Our client offers a professional environment where individuals are trusted with responsibility, encouraged to think critically, and supported as they grow. As part of an international network, the firm combines global standards with a locally grounded, client-focused approach, providing close client interaction, meaningful exposure, and the opportunity to see the real impact of one’s work.
The firm is growing within a dynamic business environment and continues to invest in its people, creating opportunities for those who are motivated to develop, contribute, and progress.
Our client is seeking an experienced Internal Audit Manager to join and help shape its expanding Internal Audit practice. This opportunity is suited to a high-calibre professional seeking more than a purely execution-focused role—someone who wants to influence strategy, build and develop teams, strengthen client relationships, and play a key role in the evolution of a market-leading internal audit function.
The role offers exposure to a diverse portfolio of clients across highly regulated industries, delivering insight-driven assurance and advisory services that strengthen governance, risk management, and internal control frameworks. The successful candidate will operate with a high degree of autonomy while working closely with the Director of Internal Audit on client engagements, practice development, and strategic initiatives.
For individuals who consistently demonstrate strong leadership, commercial awareness, and the ability to grow both people and client relationships, this role provides a clear pathway to senior leadership within the Internal Audit practice.
The firm’s culture is built on integrity, accountability, and mutual respect. Employees are trusted to take ownership, contribute ideas, and collaborate across teams and service lines.
Continuous learning and professional development are actively supported, while maintaining high professional standards. As the firm grows, it remains focused on fostering an environment where people feel supported, challenged, and motivated to deliver their best work.
The Internal Audit Manager will be responsible for:
Leading and managing internal audit engagements from planning through execution, reporting, and follow-up
Reviewing and developing risk-based audit scopes, methodologies, and testing strategies tailored to client risk profiles
Delivering high-impact audit reports that provide practical, forward-looking insights to senior management and Boards
Presenting audit findings and recommendations to executive management, Audit Committees, and Boards
Acting as a trusted advisor to clients on governance, risk, compliance, and internal control matters
Building, mentoring, and developing high-performing internal audit teams, fostering a culture of quality, accountability, and continuous improvement
Overseeing and quality-reviewing work performed by internal team members and co-sourced service providers
Supporting client onboarding, relationship management, and the development of risk-based annual internal audit plans
Contributing to business development initiatives, proposals, and the expansion of the Internal Audit service offering
Driving enhancements to internal audit methodologies, tools, and quality standards in line with best practice
Playing an active role in shaping the future leadership and strategic direction of the Internal Audit practice
The ideal candidate will have:
A Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline
A professional certification such as CIA, CPA, CISA, or equivalent (strongly preferred)
At least five years of internal audit experience, including a minimum of two years in a supervisory or managerial capacity
Strong knowledge of risk-based auditing and experience within regulated environments
Proven ability to lead teams, manage complex engagements, and engage confidently with senior stakeholders
Excellent analytical, judgement, and problem-solving skills
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence at executive and Board level
A commercial mindset with the ambition and capability to assume broader leadership responsibilities within a professional services firm
A high level of integrity, professionalism, and commitment to delivering value to clients
Prior experience in professional services, which is considered a strong advantage due to the advisory and client-facing nature of the role
Our client provides an environment where professionals can build long-term careers through meaningful work, responsibility, and continuous development.
The role offers exposure to a diverse client base, collaboration within an international network, and development through structured learning combined with on-the-job experience. Career progression is based on performance and contribution, supported by open communication and regular feedback.
Above all, the firm offers a workplace where people are trusted, supported, and encouraged to grow both professionally and personally as part of an organisation focused on building for the future.
