Credit Risk Assessment Manager

Are you ready to shape the future of retail credit risk at BOQ Group? As our new Credit Risk Assessment Manager, you’ll play a pivotal role in ensuring the quality and integrity of our consumer lending portfolio. This is more than just a credit decisioning role — it’s a chance to influence policy, mentor network lenders, and drive a prudent yet proactive credit culture across the business.

You’ll be exercising Delegated Approval Authority (DAA) to assess and structure lending submissions, identifying trends and risks, and collaborating with internal and external stakeholders to support BOQ’s strategic growth — the right way. From coaching frontline teams to contributing to policy development, your impact will be felt across the organisation.

This role sits within our Group Risk division, reporting to the Senior Manager Retail Credit Risk, and is integral to our mission of building social capital through banking.

You’re a confident decision-maker with a sharp eye for risk and a passion for responsible lending. With a background in Credit Risk and Consumer Financial Services, you bring strong stakeholder management, excellent judgement, and a collaborative spirit to everything you do.

You thrive in fast-paced environments, respond to queries with urgency, and take pride in mentoring others to elevate their credit assessment skills. You’re curious, inclusive, and lionhearted — living the BOQ Group values every day.

Whilst holding a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance or a related discipline is advantageous, what we’re really looking for is someone with deep experience, strong knowledge, and strategic influence in this Credit Risk Assessment space — someone who can collaborate and partner across Business Bank, Retail, and Risk teams to drive impactful outcomes.

Working for us is fun and fast-paced, and we are seeking top talent to take us where we want to go. BOQ Group people are easy to spot. They're smart, energetic, full of ideas and passionate about what they do. If this sounds like you and you're looking to join a multi-brand on the forefront of financial services, we'd love to chat!
