Job Description

We are currently recruiting an exciting opportunity for a Senior Internal Auditor to join our highly regarded Group Internal Audit team. This is an exciting opportunity to work within a dynamic FTSE 250 financial services group, which includes UK-regulated investment and life insurance subsidiaries and a regulated life insurance entity in the Isle of Man. The Group Internal Audit function is recognised for its pragmatic, collaborative approach to continuous improvement and was awarded Outstanding Financial Services Team of the Year in 2024 by the Chartered Institute of Internal Auditors.

The Role

As a Senior Internal Auditor, you will be responsible for independently leading and delivering full end to end internal audit and advisory engagements in accordance with internal audit standards/ practices and methodology.

Drawing on your knowledge and experience, you will identify key risks, develop and scope robust test plans (including use of data analytics), and prepare audit reports that present information in a clear, concise and compelling way.

You will also take personal responsibility to be proactively involved in leading stakeholder management meetings and will have plenty of opportunities to support the internal audit management team with wider activity (e.g. preparation of Audit and Risk Committee or Executive Committee packs and innovating audit practices). Being a member of a small high calibre team facilitates continuous learning and development to unlock your potential whilst making your working day fulfilling and enjoyable.

Responsibilities include

• Leading internal audits with resilience and enthusiasm as assigned in the Group Internal Audit Plan that will encompass reviews covering, but not limited to, business operational processes, key customer journeys, regulatory compliance, capital adequacy, governance, risk and IT.
• With minimal or little supervision preparing audit scopes and performing audit testing in accordance with professional standards and the Group Internal Audit methodology.
• Drafting audit reports with minimal re-work required that are concise, compelling and clear, in turn highlighting key findings to the Audit and Risk Committees, the Board, and senior management.
• Leading meetings with senior management to validate audit findings, and to develop, in partnership with the business, pragmatic and commercially sound audit recommendations which mitigate the identified risks. This includes being able to reach an agreement with the business over audit findings and having the capability to challenge management assertions.
• Being readily available to support, mentor or line manage any guest auditors (secondees) in the team.
• Being available to support the Group Internal Audit management team with non-internal audit engagement related activity.
• Proactively enhancing the profile of Group Internal Audit by building strong working relationships with senior managers of the Group.
• Understanding the current and developing regulatory and legislative rules and guidance which affect the Group and implementing these learnings into internal audit engagements or the internal audit plan.
