Reporting directly to the Head of Internal Audit, you will take ownership of complex audit assignments and provide independent assurance over governance, risk management, and internal controls.

The position is primarily focused on audit delivery rather than people management, making it ideal for individuals who enjoy leading audits from planning through to completion while engaging directly with senior stakeholders.

Audit Delivery

Ensure audits are delivered in line with the approved audit plan and relevant regulatory expectations. Assess key business risks, evaluate control frameworks and identify opportunities for improvement.

Monitor emerging risks and maintain an ongoing understanding of assigned areas of responsibility. Prepare clear, concise and high‑quality audit reports for senior management and governance committees. Agree management actions, track remediation progress and validate the effectiveness of corrective measures.

Build strong working relationships with senior leaders and key stakeholders across the organisation. Provide independent challenge and constructive recommendations on risk and control matters. Communicate audit findings effectively, ensuring issues are clearly understood and appropriately addressed.

Risk & Control Assurance Evaluate the design and effectiveness of controls across operational, financial,



regulatory and risk management processes. Review compliance with internal policies, procedures and relevant regulatory requirements. Consider technology, data and operational risk factors as part of audit planning and execution.

Deliver practical, value‑adding recommendations that strengthen the control workplace.

Continuous Improvement

Support the ongoing development of audit methodologies, tools and working practices. Contribute to the use of data analytics and innovative audit techniques. Provide support to the Head of Internal Audit when required to help ensure continuity of audit activities.

We're looking for an experienced internal audit professional who can operate independently, manage multiple priorities and build credibility with senior stakeholders. 6+ years' experience within Internal Audit, preferably gained within financial services or another regulated environment. ~ Strong understanding of risk management, governance and internal control frameworks. ~ Experience leading end‑to‑end audits with minimal supervision. ~ Knowledge of financial, regulatory and operational risk areas. ~ Ability to influence and challenge senior stakeholders in a professional and constructive manner. ~ Strong report‑writing and communication skills.
