Data and Reporting Lead

We are seeking a talented individual to join our Risk and Control Advisory team at Mercer Super. This role can be based either in our Sydney or Melbourne office. This is a hybrid role that has a requirement of working at least three days a week in the office.

At Mercer Super, we’re building a safer, smarter, stronger future — for our members, our colleagues, our business partners, and each other. In a world of constant change, risk and compliance are essential. They give us the confidence, control, and clarity to act — and to keep doing the right thing. With strong foundations in place, we’re focused on growing capability, lifting capacity, and creating a future-ready ecosystem where our colleagues feel supported to step up and speak up. We don’t settle for good enough — we ask what better looks like, every day.

If you’re driven by purpose and ready to make an impact, this is your moment.

You’ll join a team with momentum, humility, and a deep belief that better decisions start with great people.

We’re looking for those who care about doing what’s right — for our members, our business, and one another — and who want to help shape the next chapter of superannuation in Australia.

We will count on you to:

• Establish and implement the data management and reporting infrastructure for the Risk and Control Advisory function, including governance protocols and standard operating procedures.
• Coordinate data inputs from various business units, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and timeliness in risk reporting, while developing reporting templates and dashboards for stakeholders.
• Perform proactive trend analysis to identify key risk hotspots and provide actionable insights that drive decision-making.
• Collaborate with Line 1 and Line 2 Risk and Compliance teams to set up new forums and projects focused on risk management.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with internal stakeholders, facilitating effective communication of complex data findings and risk insights.

What you need to have:

• Bachelor’s degree in Business Management, Data Analytics, Information Technology, or a related field.
• 3 to 5+ years of experience in risk, compliance, and risk management within the superannuation and financial services industries.
• Intermediate proficiency in data analysis and reporting tools (e.g., Excel, Power BI, SQL).
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with a keen attention to detail.

What makes you stand out:

• Experience in operational risk or enterprise risk, particularly within the superannuation or financial services sectors.
• A deep understanding of superannuation business activities/products and associated regulations (e.g., APRA guidance).
• Exposure to risk management systems and reporting tools, along with a working knowledge of Risk Management and Compliance Frameworks.

Why join our team:

• We help you be your best through professional development opportunities, interesting work, and supportive leaders.
• We foster a vibrant and inclusive culture where you can work with talented colleagues to create new solutions and have an impact for colleagues, clients, and communities.
• Our scale enables us to provide a range of career opportunities, as well as benefits and rewards to enhance your well-being.
