Audit Manager

Our technology and data environment is growing fast. So is the complexity of the risks within it.

• Identifyrisks in our technology and data landscape and turn findings into clear, practical recommendations
• Engage senior stakeholders across tech and data teams to ensure audit outcomes lead to real change
• Stay current with emerging technology risks and apply that knowledge directly to audit planning

What we're looking for

• At least 2 years’ managerial experience in a banking environment, managing a team of 5 or more
• At least 5 years' IT/Technology audit experience
• Strong, provenexpertisein cybersecurity, complex SDLCprocesses,and cloud environments — this is the core of the role

• A self-directed work style, you take ownership and see things through
• Experience leading full audit cycles independently, from planning through to reporting
• The ability to communicate complex technical findings clearly to non-technical stakeholders
• Prepare and present audit reports that are sharp,balancedand easy to act on
• Monitor the implementation of agreed audit actions and track progress through to completion
