The racing world is not just exciting, it brings communities together across the state. Racing and Wagering Western Australia (RWWA) is at the centre of this world and more than 24,000 people choose to join us in our quest to forge a sustainable future for racing in WA.
As well as controlling thoroughbred, harness and greyhound racing in Western Australia, RWWA operates the TAB which has more than 300 off-course retail outlets, a call centre and online betting services. Our motto is Better Your Bet because increasing profits through Western Australia’s own TAB means better returns for the local racing sector and state-wide communities.
Our business is unique, which means we can offer careers which are interesting, challenging and diverse. Our values are important to us so, to be successful, you’ll have to share them. We respect one another, are accountable for our goals, connect with everyone and bringing excellence to achieve great outcomes. We work hard but have fun while we’re doing it.
We are growing our Risk and Compliance team and seeking two Risk Officers to strengthen our capability across risk assessment, controls assurance and business resilience.
RWWA’s racing and sports wagering activities offer varied and challenging risk work in a highly regulated industry. Our responsibilities include supporting the development and long-term sustainability of WA’s racing industry, safeguarding racing integrity and animal welfare, and meeting obligations relating to responsible wagering, anti-money laundering and privacy. This is an opportunity to apply your skills and develop broader risk expertise while helping shape RWWA’s risk practices as we build our capability and maturity.
Reporting to the Risk and Compliance Team Lead, you will share business partnering responsibilities with colleagues in the risk team. Alongside this shared work, there is scope to lead specific areas of controls assurance or business resilience. In this second line role, you will provide advice, oversight and constructive challenge to business owners, who remain accountable for managing their risks.
We welcome applications from experienced risk professionals looking to broaden their expertise and professionals seeking to move into risk from disciplines such as accounting and finance, business analysis, technology, engineering, governance, projects or operations. You will bring a track record of delivering practical outcomes in a professional setting and demonstrate the following capabilities.
Experience in risk management, controls assurance, compliance or business continuity would be valuable. Experience relevant to risk management may also come from audit, banking, finance, business analysis, projects, technology or operations. A background banking, financial services or another regulated environment would also be an advantage.
