Job description

Irish financial services risk is a small world. You know heads of internal audit and CROs by their first names, and a few of them still ring you when they want a second opinion. At this firm, that matters. Many of the team's client wins come through references, and they're building a department around people the market already trusts.

We've partnered with one of Ireland's fastest growing advisory firms, building out its financial services internal audit practice in Dublin. You'd join as one of the senior voices in the practice, lead engagements across banks, insurers, payment firms and asset managers, and help decide which clients the team goes after next. Your reputation will shape how quickly the practice grows, and you'll have a real say in the methodology it runs on.

You’ll be on the ground in Ireland with Irish financial services market experience. That part is key, as the firm needs someone on board and on their feet quickly. As Senior Manager, you'd come in and make a big impact from day one in a strategic, high visibility role. Experienced Managers who are ready for that step up, and would thrive with the responsibility, are very welcome to apply too.

What you’ll be doing

• Leading internal audits across financial services clients, covering governance, risk, compliance and operations
• Owning planning, risk assessments and scoping, and signing off on fieldwork
• Assessing control design and operating effectiveness, and turning findings into reports boards act on
• Keeping clients ahead of regulatory change and developments
• Building client relationships and bringing in new work through your network
• Leading and developing the team
• Shaping methodology and sector insight as the practice grows

About you

• 8+ years in internal audit/risk experience in Big Four/Top 10 firm
• Irish financial services client experience
• SOX experience is a big plus
• Experience running multiple engagements and leading a team
• Strong commercial acumen (You enjoy the business development side as much as the audit itself)
• On the ground in Ireland now
