What’s the role?

You’ll play a key role in supporting how Westpac responds to incidents and crises across the Group. Working within Business Resilience, you’ll help coordinate and lead incident and crisis responses, chair response meetings, and provide clear updates to senior leaders when disruptions occur.

This role includes being part of an on‑call roster to support incidents outside standard hours.

This is a permanent, full‑time role based in Sydney, with flexibility and shared after‑hours coverage.

• Experience supporting or leading incident or crisis response activities

• Confidence chairing forums and communicating with senior stakeholders

• Ability to assess issues, escalate risks and coordinate responses under pressure

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• A practical mindset focused on learning, improvement and resilience
