Ready to take on something big? We’re looking for experienced Project Managers to help drive our risk maturity uplift program, bringing structure, momentum and clarity to the work ahead.
As our Project Manager, Risk, you’ll be part of the program PMO, playing a key part in delivering the risk maturity uplift program and its related risk change priorities. You’ll help deliver the agreed outcomes through disciplined project management across planning, governance, reporting, stakeholder engagement and delivery assurance.
Working within the broader Risk delivery framework and alongside the program PMO, you’ll own discrete activities and work packages from start to finish, contributing to agreed program deliverables.

You are confident maintaining project plans, milestones, actions, risks, issues and dependencies, while producing clear and accurate governance and PMO reporting.
Highly organised and detail-focused, you can balance multiple priorities and deadlines while coordinating input from a range of stakeholders. You bring strong problem-solving and analytical skills, communicate information clearly and are comfortable facilitating meetings, preparing governance materials and constructively addressing delivery challenges.
You’ll bring:
- Relevant tertiary qualification in a related discipline and/or equivalent industry experience
- A hands-on, team-first approach with the judgement to work independently on assigned activities and escalate when required
- Ability to travel to other nib offices, as required for stakeholder engagement and project activities
