Looking for an Internal Audit role with variety and genuine business exposure?

We’re working with a leading FTSE listed retail business who are going through an exciting period of transformation and are looking to strengthen its Internal Audit & Risk team.

This is far more than a tick-box audit role. You will be partnering with stakeholders across the business, challenging how things are done and helping to drive meaningful improvements.

What will you be doing?

• Lead risk based audits from planning and risk assessment through to reporting.
• Assess controls, identify weaknesses and make practical and commercially focussed recommendations.
• Build relationships with stakeholders at all levels and provide constructive challenge.
• Contribute to the annual audit plan, including identifying emerging risks and opportunities for analytics.
• Get involved in ad-hoc reviews and investigations.
• Work closely with first- and second-line risk and control teams.
• Contribute to the continued development of the wider Internal Audit function.

What are we looking for?

• Solid Internal Audit experience across a broad range of business areas.
• Experience delivering end to end reviews in a fast paced environment.
• Strong understanding of risk, controls and audit methodology.
• Excellent stakeholder management skills and the confidence to challenge constructively.
• A commercial, analytical and practical approach.
• ACA, ACCA, CIMA or CIA

This would suit a candidate looking to make a first move out of professional services looking to forge a career in Internal Audit.

The role will be hybrid with 3 days a week working from their London office base.
