Job Description

See yourself in our team

Risk Management is an independent function within CommBank, providing advice, oversight, assurance and challenge to help the Group operate within its risk appetite.

The Technology and Operations Risk team provides specialist Line 2 risk oversight across Technology and COO.

Do work that matters

As Senior Manager Technology Risk, you will provide Line 2 risk advice, challenge and oversight across the CTO Cloud and Architecture portfolio.

This is an opportunity to take your technical experience beyond individual systems and apply it at enterprise scale – working across complex Cloud and Architecture challenges, understanding how technology really works and influencing important decisions early.

You'll have the opportunity to bring your own perspective, challenge thinking and influence important technology decisions from a risk perspective.

Key responsibilities

• Get beneath the surface of systems and architectures to understand risks and assess whether controls are effective.
• Apply independent Line 2 judgement across material technology risks, controls, issues, incidents and change.
• Identify material and emerging risks across cloud, cyber, DevSecOps, software engineering, data, AI and resilience.
• Connect technical issues to broader business, strategic and systemic implications.
• Lead complex risk work, bringing together different perspectives and driving outcomes through ambiguity.
• Operate autonomously, using judgement to focus on the risks and decisions that matter most.
• Build trusted relationships across Engineering, Architecture, Technology and Risk, engaging early to influence better outcomes.

We’re interested in hearing from people who have

• A strong hands-on technology background in software or platform engineering, DevSecOps, cloud engineering or security, penetration testing, security engineering or architecture.
• Experience applying your technical expertise to risk, security or control decisions, whether from within Technology or a Risk function.
• Deep technical curiosity and a genuine interest in how systems, platforms and architectures work.
• Strong critical thinking and the ability to develop sound risk judgement across complex and ambiguous problems.
• The confidence and communication skills to engage credibly with both deeply technical and senior stakeholders.
• A curious, pragmatic and collaborative mindset, with the willingness to bring your own perspective and learn from others.

We value independent thought and different perspectives. You'll be trusted to form your own views, challenge ours and help shape where we focus our attention.
