About the Risk Management Group

Macquarie’s Risk Management Group (RMG) is an independent, central unit responsible for ensuring all risks are appropriately assessed, understood and managed across Macquarie. Graduates from a range of disciplines including commerce, engineering and law will benefit from our model which works as an extension of the deal team, giving high levels of responsibility and autonomy to high achievers early in their career.

• Compliance has global oversight for Macquarie's business activities and oversees measures to ensure compliance with applicable regulations and laws in Australia and internationally, as well as with obligations of fidelity and confidence to clients and counterparties.
