Job description

Audit & Risk Recruitment are partnering with a leading Fintech organisation in their search for an Internal Audit Manager – Data Analytics, to join their established Internal Audit function. Reporting to the Head of Audit, you will play a key part in delivering the risk-based audit plan while helping the function further develop its use of data analytics across audit activity.

The business is currently preparing for an IPO, having grown significantly from its origins as a payments business. The organisation now operates across a broad technology-led ecosystem, creating an interesting and varied risk environment for Internal Audit.

This role will see you take ownership of end-to-end internal audits across a broad range of business areas. Alongside traditional audit delivery, a key focus of the role will be using data analytics to identify trends, risks and control weaknesses, helping the team take a more data-led approach to assurance.

The role will also provide exposure to technology and IT-related risk, working across areas where business processes, systems and controls intersect. While this is not a specialist IT Audit position, you will need to be comfortable assessing technology-enabled controls and contributing to audits with an IT or systems element.

The successful candidate must have Internal Audit experience within a Financial Services environment, ideally with experience managing or leading audits independently. You will need demonstrable experience using data analytics within Internal Audit. Previous exposure to IT controls, systems or technology-related audits would be highly beneficial.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Internal Auditor looking for a role that combines broad business audit exposure with a focus on data analytics. This is a unique chance to influence how data and technology are used to enhance assurance alongside supporting the continued evolution of the Internal Audit function.

Technical requirements

• SQL, python and/or PowerBI experience
• Internal audit experience gained within a Financial Services and/or Fintech
• Basic understanding of IT general controls (not essential)
