OVERVIEW OF THE ROLE

This is no ordinary risk and reporting role. This high-profile position at the National Gallery requires someone who:

• thrives on engaging with teams on complex and unique challenges.
• uses curiosity and broad thinking to surface potential solutions.
• balances creative problem solving with acute attention to detail.
• is proactive, solution oriented, and passionate about contributing to the successful, sustainable and safe operations of a widely respected national cultural institution.

Our ideal candidate has technical knowledge and experience in risk management systems and frameworks, internal audit, governance, and reporting practices. An ability to prepare high quality, clear and user-centred guidance, tools, templates and reporting is also fundamental to this role.

This position reports to the Manager, Governance and Reporting and is responsible for supporting the National Gallery’s activities in:

• internal audit
• risk management
• governance, and
• reporting.

The position of the Governance and Risk Officer is a full-time non-ongoing (two year) role in the Governance and Strategic Planning team. The team is known and respected for its approachability, complex problem solving, solution orientation and professionalism. You will be working with a team committed to high performance, user-centred service provision and, most importantly, supporting each other to achieve and succeed.
