Job description

A leading UK financial services organisation has engaged me exclusively to hire two experienced Audit Managers to join a high-performing Internal Audit team covering wealth and asset management. The team also supports private banking and has exposure to the broader banking business, offering excellent long-term optionality to deepen specialism or broaden your remit over time.

These roles sit within a well-regarded function and provide strong exposure across a complex and evolving business, including wealth, investments and advisory activities. You will lead end-to-end audit engagements, delivering high-quality, risk-based assurance while building strong relationships with senior stakeholders.

The team is growing, creating an excellent opportunity to step into a top-end Audit Manager role with real visibility and influence. In many organisations, this would be considered a Senior Manager position.

You will lead audit assignments, assess key risks and controls, provide meaningful insights to the business, and support the development of more junior team members. You will also play a key role in shaping audit coverage across a highly regulated environment.

Candidates should have strong internal audit experience within financial services, ideally with exposure to wealth and/or asset management. Knowledge of regulatory themes such as Consumer Duty and conduct risk would be beneficial. Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to operate credibly at senior levels are essential.

The roles offer an excellent work-life balance, a collaborative culture and very flexible hybrid working. London is preferred, although other UK locations may be considered.

This is a rare opportunity to join a high-calibre team at a time of growth, with excellent long-term progression prospects.
