Job description

Internal Auditor / IT Compliance Auditor

Manchester | Hybrid Working (1–2 Days in Office) | Up to £45,000

Are you an experienced auditor or compliance professional looking to take the next step in your career within a growing technology business?

We're working with an established and innovative financial technology company that’s looking to bring an Internal Auditor into its team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with experience in internal audit, IT compliance, information security or GRC who wants to broaden their exposure, take ownership of key audit activities and play an important role in maintaining high standards across the business.

The Role

You’ll be responsible for supporting and coordinating internal and external audits, ensuring the business continues to meet its regulatory, security and compliance obligations.

Working closely with stakeholders across the organisation, you’ll have the opportunity to get involved in a variety of audit activities and contribute to the ongoing development of its risk and compliance processes.

Key responsibilities include:

• Planning, coordinating and conducting internal audits across the business.
• Supporting external audits and certification assessments.
• Working with recognised frameworks including PCI-DSS, Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001.
• Reviewing internal controls, identifying risks and recommending improvements.
• Gathering and maintaining audit evidence and compliance documentation.
• Collaborating with internal teams to ensure audit findings are addressed effectively.
• Supporting continuous improvement across governance, risk and compliance processes.

What We’re Looking For

We’re keen to speak with candidates who have experience in audit, IT compliance, information security or governance, risk and compliance.

Ideally, you’ll bring:

• Previous experience conducting or supporting internal or external audits.
• Knowledge of information security or compliance frameworks such as PCI-DSS, Cyber Essentials or ISO 27001.
• An understanding of IT systems, security controls and risk management.
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
• Confidence working with stakeholders across different departments.
• The ability to manage audit activities independently and communicate findings clearly.

Experience within fintech, financial services or a technology-led environment would be beneficial, but isn’t essential.

You don’t need to have worked exclusively as an Internal Auditor. We’re also interested in candidates from IT assurance, information security compliance and GRC backgrounds who have relevant audit experience.

What’s on Offer?

• Salary up to £45,000 depending on experience.
• Hybrid working, with just 1–2 days per week in the Manchester office.
• The opportunity to work within an established, growing fintech business.
• Exposure to multiple internationally recognised security and compliance frameworks.
• A varied role with genuine responsibility and the opportunity to develop your expertise.

Interested?

If you have experience in audit, IT compliance or GRC and would like to explore an opportunity within a growing technology business, we’d love to hear from you.
