Compliance & Operational Risk Manager

If you also believe that everyone should be able to achieve their financial potential, then you’ll love contributing to CMC Markets’ company vision of providing the ultimate trading experience. Seize the opportunity to progress your career in the fintech industry by joining a global leader in CFD trading and share investing. Grow yourself personally and professionally with a company that’s growing with you, by global expansion and product offering.

This role offers something rare in compliance: genuine variety and visibility. You'll wake up to different challenges each day from developing risk-based monitoring programs to advising on cutting-edge business initiatives, from managing regulatory relationships with ASIC and ASX to training teams across the organisation. Your work will span our entire business footprint, giving you unparalleled exposure to how a global financial services company operates at scale.

You'll develop deep expertise across both CFD and stockbroking compliance. The cross-jurisdictional exposure and global project work will accelerate your professional growth far beyond what a typical compliance role offers.

Just some of the reasons you’ll love working here include:

• Leave benefits: Accrue 5 additional annual leave entitlements each year called My Days, as well as enjoying 5 extra annual leave days once you pass 12 months. Enjoy your birthday off to spend time with family and friends, on us! Utilise a free annual charity day to give back to your community.

• Office perks: Help yourself to free breakfast cereals, condiments, and coffee to fuel your workday. Our culture club provides opportunities for everyone whether you’re into fitness, pizza making classes, socialising or bringing out your competitive side in trivia or lawn bowls!

What you’ll be working on

Your days will be dynamic and impactful. You'll develop and execute our risk-based monitoring program, conducting regular reviews across our CFD and stockbroking businesses to identify issues before they become problems. When compliance matters do arise, you'll be the trusted problem-solver who ensures incidents are properly recorded, investigated, and resolved.

You'll manage critical regulatory relationships, preparing timely submissions to ASIC and ASX while coordinating responses to regulatory audits and ad-hoc information requests. Your analytical skills will shine as you deliver both scheduled and urgent compliance reporting to senior leadership.

The role extends beyond monitoring; you'll actively shape our compliance culture. You'll design and deliver training programs that help colleagues across the business truly understand their regulatory obligations. You'll advise on business initiatives and projects, ensuring compliance considerations are built in from the start rather than bolted on at the end.

You'll also support the daily heartbeat of our compliance function: tracking regulatory changes, maintaining key registers and procedures, coordinating internal and external audits, and working with our legal team to keep all terms and conditions current.

What will help you be successful?

You’ll bring 1-3 years’ experience in a Compliance role within the Australian financial services industry. You’ll have a solid understanding of the Australian regulatory landscape, including ASIC regulation, ASX Rules, and regulatory reporting requirements, and be comfortable supporting change in a fast-moving regulatory environment.

You’re tertiary qualified in Economics, Law, Business, Accounting, or a related discipline, with working knowledge of stockbroking and CFD operations and systems. You’ll also have strong written and verbal communication skills, an analytical mindset, and a highly organised, self-motivated approach to your work.

You must have full working rights in Australia.
