant Financial Risks including Capital Adequacy, Liquidity and Funding, Model, Statutory Reporting and Tax.

Given the scale, complexity and regulatory scrutiny associated with Financial Risk, Markets and Enterprise Finance, the role is required to provide clear, authoritative perspectives on what good looks like in financial risk management and the Markets business, drawing on deep industry knowledge, prudential regulatory expectations and strong professional judgement. The ability to articulate credible, evidence-based insights to senior executives, the Board and regulators is critical.

This role combines deep expertise in financial risk management within a large, regulated financial institution, with demonstrated experience across credit risk, market risk and balance sheet risk disciplines, and the credibility to challenge senior Risk, Finance and Markets stakeholders while leading high-performing specialist assurance teams.

As a member of the Internal Audit Leadership Team (IA LT), reporting directly to the Chief Internal Audit Executive (CAE), this role plays an important role in leading the function’s strategic priorities and supports the CAE, in their capacity as an Accountable Person under the Financial Accountability Regime (FAR), by undertaking specific functional responsibilities delegated to assist in meeting the accountabilities set out in the FAR Accountability Statement.

Your key accountabilities in this role will include:

• Lead the Centre of Audit (CoA) for Credit (Wholesale and Retail) and Market risks, owning SME risk assessment and group‑wide audit planning for these portfolios and the primary centralised delivery of Credit and Market risk audit activity.
• Form Internal Audit’s authoritative view on control effectiveness, emerging risks, and regulatory developments for financial risk domains and translate prudential expectations and external best practice into audit coverage and methodology.
• Own SME accountability for Capital Adequacy, Liquidity and Funding, Climate, Model, Statutory, Tax & Regulatory Reporting risks, ensuring specialist leadership, appropriate coverage and enterprise‑wide risk insight.
• Ensure comprehensive end‑to‑end audit coverage of Markets customer value chains and front‑to‑back processes aligned to risk assessments.
• Lead and develop the Financial Risk & Markets audit team, establishing capability, professional depth and readiness to meet evolving regulatory and assurance demands.
• Lead audit planning and delivery across Markets and Enterprise Finance, providing credible third‑line assurance on governance, risk and controls, including coverage of critical operations.
• Build strong senior executive and regulatory relationships, leading engagement, oversight and responses to supervisory reviews.
• Deliver the approved audit plan to required quality and timeliness standards, maintaining strong audit governance, issue management discipline and effective regulatory engagement.
• Discharge delegated FAR responsibilities and manage risks within Internal Audit, ensuring compliance with regulatory expectations, internal governance and documented accountabilities.
• Role model and promote ANZ values, shaping a high-performance culture, Create-Deliver-Together behaviours and leading the team to do the same.

To grow and be successful in this role, you’ll ideally bring the following:

• Significant experience in financial risk management within a large, regulated financial institution, with strong knowledge across credit risk, market risk and balance-sheet risk disciplines.
• Senior leadership or assurance experience across Markets and Enterprise Finance, including oversight of end‑to‑end value chains, complex operations and governance structures.
• Demonstrated credibility with senior executives, with the ability to influence, challenge and provide clear, trusted insight on risk, controls and customer‑impact outcomes.
• Strong professional judgement in highly technical, regulated financial‑risk environments, forming clear, defensible assessments of control effectiveness.
• Audit experience leading or overseeing assurance across large, global or enterprise‑level portfolios, applying audit methodologies and professional standards in complex settings.
• Exposure to Risk, Finance, Treasury or Markets control functions, enabling deep insight into financial‑risk, capital, liquidity, market and balance‑sheet drivers.
• Proven leadership capability, including coaching, driving high performance, leading through change, and role‑modelling integrity, accountability and collaboration.
