Wellington City, New Zealand NZ Post Full time

About the role
As a Senior Risk and Assurance Advisor, you'll work together with our dedicated team of experts in Group Risk to provide advice, support and professional services to the business, whilst reporting to the Head of Internal Audit.
This role is about enabling our people to service our customers, while working to practically mitigate operational, financial, legal/regulatory, and reputational risk.

**You'll do this by**:

- assisting the business to implement the risk management framework
- educating the business on effective risk management and control assurance
- undertaking independent audits of financial, operational and technology processes and provide control advice to management and staff.

What makes this role great?
This role is all about getting away from your desk (either literally or virtually), networking with our people, and partnering with senior stakeholders across the business. You will be constantly discovering and developing your own knowledge and skills while producing meaningful results for both business managers and at the executive level.
This is your chance to use your strong analytical skills, balanced with pragmatism and common sense, to create tangible business recommendations in an exciting, growing industry. We want you to feel a part of our modern and collaborative team, to get involved and to have fun
In return, we'll give you lots of scope for growth, flexibility, a supportive environment, and the chance to make a significant difference in an organisation undergoing transformational change. The Internal Audit team is agile and responsive to business needs while ensuring it provides assurance to our people, including the Executive Leadership team and the NZ Post Board.

About you
Due to the nature of the work we do, key to your success will be your ability to engage and build effective, trusted relationships with people at all levels. Your professionalism, inter-personal savvy and skill in presenting an argument for change and improvement will be highly valued.
We are looking for people who are commercially savvy, and have a solid background in the provision of internal audit and/or risk management services in a large or complex commercial organisation.
You may be CA or CIA qualified and/or have an accreditation in risk management
