For us, these are exciting times. There’s a real potential for big thinkers to help us redefine what financial services could be. And turn our legacy into something even more positive and powerful for the future.
Help people create their tomorrow, while you create yours
We help people with their banking, super, retirement and finances. Through upturns, downturns, recessions, and major life transitions. Every day, we help people see and make more of their financial potential, so that they can create their tomorrow. And we’ve been doing it for over 170 years.
If we do our job well, we genuinely add to the prosperity of our country and its people.
The Market Risk Management – Retirement (MRMR) team designs and manages risk frameworks for equity protection and retirement products, including the North/MyNorth Guarantees. These solutions help protect clients’ savings in downturns while supporting growth in strong markets. The team combines financial risk and modelling expertise to manage risk, optimise value, and support investment outcomes across the business
The Lead - Structuring & Modelling is a specialist quantitative role responsible for the design and evolution of equity protection product structures and the modelling approaches that underpin them. Operating across the full product lifecycle, the role translates business and client objectives into robust, implementable structures supported by rigorous quantitative analysis.
Working at the intersection of product design, pricing, hedging and risk, the role ensures models, methodologies and tools remain fit-for-purpose, scalable and aligned to AMP’s risk appetite. It plays a critical role in both developing new product features and enhancing existing structures, balancing innovation with practical implementation.
As part of the MRMR team, the role provides deep technical expertise and hands-on modelling capability, partnering closely with stakeholders to strengthen quantitative frameworks, support informed decision-making, and continuously improve modelling approaches to maintain the competitiveness of AMP’s retirement and equity protection solutions
