This is a BAF^® Best Accredited Professional Forward request. ICG is seeking interested and available professionals to respond to a service request.

Client

A Tier 1 Australian bank requires a Program Manager to complete the implementation of the Entity setup stream for its new Superannuation and Investments structure.

• Finalisation of the new Entity’s setup
• Preparation and submission of papers for Regulator approval
• Preparation of Board papers
• Development and implementation of a new operating model (governance, organizational design, service arrangements, processes, etc) to operationalise the new Entity.

The individual will direct, work with, and be supported by an existing team to complete the implementation of this project stream. With a direct team of approximately 20FTE, plus support from various 3rd party Legal and Tax advisors, the Program Manager will liaise directly with the Business Owner on a daily basis and face into obtaining the required regulatory approvals needed to setup the new entity.

• Excellent stakeholder management with the ability to influence individuals to deliver best outcomes for all stakeholders
• Excellent presentation and communication skills with a strong focus on accuracy of statements
• Experience in commercial and legal dealings
• Experience within Financial Services and specifically within the Wealth and Superannuation domains.
• An understanding of Stronger Super and Successor Fund Transfer processes is preferred though not essential.
