About this role

An opportunity has become available for a National Audit Learning Manager to join our collaborative and diverse Audit team.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced Audit professional who enjoys developing others, researching technical topics, creating technical content and facilitating learning and wants to use their Audit experience in a different way.

Working closely with the Head of Learning—Audit and subject matter experts, you will support the development and delivery of technical learning across our national Audit practice. You will help refresh existing learning content, create new learning content by translating complex technical requirements into practical training, and facilitate engaging learning sessions for our people.

You don't need to come from a traditional Learning & Development background. What is important is your technical Accounting and Audit knowledge, your ability to communicate complex concepts clearly, and a genuine interest in helping others develop their technical capability.

The role supports technical learning across different career levels within Audit, from Graduate to Partner.

Key responsibilities

• Develop, maintain and refresh technical Audit learning content, ensuring materials remain relevant and technically accurate

• Develop learning materials for both digital learning, and live face-to-face learning programs, including: Presentations, facilitator guides, podcast scripts, videos, practical examples, case studies and supporting resources.
• Support the delivery of onboarding and induction programs for new Audit team members.

Skills & experience

We're looking for someone who brings strong technical Audit and Accounting foundations and enjoys sharing that knowledge with others. You will ideally have:

• A minimum of five years' external Audit experience, ideally gained within a professional services environment
• Strong working knowledge of auditing and accounting standards
• The ability to understand complex technical Audit and Accounting concepts and turn them into clear, practical learning content for professionals and various levels
• Experience supporting the development of others through coaching, facilitation, and technical training

• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Excellent attention to detail, organisation and time management
• A collaborative approach and confidence working with subject matter experts and senior stakeholders
• A genuine interest in learning, capability development and helping Audit professionals grow their technical expertise

Importantly, experience as an Learning & Development specialist would be helpful, but is not essential.
