About QBE

At QBE, we get to the heart of what matters for our customers. And we do it all with a human touch.

We're an international insurer with more than 13,000 people working across 26 countries - which means we're big enough for your ambitions, yet small enough for you to make a real impact. It's an exciting time. We're building momentum towards our vision to become the most consistent and innovative risk partner.

What if you could have a positive impact - at work and in the world? As part of the QBE team, you'll get to spend every day working with people who are passionate, talented and kind.

The Opportunity

We're hiring a Manager, Risk and Governance to play a key role within Group Treasury, responsible for developing, embedding and executing Treasury's risk, compliance and governance framework in line with QBE's Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Framework.

This is a newly created role, offering a rare opportunity to help shape both the remit and ways of working from the ground up. Based in London, you'll act as the Line 1 risk and compliance partner for Group Treasury teams across North America and Europe, working closely with a counterpart based in Australia who covers Australia and Asia.

Your New Role

This role sits at the heart of Treasury risk and governance, combining hands-on delivery with strategic influence. You'll partner closely with Treasury leadership, Line 2 Risk & Compliance, Audit and key regional stakeholders to ensure risks are clearly identified, well-controlled and appropriately governed.

With significant scope to shape frameworks, processes and standards, this role is ideal for someone who enjoys building, improving and influencing - and who thrives in a collaborative, global environment.

Main Responsibilities:

• Co-develop and implement a consistent risk, compliance and governance framework for Group Treasury
• Provide end-to-end advisory support on process and controls design, documentation and implementation
• Co-lead Risk and Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) workshops and maintain related documentation in ERM systems
• Support Incident & Issue management, including impact assessment, root cause analysis and remediation oversight
• Lead third-party risk assessments and ensure compliance with APRA's CPS 230 and EU DORA regulation
• Manage compliance obligations, including regulatory interpretation, control design and compliance reporting
• Oversee Treasury governing documents, ensuring timely review, approval and alignment with internal standards
• Monitor and report on Risk Appetite Statements (RAS) and Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) for Group Treasury
• Coordinate evidence gathering for control attestations, audits and risk management declarations
• Facilitate the Group Treasury Risk, Operations and Compliance Committee

About You

You're a confident risk and governance professional who brings strong judgement, structure and clarity to complex environments. You enjoy partnering with senior stakeholders and are comfortable challenging constructively while maintaining strong working relationships.

You'll thrive in a role that offers autonomy, visibility and the opportunity to shape how Treasury risk and governance operates globally - bringing curiosity, discipline and collaboration to everything you do.

Skills & Experience:

• Background in operational risk, governance, audit or assurance roles
• Experience working with risk management frameworks, controls and compliance obligations
• Exposure to Treasury, insurance, banking or financial services environments
• Background in an insurance or bank Treasury function is a significant advantage, though strong risk, governance or audit profiles will also be considered
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, including stakeholder-level presentations
• Strong influencing and relationship-building capability across global teams
• High-quality analytical and problem-solving skills
• Proven ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver within tight timeframes
• Comfortable working across regions, cultures and regulatory environments
