Australian Super has appointed its first chief officer, retirement and a new chief member officer. 

Shawn Blackmore, who had been the fund's group executive member experience since 2013, would take up the chief officer, retirement role while Rose Kerlin would become the new chief member officer. 

Kerlin was previously group executive of membership and brand. 

The fund said the new roles were part of a reconsideration by the fund of executive accountabilities which was designed to ensure the fund was well positioned for future growth.

Blackmore said: "Retirement isn’t simply a product solution. It is about combining product, service and advice into an offering that is accessible to all members regardless of their account balance.

"Every member’s retirement journey is different, and our role is to ensure that they have the confidence they need to spend the superannuation savings they have worked so hard for throughout their working lives to achieve the kind of retirement they want."

Meanwhile, Kerlin's role would involve end to end accountability for ensuring AustralianSuper members enjoyed a seamless journey with the fund, including access to products and services and guidance and advice.
