Te tūranga - The role

Working in a highly collaborative team, you will explore and provide insights on major and emerging risks to financial stability. Part of this will be following developments in the financial system and considering any potential vulnerabilities.

In all of this, you will be backed by a positive and supportive team that wants you to thrive.
