Paul Schroder (born 1966 or 1967[1]) is a former trade union official, and current chair of AustralianSuper.[2][3][4][1]

Paul spent 20 years working in the Australian union movement before joining AustralianSuper. During this time he worked for the Finance Sector Union.[5]

in 2007 he joined AustralianSuper as the fund's general manager of business development.[2] He later was promoted to the role of chief risk officer, prior to his appointment to chair the fund in 2021 as the replacement for Ian Silk.[5]

His appointment to the role of AustralianSuper chair in 2021 was controversial. Journalists in The Age criticised the fund's decision to appoint him chair to replace Ian Silk instead of pursuing an international search process.[6] Of the appointment, they said it 'did little to rescue the super sector's reputation as a storehouse for former Labor/union types'.[6]

As of 2023 his annual remuneration as the fund's chair amounted to $1.14m.[7]

He has publicly advocated for reforms of the superannuation system for the benefit of unpaid female carers.[8]
