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
• Confidence presenting and facilitating learning for groups with different levels of technical knowledge and experience
• 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.

If you are an experienced Audit professional who has enjoyed coaching teams, facilitated technical training sessions or developed materials and would like to make this a greater focus of your career, we'd love to hear from you.
