Job description

Who we are

At Grant Thornton we're building something bold. We're doing things differently - looking to the future, driving ambitious growth and pioneering positive change in our industry. Providing audit, tax and advisory services, we empower clients through strategic insight, curiosity, and genuine partnership. And we empower our people with real opportunity. Our journey from great to exceptional is well underway. With significant investment behind us and a clear strategy for growth, there's real momentum. Our Agile Talent Community (ATC) brings together experienced contract professionals who want choice without losing connection. You work where you add the most value, alongside teams who treat you as a partner rather than a placeholder.

Joining us in Business Risk Services

We help and support clients achieve their strategic goals by guiding them through new legislation changes and helping to navigate accounting, regulatory, technology and operating model change. The world around us is changing and our teams help clients remain agile and adapt to these changes and stay ahead of the competition.

Grant Thornton's Business Risk Services (BRS) team provides market-leading risk, control and governance services, working with clients across a variety of industries and beyond.

If you're an experienced Interim IT General Controls Internal Auditor who's tired of choosing between freedom and meaningful work, there's another route. Within our Business Risk Services team, you'll be given the opportunity to take on short- to medium-term projects that sharpen your expertise, stretch your thinking, and give you a different angle on familiar challenges - all without locking you into a single path.

We are offering the ability to engage with us via inside IR35 terms.

Skills we are looking for

• IT audit experience across a range of areas, with a strong foundation in IT general controls including user access management and change control.
• Multi-disciplinary expertise, such as cyber security, disaster recovery and resilience, and third-party risk or supplier assurance.
• An understanding of IT strategy, infrastructure and asset management.
• Knowledge of contemporary environments including cloud technologies, networking, and large-scale programme or transformation assurance.
• Assurance experience over ERP platforms such as SAP S/4HANA and Oracle Fusion.
• Awareness of data protection requirements, wider information security practices, and software delivery approaches including DevOps and DevSecOps.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to work independently across multiple client engagements.

Why Consultants choose the ATC

Work that moves you forward

When a project fits your skills, we'll get in touch, but you choose whether it's right for you. That means working on engagements that genuinely build your portfolio and expand your expertise.

The freedom of contracting without the hidden admin

You're not left to navigate the freelance world alone. Our Agile Talent team helps you understand freelance regulation and connects you with people who broaden your thinking through our teams and clients.

Community you can actually feel

Connection shouldn't disappear just because you're contracting. From market insights to wellbeing sessions to networking events, you'll be part of a community designed to make the independent path less isolated and more impactful.

Our culture and values

We have a culture where talented people thrive - where high performance is not just expected but enabled. It's a culture built on clarity, curiosity, and care. One that challenges us to aim higher, where we're encouraged to make the most of an abundance of resources to fuel our own development, and where we support each other to grow, learn, and succeed.

Our open and accessible culture means you'll interact with leaders who are interested in you and everything you bring to our firm. The things that set you apart, we value them. That's why we give you the freedom to bring your whole self to work and pursue your passions inside and outside of work.
