  • Coach and develop others in GA to uplift their data risk management and data assurance capabilities.
• Assist in the reporting stages of the audit engagement, including preparing and discussing audit reports with management. These audit reports form the basis of the messages reported to the Westpac Group Board Audit Committee on a quarterly basis.
• Able to collaborate closely with diverse stakeholders (senior and junior level, technical and non-technical) in a team environment. Can also work independently and prioritise allocated tasks and time accordingly.
