Shape and embed HCF's new Risk Assurance function, partnering with leaders across the business to strengthen risk, controls and outcomes.
About the Role
HCF is establishing a dedicated Line 2 Risk Assurance function, and we're looking for a passionate and experienced leader to shape, design and embed this capability across the organisation. Rather than stepping into a mature, established assurance team, you'll play a pivotal role in creating the framework, methodology, approach and education required to bring the function to life.
Balancing deep technical risk expertise with strong commercial business partnering, you'll provide independent Line 2 assurance to assess whether key risks are appropriately identified and managed, controls are designed and operating effectively, and regulatory obligations are being met.
Working closely with senior leaders, Heads of Function and Risk Owners, you'll help strengthen risk management practices, enhance control environments and drive better business outcomes across HCF.
With responsibility for a team of two Risk Assurance professionals, you'll foster a collaborative and high-performing environment, supporting team development and excellence in assurance delivery.
We're looking for a leader who enjoys driving improvement, influencing positive change and partnering with stakeholders to strengthen risk and control environments. Whether you've helped enhance an existing capability or delivered significant assurance initiatives, you'll bring the experience and passion to help establish a trusted and value-adding Risk Assurance function.
About You
You may come from a risk assurance, controls assurance, internal audit or risk management background. Importantly, you'll bring experience implementing or enhancing assurance frameworks, programs or methodologies and be energised by the opportunity to help shape a growing capability.
You enjoy collaborating with and developing others and are committed to fostering a positive, high-performing team environment. Whether you've formally led people or played a key role in coaching and mentoring colleagues, you'll be passionate about helping others succeed.
Commercially minded and highly collaborative, you're confident providing independent challenge and influencing stakeholders at all levels of the business. You enjoy working through complexity, bringing people on the journey and turning strategic objectives into practical outcomes.

For over 90 years, our members have trusted us to protect their health and wellbeing, and in return we’ve provided quality cover and healthcare that’s right for them.
Because as Australia’s largest not-for-profit health fund, we believe in delivering our members a level of care that’s uncommon.
From humble beginnings in 1932, we’ve grown to become the nation’s largest not-for-profit health fund, helping to protect the health and wellbeing of over 1.8 million Australians with health, life, travel or pet insurance. And we remain constant to our not-for-profit charter, continuing to provide the highest standard of healthcare while returning more benefits to our members.
We’re also proud of our many industry firsts. Over the years, we’ve been at the forefront of healthcare innovation, from introducing the first multicover plan to “cover the gap” in extras services, to opening one of the first health fund operated dental centre networks and launching Australia’s first on-demand injury cover*.
Because we believe in making healthcare understandable, affordable and high quality for our members, they’re empowered to make informed decisions about their health.
Through the HCF Catalyst program, we continue to invest in the future of Australia’s health by supporting small businesses with big ideas, and fund researchers working to improve health outcomes for all Aussies through the HCF Research Foundation.
We’re also committed to investing in the health and wellbeing of our staff. At HCF, we value diversity, inclusion and equality in the workplace, and are dedicated to creating a working culture where staff can flourish. We believe that giving employees a safe, healthy and sustainable work environment is a priority.
