Job description

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced internal audit professional to join a growing team within a well-established professional services business, based in their Manchester office.

This is a varied, client-facing role where you'll deliver internal audit, assurance and advisory assignments across a diverse portfolio of organisations. You'll take ownership of key areas of engagements, assessing risks and controls, analysing evidence and developing practical recommendations that genuinely add value.

You'll work closely with senior colleagues and client stakeholders, while also supporting and coaching more junior members of the team. It's a great opportunity for someone looking to broaden their exposure, develop their advisory skills and progress within a supportive environment.

You'll ideally be qualified or studying towards a relevant professional qualification (CIA, CIIA, ACA, ACCA or equivalent), with UK experience across internal audit, risk, controls or assurance. Strong communication, analytical and stakeholder management skills are important, alongside flexibility to undertake some client-site travel, and attend the office 3 days a week.

Applicants must already have full UK working rights and relevant UK-based experience. Unfortunately, visa sponsorship is not available for this position.
