Critical to the success of this role is someone who not only has deep subject matter expertise but is a seasoned privacy professional experienced in working in large and complex organisations. The candidate should possess excellent stakeholder management and partnering skills to be the business's trusted advisor, be proactive and solutions-focused, while also being collaborative and engaging. This role, while leading the AUSPAC Division, will be a key contributor to privacy risk management and uplift with the Global Privacy Team.

This role will contribute greatly to our efforts to continue to grow and shape our AUSPAC and Global Privacy Teams, strategy, approach, and priorities.

Your new role On a regular basis, your role will involve:

Developing the strategy, roadmap, and priorities for privacy at AUSPAC
Providing expert, informed, and pragmatic advice to the business on privacy risk, controls, and responsible data use requirements and considerations
Overseeing the effective implementation of Group privacy, data, and AI Policies and approaches into the AUSPAC business to drive consistency across the enterprise and ensure management of AUSPAC risks
Being the point of contact for OAIC-related matters, including managing the relationship with the regulator
Implementing pragmatic approaches to further build QBE's privacy risk maturity for teams
Overseeing key privacy governance requirements including PIAs, privacy incidents and assessments, retention management, personal information flows, transparency requirements, and other such activities

About you As a senior leader and expert in privacy, you will demonstrate exceptional knowledge in privacy risks and requirements. Your expertise allows you to implement best practices across a board and within complex organisations, and you have proven success in uplifting privacy maturity.

Your stakeholder and relationship management skills are vast, enabling you to consult, guide, and influence others across a broad organisation to ensure compliance with privacy obligations and minimise risk to the business. A background in insurance and/or financial services is beneficial from a contextual perspective, but not essential. You have experience in leading and developing teams, providing guidance and growth, and driving efficiencies and excellent team culture.
