We are seeking an Audit & Risk Manager to join our Health Fund Enablement, Risk & Compliance team. In this role, you will help protect our stores and brand by driving consistent compliance practices, with a focus on Health Fund and store transactions. You’ll conduct audits, identify risks and irregularities, and provide clear, actionable insights that support both compliance and profitability.

Working closely with Store Directors and cross-functional teams, you will take a proactive, prevention-first approach by supporting training, reviewing communications, and strengthening processes to minimise risk.

This is a hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys combining analysis with stakeholder engagement and is motivated to continuously improve how risk and compliance is delivered across the business.

We embrace a hybrid work approach to ensure a great work-life balance. When you're not working remotely, you’ll be based at our Support Office in Port Melbourne.

• Experience in audit, risk, or investigation
• Exposure to financial and operational audits, compliance, or fraud detection
• Data analysis capability (or willingness to develop these skills)
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to influence and adapt to different stakeholders
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines
• A proactive, solutions-focused approach with the ability to work in ambiguous or changing environments
• Ability to remain calm and effective when dealing with complex or high-pressure situations
• Tertiary qualification in accounting, finance, audit, risk or a related discipline (preferred)
