Third Party Risk Lead

About the role

This is a unique opportunity to lead the transformation of QBE's Third‑Party Risk Management (TPRM) framework across the AUSPAC region. The role focuses on designing and embedding fit‑for‑purpose frameworks, governance structures and operating procedures rather than day‑to‑day execution.

• Develop and embed standardized processes, procedures and guidance across the end‑to‑end third‑party lifecycle.
• Identify gaps in current practices and implement scalable, simplified enhancements.
• Enhance governance structures, reporting frameworks and key risk metrics for senior forums.
• Drive consistency in materiality assessments, risk triage and lifecycle controls across AUSPAC.
• Partner with stakeholders to translate regulatory requirements (e.g., CPS 230) into practical tools and processes.
• Contribute to initiatives that improve data quality, system adoption and reporting capability.
• Coach and support stakeholders to embed improved practices and ensure sustainable adoption into business‑as‑usual.

Required profile

• Strategic, solutions‑focused risk professional with experience designing or uplifting risk frameworks, operating models or governance structures.
• Strong understanding of third‑party risk management and lifecycle practices.
• Knowledge of regulatory requirements such as CPS 230 and ability to operationalise them.
