The role
As an Internal Audit Manager, you will work closely with the Director of Internal Audit to ensure the Internal Audit strategy is effectively delivered. You will be responsible for strengthening Railpen’s and the Trustee’s ability to create, protect, and sustain value by providing independent, risk-based, and objective assurance, advice, insight, and foresight.
This role will lead the delivery of the agreed Railpen wide assurance, advisory, and insight plan to time and budget including personal delivery of end-to-end complex engagements, and the management of a small audit team. You’ll be able to share your knowledge and learn from subject matter experts across our business in an environment that continues to transform and grow.
The person
The successful candidate will have experience of working as an Internal Audit Manager, ideally within a regulated organisation. You will have the ability to create audit reports which are clear and concise, with working papers that support the conclusions reached in the audit. To succeed in this role you will be naturally curious in your approach whilst innovating solutions. You will look to develop a collaborative environment whilst supporting the development of your direct reports in an inclusive way through coaching and mentoring.
We are looking for someone who can build collaborative and trusting relationships with a variety of key stakeholders across all areas and levels of the business. You will be an effective communicator with the ability to hold difficult conversations and challenge practices that are not working effectively to enable you to have a real impact and add value in our controls across the business. You will lead by example and share your expertise across the Internal Audit team, helping to drive a culture of continuous improvement.
Our values of integrity, community, and alignment are the guiding principles that influence our behaviour. They help us make decisions and shape our relationships with others. They’re what we stand for. You will actively demonstrate our values, helping to create a safe environment, to place the needs of the community above oneself and, through a culture of ‘fair challenge’, align to the best interests of our members.
