About the role
An established financial services organization is seeking an experienced Internal Audit Manager to join its audit team. The position provides broad exposure across the organization and an opportunity to work directly with business leaders on risk, controls, governance, and operational effectiveness. The successful candidate will independently manage audit engagements while developing a strong understanding of the businesses and functions being reviewed.
Primary Responsibilities:
- Plan and execute risk-based audit engagements from initial scoping through final reporting
- Evaluate business processes, controls, governance, and risk-management practices
- Identify control weaknesses and develop practical, commercially appropriate recommendations
- Present audit observations and recommendations to business stakeholders
- Monitor remediation of previously identified issues
- Participate in risk assessments and audit-planning activities
- Evaluate new and emerging areas of organizational risk
- Lead multiple engagements and coordinate resources as required
- Contribute to enhancements in audit methodology, tools, and processes
- Develop productive relationships with senior stakeholders while maintaining appropriate independence
Candidate Profile:
- Candidates should have approximately 7+ years of Internal Audit, risk, controls, or related experience, ideally gained within financial services or another complex regulated environment.
- The position requires experience independently leading audit engagements, a strong understanding of internal controls and risk assessment, and the ability to evaluate both business processes and supporting technology.
- A bachelor's degree is required, and relevant professional certifications are beneficial.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills are particularly important, as this individual will regularly interact with business leaders and senior stakeholders.
The strongest candidates will be commercially aware auditors who can challenge constructively rather than simply identify exceptions. They will understand how to translate audit findings into improvements that make sense for the business.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
