Credit Policy Manager

The Role

This is a high-impact Credit Policy Manager opportunity embedded within a large-scale credit policy simplification and modernisation program at a major Australian bank. Working closely with credit risk specialists, policy owners, and senior business stakeholders across Institutional and Business Banking, you will own the end-to-end review, drafting, and delivery of non-retail credit policies, transforming complex documentation into clear, principles-based frameworks that support better banker decision-making and reduced operational risk. The right candidate combines deep non-retail credit risk knowledge with the ability to drive outcomes confidently in a complex, multi-stakeholder banking environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the end-to-end review, simplification, and redevelopment of non-retail credit policies, producing clear, principles-based documentation that aligns with regulatory obligations and internal governance requirements.
• Collaborate with credit risk specialists, policy owners, and Institutional and Business Banking stakeholders to gather requirements, validate policy content, and drive consensus through workshops and structured review cycles.
• Ensure all policy outputs meet APRA regulatory standards and internal risk framework requirements, maintaining compliance across the full credit policy lifecycle from drafting through to approval and implementation.
• Manage competing priorities and delivery milestones across multiple policy workstreams, maintaining momentum and quality while working within an established project governance framework.
• Partner with change and project teams to support policy implementation, stakeholder adoption, and continuous improvement of policy usability, consistency, and operational effectiveness.

Skills & Experience Required

• Strong non-retail credit risk experience, ideally within Institutional Banking, Business Banking, or Corporate Banking at a major Australian bank, international bank, or financial regulator, with previous exposure to credit policy development or governance documentation.
• Solid understanding of credit risk management principles, the end-to-end credit lifecycle, and relevant APRA regulatory standards, including APS 112, APS 113, APS 220, and APS 221.
• Demonstrated ability to draft, simplify, and redevelop complex credit policy or governance frameworks, translating technical risk requirements into clear, principles-based documentation accessible to a broad banker audience.
• Proven stakeholder engagement and influencing skills, with the confidence to challenge, align, and manage senior stakeholders across credit risk, policy, compliance, and business functions in a large, complex banking environment.
• Strong written communication and delivery capability, with experience working in project environments, managing competing priorities, and delivering quality outcomes to agreed timeframes; legal professionals with credit risk and banking experience will also be considered.
