Senior Manager, Change Lead – Risk Assessment (Fixed Term) – Sydney, Australia

The Senior Manager – Change Lead is responsible for leading the end‑to‑end uplift of WUFSA’s enterprise-wide Money Laundering, Terrorism Financing and Proliferation Financing (ML/TF/PF) Risk Assessment framework (EWRA).

The role will act as the primary subject matter expert in driving the required uplift to the risk assessment methodology, delivery and embedment, to enable WUFSA to successfully deliver an uplifted ML/TF risk assessment that is regulatory‑aligned, operationally effective, defensible to AUSTRAC and sustainable over time.

The role will include the necessary governance, documentation and stakeholder engagement, and consider relevant integration into downstream AML/CTF controls and decision‑making.

An opportunity to join Western Union’s Compliance Team on a full-time basis for a 12-month period.

Role Responsibilities:

ML/TF Risk Assessment Transformation

Lead the design and delivery of an uplifted EWRA, ensuring alignment to legislative and regulatory expectations.
Oversee enhancements to inherent and residual risk methodologies across customers, products/services, delivery channels and jurisdictions, ensuring risk ratings are clearly defined, consistently applied and evidence‑based.
Ensure the risk assessment is designed to appropriately inform AML/CTF controls, including customer risk rating, due diligence, transaction monitoring and escalation triggers.

Change & Delivery Leadership

Act as the accountable change lead for the ML/TF risk assessment uplift, owning scope, roadmap, milestones, dependencies and delivery artefacts.
Translate regulatory and risk requirements into clear, executable changes across people, process, governance and technology.
Support cross‑functional delivery across local, regional and global compliance, risk, operations, technology, data and business teams.

Governance, Approvals & Risk Ownership

Attend governance forums to support senior management review, challenge and approval of the
ML/TF risk assessment and material changes.
Prepare high‑quality papers and recommendations for executive committees and Board‑level risk forums.
Assist in ensuring clear senior manager accountabilities, decision records and version control are maintained for the ML/TF risk assessment.

Regulatory & Audit Readiness

Ensure the uplifted ML/TF risk assessment is fully documented, auditable and defensible in regulatory reviews and independent evaluations.
Support the local, regional and global compliance teams in their response to findings, issues or recommendations relating to ML/TF risk assessment design and implementation.

Capability & Embedment

Lead change management activities to embed the uplifted ML/TF risk assessment into business‑as‑usual operations.
Support targeted training and uplift of capability across first and second line teams on ML/TF risk concepts, methodologies and decision use.
Drive cultural adoption so the ML/TF risk assessment is actively used in risk‑based decision‑making, not treated as a static compliance artefact.

Role Requirements:

Bachelor’s or master’s Degree preferred. Professional certifications in AML/CTF or risk management (e.g. CAMS or equivalent) highly desirable.
At least 7+ years of experience in AML/CTF compliance. Experience working in a regulatory setting will be highly desirable.

Additional Skills:

Leadership experience delivering complex regulatory or financial crime change programs within a financial institution.
Deep practical knowledge of AML/CTF frameworks and ML/TF risk assessment design, including enterprise‑wide and pillar‑level risk assessments.
Strong governance, stakeholder management and executive communication capability.
Experience delivering ML/TF risk assessment uplifts in response to regulatory reform, enforcement action or supervisory remediation.

Work Shift

Western Union values in-person collaboration, problem solving, and ideation whenever possible. We believe this fosters common ways of working and supports how we execute initiatives for our customers. The expectation is to work from the office a minimum of three days a week.
