Risk and Controls Manager (Tech and Cyber) x15ventures

Let’s introduce ourselves 

We’re a venture-scaler powered by CommBank. That means we build, buy, and invest in startups that could benefit the bank’s 15 million customers and beyond. 

Because of what we do, we’re really neither corporate, nor startup – instead we’re happily navigating the space between both worlds. We're close enough to benefit from the bank’s strategy, scale, and stability, but separate enough that we have the autonomy to try new things. 

What it’s like to work here 

We’re a community of galvanisers, thinkers, and doers. We have a big, bold vision, which so far no-one has nailed (including us). That excites, rather than deters, us.  

We never lose sight of the impact we can have on people’s lives, and the role that each of us plays in shaping the bank of the future. We don’t take ourselves too seriously and make time to connect to celebrate and grow our people. 

At x15, we’re guided by three values: Care, courage, and commitment. And what does that mean? We’re aware, attuned, and always act to help our people and our customers. We’re more than just job titles and we don’t hide the human stuff. We lead with grit and gra

we’re trying to achieve isn’t easy, but we're up for the challenge.

Where would you fit?

We are looking for a Technology Risk and Compliance Manager who is outcomes driven and can understand technology risks, with the ability to define business compliance requirements. This role requires passion for finding better ways to enable agile venture development teams to manage risk and compliance as part of their every day, focused on automation and scalable compliance through regulatory technology (regtech).

• Assisting with building and maintaining risk management requirements for teams deploying scalable RegTech solutions.

• Working with range of technology and business experts on end-to-end solutions, ensuring obligations and risks are understood and managed.

You will be supported by and work closely with a broader Risk and Operations team that includes technical information security specialists such as penetration testers and security analysts.
