Governance and Assurance Lead (Contract)

About the role

Troocoo is recruiting, on behalf of a leading Brisbane organisation, a Governance and Assurance Specialist for a six-month contract. The team provides independent assurance, offering a risk perspective separate from project delivery. It reviews decisions at project and programme level, including business cases, changes of direction and guidance from sponsoring bodies, so that decision makers have the information they need to make sound choices.

You will take responsibility for higher-risk investment and assurance activities, supporting a small team of four, and help design the business processes behind the assurance function.

Required profile

• Experience in risk or assurance, project or programme delivery, with a preference for people who have moved away from day-to-day delivery.
• A strong understanding of risk across large and complex projects, including projects worth several million dollars.
• Proven stakeholder management and the ability to influence at senior levels.
• Capacity to contribute to behavioural change and to reposition assurance as a valued partner to the business.
• Exposure to infrastructure or utilities environments, such as power or sewerage, is highly regarded.
