If you live in Australia or New Zealand, you’ve likely heard of AMP. But at a time when society is changing, we are too. We’re now a nimbler business with new leadership and thinking. 

For us, these are exciting times. There’s a real potential for big thinkers to help us redefine what financial services could be. And turn our legacy into something even more positive and powerful for the future.

Help people create their tomorrow, while you create yours

We help people with their banking, super, retirement and finances. Through upturns, downturns, recessions, and major life transitions. Every day, we help people see and make more of their financial potential, so that they can create their tomorrow. And we’ve been doing it for over 170 years. 

If we do our job well, we genuinely add to the prosperity of our country and its people.

Who you are

You are a strategic and commercially minded risk leader with the credibility and executive presence to influence Executive and Board stakeholders, build trusted relationships and provide independent, constructive challenge. You bring exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills and excel at translating complex technology, cyber, data, AI and privacy risks into clear, actionable insights that support informed decision-making and positive customer outcomes.

You combine a forward-looking mindset with sound judgement, identifying emerging risks, underlying drivers and opportunities to strengthen governance, controls, organisational resilience and risk culture.
