Job description

Join Macquarie as a graduate in Internal Audit and build your understanding of our businesses, risk profile and control environment gaining broad exposure across the audit lifecycle. You’ll develop practical audit experience, learn from colleagues across Macquarie and contribute to work that supports sound business decisions.

We are a global financial services group operating in 30 markets with 57 years of unbroken profitability. At Macquarie, you’re empowered to shape a career that is fulfilling and creates value. You will bring your insights and expertise to the task at hand and feel supported as you make your own kind of impact for a better future.

What role will you play?

As a graduate in Internal Audit, you’ll build your understanding of Macquarie’s businesses, risk profile and control environment while contributing to audits across the organisation. You’ll work with stakeholders across our business and support teams, develop commercial insight, examine evidence and data, and contribute to clear, well-supported conclusions and recommendations.

Depending on your individual role, you could be:

• supporting audits across the lifecycle, from understanding business processes and risks through to testing controls and contributing to conclusions
• engaging with senior stakeholders across business and support teams to understand processes, challenge control design and develop commercial insight
• executing audit testing by analysing evidence, reviewing data and assessing whether controls are operating effectively
• applying professional judgement to evaluate risks, identify themes and form clear, well-supported conclusions and recommendations
• helping shape audit issues that support strong governance, risk management and business outcomes through independent assurance and risk insight
• working with Internal Audit colleagues across portfolios, regions and specialist risk areas, gaining exposure to a broad range of Macquarie businesses

During this twelve‑month programme, you’ll complete two six‑month rotations, with exposure to four Internal Audit teams. You’ll be encouraged to examine problems from every angle, challenge the status quo and come up with new and innovative ways of progressing our business while being supported by an inclusive team.

As a graduate, you will:

• Take part in an orientation to learn about Macquarie business groups, with your fellow analysts and expand your professional network.
• Receive formal training, including technical training and presentation skills, but at its core the programme provides practical on‑the‑job learning to further your career. If you have ideas that have merit, we’ll give you the opportunity to develop and test them to create new possibilities.
• Build strong connections and work collaboratively while also partnering directly with our business leaders on meaningful and challenging work.
• Receive support from your manager and aligned mentor as you gain genuine insight into our industry.
• Be encouraged to give back through the Macquarie Group Foundation which provides support to hundreds of community organisations each year through financial support, volunteering and skills sharing.

What you offer

You have a unique perspective. We want to hear it. We welcome applications from final‑year undergraduate and master’s degree students who will graduate in January to July 2027.

• You are studying Data Science, Technology, a quantitative, modelling or behavioural science discipline, Accounting, Finance, Economics, Business, Commerce, Law or a related field. You are driven, take initiative and approach new challenges with curiosity and commercial thinking.
• You are an analytical thinker who can review information critically and communicate clearly.
• You work well in a team and build effective relationships with a range of stakeholders.
• You demonstrate accountability and integrity in your work.

Applications close on 30 October 2026. We recommend that you submit your application as early as possible as we recruit on a rolling basis.
