About this opportunity

Do you want to join a leading internal audit function to gain exposure to a wide range of risk modelling, capital assessment and other analytical techniques across banking and insurance businesses?

As a Manager within the Models Audit team, you will utilise your technical expertise to support the delivery of the audit plan by implementing risk-based audits.

• lead and deliver on complex audits of high quality, independent assurance and agree management actions to enhance the control framework to agreed plan.
• establish and build relationships with stakeholders to educate the business in the control framework and influence business processes and required actions to deliver control improvements.
• work collaboratively across the risk / business audit matrix to develop an understanding of business priorities and risk appetite relevant to assigned Audits, identify key controls, and evaluate their design effectiveness requiring only light supervision.
• define, propose, and complete testing of key controls for assigned Audits to evaluate their operational effectiveness requiring only light supervision, before highlighting any control deficiencies to be included in Draft Audit Reports.
• deliver Audits within agreed timescales, through collaboration with other colleagues keeping Portfolio Leads (PL) updated on progress and raising issues and concerns promptly.
• motivate, develop, and collaborate within own team and across the wider function to drive higher performance and sustained results.
