Job Description

Who We Are

At Pepper Money, we’re dedicated to helping people succeed—whether it’s buying a family home, a dream car, developing professionally, or growing their business. We’ve become one of the largest, most trusted, and award-winning non-bank lenders in Australia and New Zealand. Over our 26 years, we’ve achieved a lot, but our proudest accomplishment is helping over half a million Australians reach their goals with our ever-expanding lending options.

The Role

As Manager, Operational Risk, you'll partner with leaders across Pepper Money to strengthen risk management practices and support a proactive risk culture. Working closely with the Senior Manager, Operational Risk, you'll provide Line 2 oversight, challenge and guidance to help the business identify, assess and manage operational risks while delivering practical solutions that support strong customer and business outcomes.

  • Partner with business stakeholders to identify, assess and manage operational risks in line with Pepper Money's risk management framework.
  • Facilitate and challenge Risk and Control Self-Assessments (RCSAs), ensuring risks, controls and actions are clearly defined and appropriately managed.
  • Provide constructive challenge on the design and effectiveness of controls, identifying opportunities to strengthen risk outcomes.
  • Support the uplift of operational risk capability across the business through training, coaching and practical risk guidance.
  • Review incidents and issues to ensure they are appropriately recorded, escalated and managed, while supporting meaningful root cause analysis and sustainable remediation.
  • Partner with project teams to identify and manage risks associated with business change initiatives and strategic projects.
  • Analyse operational risk data to identify emerging trends, themes and insights that support informed decision-making and governance reporting.
  • Maintain high-quality risk information within the GRC system, ensuring records are accurate, complete and up to date.
  • Champion a strong risk culture by promoting accountability, ownership and effective risk management practices across the organisation.

About you

You're a risk professional who enjoys partnering with the business to solve problems, challenge thinking and drive better risk outcomes. You combine strong analytical skills with a collaborative approach, allowing you to build trusted relationships while helping stakeholders confidently manage risk in a fast-paced financial services environment.

  • Bring experience in operational risk, compliance, assurance or a related risk discipline within financial services.
  • Have a strong understanding of risk management principles and the practical application of operational risk frameworks.
  • Demonstrate experience facilitating risk and control assessments and partnering with stakeholders to improve risk outcomes.
  • Possess strong incident and issue management experience, including root cause analysis and remediation oversight.
  • Have experience working with GRC systems and maintaining risk, control and action records.
  • Use excellent written and verbal communication skills to influence stakeholders and present complex concepts in a simple, practical way.
  • Apply strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills to identify trends, assess impacts and recommend effective solutions.
  • Build trusted relationships, work collaboratively across teams and bring a pragmatic, solutions-focused approach to risk management.
  • Bring exposure to project risk, business continuity or major change initiatives, which would be highly regarded.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
