- Supporting the delivery of quarterly Audit and Risk Committee meetings from compiling agendas, facilitating communication, minute-taking, and ensuring timely completion of action items.
- Participating in risk and compliance initiatives and supporting ongoing improvements across governance systems.
- Using your analytical mindset to help identify gaps in systems and processes, proposing practical solutions and assisting in implementing them.
- Building strong working relationships with stakeholders across all levels of Council, promoting a risk- and compliance-aware culture through coaching, engagement, and communication.
What you will bring
- Demonstrated experience supporting internal audit functions, including planning, coordination, reporting, and liaising with auditors and business stakeholders.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with an eye for detail and the ability to interpret risk and compliance data to drive insights and improvements.
- Excellent written communication skills, capable of drafting clear, structured reports, guidance documents, and committee papers tailored to executive and senior leadership audiences.
- Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to build trust, and communicate effectively across all levels of the organisation.
- A proactive and adaptable approach, with the ability to manage time effectively, prioritise competing tasks, and deliver high-quality outcomes within deadlines.
- Familiarity with governance systems and tools (e.g., internal audit platforms, Power BI, Microsoft Office Suite), and a willingness to learn and apply new technologies.
- A team-oriented mindset and a passion for continuous improvement, innovation, and building a resilient, high-performing organisation.
