The Team

System Risk sits within the Markets Systems team in ASIC's Markets Group. The Markets Group is responsible for ensuring investors have confidence in Australia's financial markets and that market participants, infrastructure providers and gatekeepers operate with integrity, resilience and transparency. The Markets Group regulates financial markets and participants by closely working with government, industry and internal stakeholders to support market integrity, resilience and transparency.

The Markets Systems team has recently been established to provide a single, system‑wide lens across public and private markets, enabling whole‑of‑ASIC risk coordination, stronger market design outcomes assessed holistically, earlier detection of emerging risks across asset classes and interconnections, and clearer visibility of risk build‑up such as leverage and concentration that can inform stress and supervisory responses.

The Role

As an Analyst within System Risk, you will contribute to initiatives that support ASIC's regulatory priorities and the effective operation of Australia's financial markets. Working across a range of complex issues, you will provide analysis and advice to support policy development, regulatory reform, market supervision outcomes and strategic risk priorities.

You Will

• Contribute to regulatory policy, reform and strategic initiatives impacting financial markets.
• Undertake research, analysis and interpretation of legislation, policy and market developments to inform decision-making.
• Collect, analyse and interpret market intelligence and data to identify risks, issues and emerging trends.
• Assist in implementing regulatory reforms through changes to frameworks, processes, systems and guidance.
• Develop high-quality written material including briefings, regulatory publications, presentations and stakeholder communications.
• Build and maintain productive relationships with internal and external stakeholders to support regulatory and risk outcomes.

About You

You will bring experience within financial markets, market supervision, risk management, compliance, regulatory policy or a related environment, together with a sound understanding of Australia's financial system and regulatory framework. You are comfortable analysing complex information, applying regulatory judgement and translating technical issues into clear and practical advice. Experience contributing to projects, reforms or initiatives within a dynamic and highly regulated environment will be highly regarded.

You are naturally curious, adaptable and solutions-focused, with strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills. You build effective stakeholder relationships, communicate with influence and confidence, and work collaboratively to resolve issues and drive outcomes. You are comfortable working independently, managing competing priorities and navigating ambiguity while maintaining a focus on quality outcomes and risk management.
