About Future Fund Management Agency
The Future Fund is Australia’s sovereign wealth fund, investing for the benefit of future generations of Australians. The Future Fund
Board of Guardians, supported by the Future Fund Management Agency, invests the assets of seven public asset funds: the Future
Fund, the Medical Research Future Fund, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Land and Sea Future Fund, the Future Drought
Fund, the Emergency Response Fund and the DisabilityCare Australia Fund. Each fund has an investment mandate that is
determined by the Australian Government under legislation. Our role is to generate strong, risk-adjusted returns over the long term.
Duties
- We’re looking for a senior investment governance and risk leader to help shape how we oversee
- risk, governance and control across the investment lifecycle — and to strengthen how we support
- decision-making at the highest levels of the organisation.
- This is an opportunity to step into a role that combines investment insight, governance thinking
- and independent challenge, working closely with our Investment team while bringing a Line Two
- perspective that helps us see risk clearly and act with confidence.
- This role sits within the Line Two Risk function and operates as a trusted partner to Investments —
- someone who can influence, challenge and elevate how governance and risk are applied across
- the portfolio.
- You’ll work at the intersection of:
- Investment governance and decision-making
- Risk oversight and calibration
- Board visibility and insight
- Control assurance across the investment lifecycle
- A key focus will be designing and embedding a control assurance plan that brings clarity,
- transparency and confidence to how risk and governance operate in practice.
- What you’ll do:
- You’ll work with, and challenge, the Investment function to strengthen how we:
- Apply governance across the end-to-end investment lifecycle
- Define and operate delegations of authority and investment policy
- Oversee and interpret portfolio stress testing and risk insights
- Monitor and report risk, control effectiveness and deviations to senior stakeholders and the
- Board
- Build and embed a control assurance approach that is practical, proportionate and aligned to
- our risk appetite
- You’ll also play a key role in shaping the future of Line Two investment risk — contributing to team
- design, capability uplift and how we partner with Investments going forward.
Eligibility / Notes
- You’ll be someone who is as comfortable engaging with investors as you are thinking about
- governance, controls and risk frameworks.
- We’re particularly interested in people who bring:
- Experience in investment risk, investment governance or Line Two oversight in a complex
- investment environment
- A strong understanding of the investment lifecycle — from decision-making through to
- execution, monitoring and reporting
- Experience building or evolving control assurance, governance or risk frameworks
- Exposure to Board or committee reporting, and an understanding of what decision-makers
- need to see
- The ability to influence and partner with senior stakeholders, balancing independence with
- pragmatism
- Sound judgement — recognising what matters most and ensuring it is visible and understood
- Ideal candidates could have experience working at superannuation funds, sovereign wealth funds,
- asset managers, consultants or regulators, but more important than where you’ve worked is how
- you think.
- Please note this opportunity is open to Australian Citizens only
