Job description

My client is a fast growing, highly profitable international bank with a strong internal audit function operating out of their City of London offices. Due to an internal promotion, we are seeking someone to join this team as an experienced Senior IT Audit Manager (VP Grade) to assist in the delivery of the IT internal audit plan.

As a VP Audit Manager you will be responsible for delivering end to end IT audits and will manage a small team whilst delivering each audit. Stakeholder engagement will be an important part of the role and we seek someone who has extensive experience in this area.

Specific responsibilities will include:

• Running and leading a portfolio of audits across the applications and infrastructure space
• Managing a team of up to 4 audit professionals whilst delivering the audits.
• Managing and developing senior stakeholder relationships across the business.
• Embedding a strong risk management and control culture across the corporation.
• The audits can be in technically complex and highly regulated areas, large assignments, including theme audits across more than one business. These are scheduled so that some will overlap so that two assignments may be open at the same time, closing one and planning another, and as VP Audit Manager you will be able to manage both successfully.

We seek a technical IT audit professional who is either CISA or CISSP qualified ideally from a banking background. You will have technical expertise and demonstrable knowledge of Cyber Risks and a clear understanding of the risk and internal control environment relevant to the information technology being audited which may include:

• Firewalls (Check Point, Palo Alto, Cisco)
• Networks (Cisco)
• Windows including Azure
• Office 365
• Unix/Linux
• Database Management Systems (Oracle, SQL Server)
• IBM Websphere

This is a global and well-established bank that has interests in many different areas. My client is entering an aggressive growth phase and so applicants from existing VPs who are seeking an environment with internal promotion opportunities are welcomed.

We are interested in talking to applicants from a commercial/investment banking internal audit (or second line) background.

Strong interpersonal and communication skills and the ability to work on your own and lead a team are essential. Opportunities for career progression within Audit, Controls or the wider banking group are excellent and can be achieved rapidly. This is the reason the role is open.

£six figure base plus benefits and strong bonus potential. The bonus pays twice a year and is above average.

Please note that applicants must have UK right to work as this client will not offer sponsorship either now or in the future.
