Group Audit Manager - Consumer, Business & Wealth

About the role

Westpac is recruiting a Group Audit Manager for its Consumer, Business & Wealth (CBW) and Response team. The role combines analytics expertise with audit and risk work across mortgages, credit cards, business lending and broader consumer and business banking. It is a full-time permanent position with a hybrid arrangement of three days in the office and two days remotely.

Key responsibilities

• Deliver and support risk-based audits across the audit lifecycle, from planning and risk assessment through to testing, fieldwork, issue identification and reporting.
• Use data analytics to interrogate large data populations, identify trends and assess how effectively controls are operating, rather than relying solely on traditional sample-based testing.
• Work hands-on with analytical tools such as Alteryx, SAS or SQL, turning audit and control objectives into practical data analysis.
• Build trusted relationships with risk specialists, audit colleagues and key stakeholders to deliver insight-led outcomes.
• Contribute to improving audit methodologies, analytics capabilities and risk assurance practices.
• Develop knowledge of consumer and business banking, risk and audit methodology, building toward leading audits end-to-end.

Required profile

• Experience in audit and/or risk, with the ability to understand processes, risks and controls and apply sound judgement.
• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with a collaborative and solutions-focused approach.
• An interest in developing knowledge across audit, consumer and business banking and emerging risks.
• Experience in financial services or consumer/business banking is valuable, though deep product knowledge is not essential.

Required skills

• Hands-on data analytics with tools such as Alteryx, SAS, SQL, Tableau or Power BI.
• Ability to translate audit, risk or control objectives into practical analytical approaches and communicate findings clearly.

What we offer

• Flexible work arrangements and a variety of leave options, including Culture, Lifestyle and Wellbeing leave.
• Tailored learning and development opportunities.
• Volunteering opportunities with the bank's community initiatives.
• Employee-only mortgage rates and discounts from top brands.
