We have been selected to build the Internal Audit, Risk and Controls team of an award-winning listed tech & media business. The company is set for massive growth over the next few years and the first mandate with have is to find an Internal Audit, Risk and Controls Manager, who will report to the Director of Audit, Risk and Controls, who in turn reports to the CFO & the Audit Committee (AC), with direct line management of a growing team too.
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 people-management role, you'll be responsible for helping the Group establish department procedures and ways of working as we build the function from scratch with you (likely to be 2-3 more Senior Internal Auditors, who you will directly line-manage). You and your team will also be responsible for developing and delivering the audit plan by undertaking financial and operational reviews to identify risks and ensure that they are effectively managed.
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 accountable for the production of Risk Committee (RC) and Audit Committee (AC) papers and will attend the Committee meetings. Given the level of interaction with Board level and Operational leadership, you will need to possess excellent communication skills, especially in relationship and stakeholder management.
A progressive career trajectory to date would put you in a good position for this role and previous line-management experience is seen as a benefit. This would be an ideal and exciting opportunity for a person looking to progress further in Internal Audit into a line-management position (e.g. currently an Internal Auditor / a Senior Internal Auditor); a Big 4/Top 10 trained Audit Manager / Assurance looking for a move into industry, or a mix of the two.
It's likely you will be a qualified audit/accountancy professional (ACA, ACCA, CIMA etc.), with at least some previous experience based in the UK. The role will be based in the UK Midlands office 2 days per week, with flexibility to work from home otherwise, and some travel to the other global operations (circa 20%). Experience in media/technology would be an advantage, as would some experience working in a Controls-orientated (e.g. SOX) environment.
