About The Role

Join our Internal Audit function as an Internal Audit Manager, where you will play a key role in developing and delivering the company's internal audit plan, executing end-to-end audits, and providing independent assurance and advisory services while engaging with key stakeholders at senior levels. This is a hands-on role, ideal for someone with strong audit expertise and commercial acumen.  

About You

We are looking for analytical and critical thinking where you have the ability to see beyond the obvious and connect the dots across complex operations. You are comfortable dealing with ambiguity and making sense of incomplete or evolving information. With experience, you have gained the ability to solve problems where you focus not only on what happened but also on why it happened. 

You are someone who is a strong relationship builder and can naturally build rapport with stakeholders at all levels in the company. You will be skilled at balancing objectivity with collaboration. You will be a trusted advisor who can challenge constructively whilst maintaining respectful relationships. 

You have excellent communication skills, able to write in an impactful and succinct manner, capable of tailoring to different audiences. You are skilled at asking the right questions to elicit valuable insights from stakeholders. You are also a strong oral communicator, able to explain complex risks or technical issues in plain language. You can frame audit findings in terms of business impact and value-add, not just from a compliance perspective. 

You are highly organised and self-motivated with strong management skills as you will be expected to work independently. 

Professional courage and integrity are of utmost importance in our function as we uphold the highest ethical standards and confidentiality where we are confident in voicing concerns or highlighting difficult issues to senior stakeholders, even when these may be unpopular. 

You embrace a growth mindset being a continuous learner, proactively staying up-to-date on relevant issues and best audit practices. You are open to feedback and always looking for ways to improve personally and professionally. 
 
Minimum criteria
You will need the following as a minimum: 
  • A professional qualification or designation (e.g. ACA, ACCA, CIA, CISA or equivalent)
  • Considerable experience in internal audit, risk management or internal controls capable of conducting end-to-end audits in both an assurance and an advisory capacity
  • Strong knowledge of the International Professional Practices Framework for Internal Auditors, risk management and governance principles
  • Experience attending and contributing to company governance forums is beneficial
  • Experience with Data Analytics or Information Technology auditing is a plus
  • Experience auditing Insurance processes is a plus 
  • Experience supporting a Head of Audit in past roles is desirable
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills
  • Ability to build credibility and influence senior stakeholders
  • Strategic mindset with attention to detail
  • High integrity and professional scepticism
  • Strong project management and organisational skills, with awareness of agile methodologies being beneficial
