The responsibility of Internal Audit (IA) is to assist the Board and management team in monitoring and reporting upon the effectiveness of business controls & risk management activities throughout Group. As part of this, the role of the Internal Audit Manager is to support the Director of Internal Audit & Risk in providing assurance to the Audit Committee (AC) and the Board, through the establishment of an independent professional internal audit service, that the internal controls throughout the Group’s operations are adequate and fit for purpose.

You’ll be responsible for helping the Group further establish department procedures and ways of working and you will also be responsible for developing and delivering the audit plan by undertaking financial and operational reviews to identify risks and ensure that they are effectively managed.

This role will give you the chance to continue to develop the function into a commercial and pragmatic team that provides independent assurance and adds real value to the business.

The role will be based in the company’s modern Manchester city centre office, with lots of flexibility to work from home 2-3 days per week (hybrid model), and includes some, albeit limited travel to other locations in the UK.
