確立された任務

Explanation:
Is "the organization" an international organization such as the United Nations? Then, "established functions" should simply translate as （歴史的に）"確立された任務", I think.

主な5つの役割

Explanation:
組織ですから、これまでに「行ってきた」「既存の」事業（業務）ということでしょう。
ただし「既存」は日本語では「新規」の反語として
「古くてマンネリ化している」ということなのか？
みたいな印象も与えかねず、意味がブレてくると思います。
「確立された業務」としても、established がそこまで「確立」していると言い切れるかどうかはわかりません。「一応手応えはわかっている」ぐらいかもしれませんから。
もちろん強調表現をシフトさせる（日本語として、別の表現を選ぶ）必要があるかどうかは文脈次第です。

既定の職責や職務

Explanation:
こういった場合の”function(s)”の意味としては、「職責、職務、職務（職掌）上の役割・役目　=　the act of executing or performing any duty, office, or calling; performance」があてはまると思います。”duties”にも似たような意味がありますが、これら二つの語が同時に使われる場合は、以下のように訳し分けられます。
Functions and Duties: 　
Assuming the role of the S.O. or the "Architect" under the xxx form of contract or other forms of contract used and performing all functions and duties of the S.O./Architect in respect of the conditions of contract, like issuing instructions, certifying payments, extension of time, non-completion, practical completion, etc.
この”Functions and Duties”は「職責と職務」と訳されます。
　〔例文〕　discharge a function 　職責を果たす
