About the role

This is a newly created role that will join our Corporate Services team to establish and embed Powerco’s enterprise-wide risk management framework, ensuring our risk function and enterprise systems are fit for purpose and ready to meet future needs.

The difference you’ll make:

  • Fostering a culture of innovation and growth by providing a risk framework that aids in commercial decision making
  • Maturing and embedding Powerco’s business continuity framework to improve resilience
  • Ensuring Powerco’s current and emerging risks (and opportunities) are understood and managed proportionately

Skills & Experience

It’s not the be all and end all, but we’d be stoked if you have:

  • Experience implementing enterprise-wide risk management frameworks
  • Passion for building relationships, partnering with the business and enging them to take greater ownership of risk management
  • Confidence leading discussions with our Executive Leadership Team and Audit and Risk Committee.

Our investment in you:

  • Loads of flexibility – we embrace hybrid working so if you’d like to work a few days a week from home (or the beach) – that’s fine by us.
  • All the usual stuff, but way better – 4% Kiwi Saver, ability to buy extra leave, paid volunteer days, free fruit in the office, amazing Parental Leave entitlements, free Life and Medical Insurance – I know right!?
  • As much development as you can handle!
  • Working with an amazing, supportive, and fun team - even if we do say so ourselves…

Applications close: Friday 6 May 2022

We will provide a safe space where you can bring your whole self to work and thrive.
