Head of Group Internal Audit & Risk Assurance | PLC

An opportunity to lead Internal Audit & Risk Assurance for an established, listed international group.

We are working with an established, listed international group to recruit a Head of Group Internal Audit & Risk Assurance.

Reporting to the Group CFO, with a direct line to the Chair of the Audit & Risk Committee, this is a broad and influential role with responsibility for internal audit, risk assurance and supporting the Group’s wider governance framework.

Key areas of responsibility will include:

The role extends beyond the core audit and risk remit, with involvement in a range of Group-wide projects and initiatives, including acquisitions and integration, systems implementation, data protection, insurance and other areas of governance and assurance.

It is a relatively autonomous position with considerable exposure across the organisation, including regular interaction with the Board, Audit & Risk Committee, divisional Managing Directors and senior finance leadership.

We are looking for someone who can bring:

  • An ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualification, ideally together with an IIA and/or risk management qualification
  • Significant experience across internal audit, risk assurance and corporate governance
  • PLC experience would be advantageous

The role is based at the Group’s Head Office in South Manchester and will involve some travel across its international operations.

A highly competitive package is available, including generous short and long-term incentive arrangements, car allowance and pension.
