About the team-

The Risk and Compliance team does what its name suggests – we advise the business on risk strategy and mitigation and on our compliance obligations. Reporting to the Head of Risk and Compliance, you will work in a team responsible for Quality Assurance, Dispute Resolution and the Compliance function across all BizCover channels and geographies.

The Role-

Reporting to the Head of Risk and Compliance, the Complaints & IDR Officer has two main accountabilities: leading BizCover's complaints handling process and driving continuous improvement, and supporting the management of compliance risk.

The role owns dispute resolution, working with stakeholders across BizCover to deliver fair, timely outcomes for customers, and is the trusted contact for insurer partners on escalated complaints. It also supports compliance more broadly, helping BizCover meet its regulatory and AFSL obligations by keeping compliance, monitoring, supervision and risk frameworks in place and adhered to.
