Are you ready to play a key role in driving continuous improvement and safeguarding the future of one of the UK’s largest manufacturing businesses?

At Tata Steel, we’re transforming for a sustainable future – and our Internal Audit team is at the heart of ensuring robust governance, effective risk management, and operational excellence.

The Role

As a Senior Auditor, you’ll organise, supervise, and conduct audits across Tata Steel UK and, where appropriate, within the wider Tata Steel Group. You’ll provide senior management with independent insight into key risks, the effectiveness of internal controls, and opportunities to strengthen our systems and processes.

This role offers real variety – from auditing high-risk areas and advising stakeholders, to mentoring junior colleagues and helping shape the way we approach audit through new tools and techniques such as data analytics and agile auditing.

What you’ll do

• Lead and conduct audits, evaluating internal controls and providing practical, cost-effective recommendations.
• Provide high-quality reports and insights to senior stakeholders, up to and including the Board.
• Advise on risk management during business system development projects.
• Support the development of junior auditors and guest auditors.
• Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, effectiveness, and value within the Internal Audit function.
• Build strong, influential relationships across a wide range of stakeholders and functions.

What you’ll need

We’re looking for a qualified, experienced auditor with strong commercial and business awareness. You’ll need to be comfortable working across disciplines, managing complex audits, and engaging with senior stakeholders in a constructive and influential way.

• Degree (or equivalent) and membership of a recognised professional body (CIA, MIIA, QICA, ACA, ACCA, CIMA, CCAB or similar).
• Significant audit experience, ideally in a large, complex organisation.
• Exposure to modern audit techniques (data analytics, agile auditing, lean approaches).
• Strong communication and influencing skills, with the ability to engage confidently at senior levels.
• Analytical problem-solving skills and a proactive approach to continuous improvement.
