I have been selected to build the Internal Audit team of an award-winning FTSE listed construction and engineering business, who have previously co-sourced with a Big 4 provider on an exclusive basis. The current mandate we have is to recruit a Senior Internal Auditor.
The role will be based in c. London, reporting to the Director of Assurance and Risk and Senior Internal Audit Manager, who in turn report into the Audit Committee (AC) and interact daily with the Group CFO. The primary part of this role is to identify risks within the business and evaluate the adequacy of controls in place in order to minimise and mitigate those risks, whilst prioritising their importance.
In this hands-on role, you'll be responsible for helping the Director and Senior Manager establish department procedures and ways of working as we build the function from scratch. You will also be responsible for undertaking financial and operational reviews to identify risks and ensure that they are effectively managed.
This would be an ideal and exciting opportunity for a person looking to progress in an internal audit function as this role will give you the chance to help develop the function into a commercial and pragmatic team that provides independent assurance and adds real value to the business. As part of this, you will also be involved in the production of Risk Committee (RC) and Audit Committee (AC) papers and interact with stakeholders of all levels. Travel is expected and will be around the various operations around the UK and internationally, c. 40-50% - this one of the higher travel roles we recruit in the UK, so we are looking for people who love it!
We are looking for an audit/accountancy professional, who possesses excellent communication skills (in English) especially in relationship and stakeholder management. You will likely be a well-educated, practice-trained audit, advisory or finance professional; previous IA / Risk Advisory experience will be helpful, as would a relevant qualification (ACA, ACCA, CPA, CA, CIA, etc.), but neither is mandatory.
This role will put you in a great position for promotion as the next step for you would be Manager, then Senior Manager (in the IA function, or beyond in a business or finance role.
