APRA invites applicants for the senior role of Executive General Manager (EGM) of its Supervisory Support Division (SSD).
One of four EGMs based at APRA’s Head Office in Sydney, this role reports directly to APRA’s Executive Group (the Chairman, Deputy Chairman and Member) and is a key member of the executive management team. Each EGM is expected to be capable of effectively contributing in any of the four areas of responsibility. The role immediately available is Executive General Manager SSD, which leads a division of 130 professional staff in Sydney and APRA’s interstate offices. The specialist areas within the division include the industry technical services, actuarial, operational, credit and market risk, legal services and enforcement teams.
This highly challenging role involves:
- assisting in the development of prudential regulation advice, policies and initiatives;
- contributing substantially to the strategic planning and development of APRA’s approach to prudential supervision;
- reviewing the impact of prudential regulation and recommending changes linked to emerging trends in risk and prudential management; and
- developing effective relationships with front-line supervisors and external stakeholders.
The role also represents APRA domestically and internationally in dealings with senior executives in the finance industry, with government and other regulatory agencies and in industry seminars and conferences.
Applicants should have a successful track record in leading and managing professional staff, a sound understanding of the principles of prudential supervision and financial sector risks and a strong working knowledge of the structure of the Australian financial system.
If you join APRA you will be working in a best practice, professional environment. The successful candidate will be offered an attractive remuneration package and relocation support where required.
