As we continue to grow nationally and diversify as an organisation, we are strengthening the way we manage and protect personal information across HBF. As our Senior Privacy Manager, you’ll lead the development and implementation of HBF’s privacy framework, ensuring we meet the requirements of the Privacy Act, the Australian Privacy Principles and emerging regulatory expectations. 

You’ll shape our privacy strategy, influence how data is collected and handled, and act as a trusted advisor on complex or high‑risk matters across the business. You’ll also partner closely with Cyber, Data Governance, Legal and senior stakeholders to solve complex privacy challenges in a rapidly evolving landscape.  

 
Your day to day 
Privacy Strategy & Governance: Develop and maintain HBF’s enterprise‑wide privacy frameworks, policies, standards and training. You will lead privacy strategy and mature our governance approach, ensuring alignment with APPs and best practice. 
Advisory & Consultation: Provide expert advice on new initiatives, digital technologies and projects involving personal information while partnering with Cyber, Legal, Data Governance and Technology to deliver integrated, safe data practices.
Compliance & Risk Management: Lead Privacy Impact Assessments, coordinate responses to privacy incidents, breaches, access requests and complaints while consistently reviewing privacy controls and supporting uplift initiatives.
Training & Awareness: Deliver privacy training and awareness programs to uplift capability and foster a strong privacy culture across HBF while monitoring regulatory changes, ensuring timely implementation and compliance.  

About You 
You’re an experienced privacy professional with a strategic mindset and the credibility to influence senior stakeholders, turning complex legal and regulatory requirements into practical, business‑friendly solutions.  

You naturally build strong working relationships, whether you’re advising senior leaders, partnering with Cyber, Risk, Legal or Technology teams, or navigating a sensitive, high‑risk privacy issue. You bring a strong understanding of the Privacy Act 1988 and the APPs and you’re comfortable translating complex legal and regulatory requirements into practical, workable solutions HBF can use. 

With the ability to work independently and as a collaborative partner, you enjoy solving problems at both strategic and operational levels, and you’re confident challenging thinking when something isn’t quite right. Your analytical mindset, strong writing skills, and ability to influence make you someone others rely on when privacy risks or questions arise.
