About the job Tech Assurance Assistant Manager / Manager

Technology Assurance Assistant Manager
Location: UK (Hybrid)

A growing Technology Risk function is expanding — and this is a strong step-up role for an experienced IT Auditor ready to take on more ownership, leadership and client exposure.

You'll sit at the heart of delivery across IT Audit and advisory, while starting to shape projects, manage juniors and get involved in commercial activity.

What you'll be doing:

• Deliver and oversee IT Internal Audit engagements
• Support External Audit and broader Technology Risk projects
• Supervise and develop junior team members day-to-day
• Act as a key contact for clients, handling queries and building relationships
• Get involved in proposals, tenders and winning new work
• Support leadership on team strategy, operations and growth

What we're looking for:

• Solid background in IT Audit / Technology Risk (practice or industry)
• Relevant qualification such as CISA (Certified Information Systems Auditor), CISM (Certified Information Security Manager) or ISO27001 Lead Auditor
• Experience mentoring or managing junior staff
• Commercial awareness — comfortable around WIP, fees and delivery
• Exposure to FS or corporate environments (SAP controls a bonus)

Why consider it:

• Clear pathway into Manager and beyond
• Strong mix of audit + advisory work
• Real input into team growth and direction

Ideal for someone moving up from Senior level who wants broader responsibility without losing hands‑on involvement.
