Key accountabilities include supporting compliance across mobile and telecommunications operations, managing obligations related to ACMA and TIO, and ensuring compliant customer lifecycle processes. You will also review and support the compliance of marketing campaigns and communications, ensuring alignment with Australian Consumer Law and ACCC requirements.
