Job description

This is an excellent opportunity to join a well-established financial services organisation in the West Midlands, where you’ll play a key role in delivering a risk-based internal audit plan across a diverse range of business areas.

Primarily, you’ll lead and deliver end-to-end internal audit reviews, contribute to project assurance activity, produce high-quality reports, and build strong relationships across the business. This role offers genuine variety and the chance to make a visible impact while working with senior leadership.

We’re looking for a professionally qualified internal auditor (CIA, ACA, ACCA or equivalent) with strong internal audit experience ideally gained within financial services, although there could be some flexibility if you’re coming from a large complex/commercial organisation. You’ll be an analytical thinker with excellent communication skills, knowledge of risk-based auditing, and ideally exposure to change assurance, data analytics or technology audit.

To be considered, you must have full right to work in the UK and hopefully some relevant UK financial services internal audit experience. Unfortunately, visa sponsorship is not available for this position. If you’re looking for a role where your work will be valued and your career can continue to develop, we’d be delighted to hear from you.

This role can be carried out on a hybrid basis, and whilst flexibility is offered, the expectation is two days a week in the office.
