You will support the Lead Assurance Reviewer and the Head of Assurance in the creation, maintenance, and timely execution of the Financial Crime Risk Assurance Plan. You will work closely with other members of the Assurance team to deliver valuable risk insights into the effectiveness of the Macquarie financial crime risk management framework.
