About the role

Ansvar Australia, who are proudly part of the Benefact Group, are looking for a Risk Consultant- ERM to join our Melbourne office.

As a Risk Consultant – Enterprise Risk, you'll work alongside senior consultants to help organisations across Ansvar's core sectors; care, community, education and faith strengthen their governance, manage risk more effectively and build lasting operational resilience.

This is a hands-on advisory role where you'll provide practical risk guidance, develop tools and resources, and turn emerging sector risks into real insights for clients, underwriters and broker partners alike.

Career Pathway & Opportunity

This role is a launchpad for a high-impact career in risk. Unlike traditional risk positions that focus narrowly on compliance, you'll gain rare exposure to board and executive advisory work, complex social sector organisations, enterprise risk management, and emerging risk research, all while developing your voice through thought leadership and facilitation.

• Research and translate emerging risks — monitor regulatory reforms, sector developments and emerging trends across aged care, disability, education and faith sectors, turning insights into risk alerts, client tools and practical guidance resources

• Facilitate training and client education — support the delivery of client workshops, webinars, broker education sessions and conference presentations, building toward independently facilitating sessions over time

• Strengthen underwriting alignment — assist with risk referrals, provide research support for complex risks and contribute to improving internal specialist knowledge across the business

• Ability to simplify and communicate complex risk concepts clearly
