Head of Internal Audit

Now, about this opportunity… This is a rare opportunity to lead and shape Judo's Internal Audit function. As Head of Internal Audit, you'll provide independent assurance over governance, risk management and internal controls across the Bank while serving as the principal Internal Audit adviser to the Board Audit Committee. Reporting functionally to the Board Audit Committee and administratively to the General Manager Finance, you'll play a critical role in establishing and leading Judo's future co-sourced Internal Audit operating model. You will be responsible for building capability, driving audit excellence and ensuring Internal Audit remains aligned to Judo's strategic objectives, risk profile and regulatory obligations.

This is both a strategic leadership role and a hands-on transformation opportunity, requiring someone who can build, influence and deliver while maintaining the independence and objectivity expected of a modern Internal Audit function. If that excites you, this just might be your dream job:

• Lead the establishment, implementation and ongoing operation of Judo's co-sourced Internal Audit model.
• Act as the principal Internal Audit adviser to the Board Audit Committee, providing independent insight on governance, risk and control matters.
• Develop and maintain Judo's Internal Audit strategy, audit universe and risk-based annual and multi-year audit plans.
• Oversee delivery of the approved Internal Audit program, ensuring high-quality, evidence-based and commercially pragmatic assurance outcomes.
• Establish and maintain Internal Audit methodologies, frameworks, policies and a Quality Assurance and Improvement Program (QAIP).
• Monitor emerging risks and recommend changes to assurance coverage to meet evolving business and regulatory requirements.
• Lead the selection, mobilisation and ongoing management of co-source providers, ensuring quality, independence, knowledge transfer and value delivery.
• Recruit, develop and lead Judo's Internal Audit team, fostering a culture of professionalism, accountability and continuous improvement.
• Build strong and constructive relationships across the organisation while maintaining Internal Audit independence.
• Partner with Executive leaders, Risk, Governance, External Audit and other assurance providers to maximise assurance effectiveness and minimise duplication.
• Support engagement with APRA and other regulators on Internal Audit-related matters and ensure alignment with evolving regulatory expectations.
• Maintain continuity of audit coverage during the transition period and provide clear reporting on implementation progress, risks and readiness.
• Assess future Internal Audit capability, capacity and operating model requirements, providing recommendations to support Judo's ongoing growth.
