• Professionally qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) and/or Internal Audit qualification (CMIIA, CIA or equivalent).
• Strong knowledge of corporate governance, risk management, internal control frameworks and Internal Audit professional standards.
• Proven ability to engage and influence senior stakeholders, including executive leadership teams, Audit Committees and Board members, whilst maintaining appropriate independence and objectivity.
