The Role


Reporting into the Head of Risk and General Counsel, you will develop and execute an annual plan to provide compliance and monitoring support to the wider business.

This will entail carrying out audits and reviews to reduce risk, as well as identifying opportunities for improvement.

This is an incredibly influential role in which you will be at the forefront of ensuring that we remain compliant with both our regulatory and internal standards.

The Internal Audit role is a demanding but rewarding one.

To be successful in the role, you will be a proactive individual with self-management skills, with strong interpersonal abilities that allow you to influence at a senior level.

Your career so far may have been in investigation, legal, audit, due diligence or similar roles, reviewing data and processes, interviewing personnel, and obtaining information in order to establish whether policies, procedures, laws or regulations have been adhered to or whether there are opportunities for improvement.

You will have become adept in writing reports and explaining your rationale and findings.

Your experience of working within a regulated industry will mean you are familiar with researching and keeping in touch with regulatory changes, developing and changing review plans and execution accordingly.
