Are you an experienced Control and Assurance Senior Analyst ready to pivot your career and make an incredible impact? Join our growing Enterprise Risk team going through an exciting growth phase. This is your opportunity to help build a best-in-class control and assurance capability in a values-driven organisation where people, purpose, and performance go hand in hand.

As a key member of the Risk team, you’ll work closely with the Control and Assurance team towards the delivery of HESTA’s annual control testing plan in line with our Enterprise Control Testing Methodology. Your role will help ensure our control environment is robust, forward-looking, and continuously improving.

What You’ll Do:

• Provide practical, forward-thinking advice on control design and implementation to address emerging risks and regulatory developments.
• Champion process improvement by enhancing and automating elements of the control testing methodology.
• Support the ongoing maintenance of our assurance and control framework, ensuring alignment with industry standards, regulations, and best practices.

You are an experienced controls and assurance professional who thrives on improving how organisations manage risk. With a background in financial services or superannuation, you bring both technical expertise and a collaborative mindset.

You’ll also bring:

• Proven experience conducting design and operational effectiveness testing of controls.
• Strong working knowledge of GRC systems (e.g., Archer, Protecht) and assurance frameworks.
• A curious, analytical mind with a passion for continuous improvement.
• Communication and stakeholder engagement skills — you influence, advise, and guide with credibility and clarity.
• Tertiary qualifications in Commerce, Business, Risk, or Information Systems are highly regarded.
   

This is your opportunity to do meaningful work that matters — and be part of a team shaping the future of superannuation through robust, resilient, and innovative risk practices.
