My responsibility was to work across the program to provide thought leadership to different program streams/verticals to execute key project milestones such as decisioning on the timing of our market announcement, re-engineering of the new distribution model and fail safes to mitigate any major program disruption. In addition, my role involved managing initiatives driven by Board and executive decision committees. For example, the investigation and recommendation on strategic action for the realignment of remediation activity across 6 disparate programs, and the establishment of a risk framework for a spin off program involving the reset of Westpac’s wealth strategy.

Core responsibility to the role was the creation and ownership of the operational risk profile for a business unit involving a national team of BDMs. This included working with business partners to establish the risk and control framework for the business as well as managing remediation responsibilities through the incident management process. Other risk management deliverables included business unit auditing, ownership of the quarterly risk forum, responsibility over the customer quality forum between BTFG and Westpac and the incident/control management framework as well as providing ongoing guidance to business operations regarding risk related matters.From an operations perspective I was responsible for running the monthly Operations Forum which involved, performance reporting, campaign development/analysis, process optimisation initiatives, development and maintenance of coaching tools, and tracking of key risk/control metrics.Another part of my responsibilities was the ownership of all reporting and insights relating to the retail wealth performance of Westpac group. Specifically, this involved BT’s retail super, general and life insurance products and financial advice distributed through the Group’s branch network. Reporting spanned across various BI tools and vendor relationships including; Qlik, Tableau and Microsoft Dynamics, as well as data management via internal warehouses (eg. data cubes) and Roy Morgan/DBM subscriptions.Key highlight of the role was the disruption of the BDM coaching model that led to the creation of a centralised virtual based coaching framework triggered through individually tailored coaching plans for each front line banker. The resulting outcome was recognised across the organisation with the design being executed by cross functional business units.
