About us 
We have an ambition for Woolworths Group to have Best in Class End-to-End (E2E) Pay Processes, and have formed an Agile Enablement Tribe to deliver this transformational and likely once-in-a-career opportunity. 

Woolworths Group operates Australia's largest and most complex payroll, and we are committed to achieving confidence and trust that we pay our team members accurately. Achieving this ambition will require a complex and multi-year transformation of our people systems and processes. 

About the role
In this newly created role as the Head of Risk & Compliance, Culture & People (C&P), you will support the leadership team to deliver the Risk Management strategy in C&P through the design and implementation of key initiatives related to frameworks, methodologies, processes and tools. 
 
This role will actively engage with various parts of Woolworths C&P, the risk community, and the broader business to provide advice, constructive challenge and support to embed our enterprise risk management and compliance framework. 
 
This role is hands-on and will work collaboratively to work across the entire risk and compliance landscape for this project. A critical part of your role will be to help build best in class end-to-end pay processes, through your leadership of the Governance stream of the E2E Pay Processes Program.

• Lead the Governance stream of the E2E Pay Processes Program and develop a best in class controls monitoring program that is fit for Woolworths Group’s needs
• Serve as a trusted business partner and a key point of contact for risk, compliance & controls management matters in C&P.

About you
We’re looking for someone with a curious mindset, a desire to make a difference, strong communication and presentation skills, and an interest in visualising what could be achieved with big data at scale.

You will also have:
