Ko tātou tēnei - Hei hāpai ake i a koe | This is us. Where you matter.

This is an opportunity to play a key role at the intersection of transformation delivery, risk and assurance. Working across Kiwibank's Transformation portfolio, you will help senior leaders and programme teams understand where delivery risk is emerging, what risk is being delivered into the business as change lands, and where action is needed. It would suit someone with risk and assurance experience looking to work closer to delivery, or someone from a delivery or analytical background ready to take a broader risk role in a large, complex change environment.

Kō tātou tēnei. Hei kawe i ngā mahi kia tutuki | This is us. Where making an impact matters.

The role balances regular portfolio reporting cycles with larger pieces of foundational work that strengthen how risk is managed across Transformation. You will have real ownership of both.

A day in the life could include:

• Leading portfolio risk reporting, connecting information across programmes and shaping clear insights for senior stakeholders and governance forums
• Attending programme risk, assumption, issue and dependency (RAID) sessions, testing the quality of information and providing practical delivery risk guidance
• Designing and building dashboards that connect transformation delivery with business risk outcomes
• Partnering with senior risk and delivery leads to standardise reporting and risk approaches across programmes
• Spotting emerging themes and trends, and turning them into concise commentary and clear recommendations
• Helping programmes and receiving business teams understand the delivered risk from change, so risks, issues and controls transition cleanly into the business
• Identifying and testing practical AI use cases that improve the speed and quality of risk analysis and reporting and processes
• Supporting assurance activity across the portfolio

This is a fast-paced transformation environment where priorities can shift quickly. You will need to read what matters most, adjust your focus and keep work moving with limited direction. You will build trusted relationships across programme, delivery, business, risk and assurance teams, and be confident offering constructive challenge where it is needed.

Ko tātou tēnei. Kia hāpai i ō pūkenga | This is us. Where your expertise matters.

This role suits someone with a hands-on attitude, with the willingness to get stuck in and do whatever is needed to get the work done, whether that's big-picture analysis or the detail behind it.

You will be proactive and self-directed, use your initiative, and be confident with technology and systems. Experience in a large, complex change environment is important. This may have been gained in banking, financial services or professional services.

We would love to hear from you if you bring:

• A reasonable understanding of delivery, delivered and business risk, or at least the concepts behind them and how change introduces new risk into the business
• Experience in a transformation, change or delivery environment, with a solid understanding of programme delivery, governance and how decisions are made
• Strong critical thinking, with the ability to connect information from multiple sources, test assumptions and identify what really matters
• Strong organisational skills, with the ability to plan and run your own work, meeting regular reporting deadlines while moving larger pieces of work forward
• Sound judgement to work through ambiguity, balance competing priorities and pivot quickly
• Confidence to challenge constructively and influence stakeholders at senior levels
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to turn complex information into clear, concise messages and recommendations for senior audiences
• A track record of building trusted relationships across delivery, business, risk and assurance teams
• Strong technical capability, including designing and building dashboards in tools such as Power BI and Excel, and quickly getting across new systems and data sources
• The ability to identify solid AI and automation use cases and apply them responsibly to improve analysis and reporting

You do not need to tick every box to be considered. Above all, we are looking for someone curious and adaptable, who takes ownership and is motivated to make sense of complexity.
