Job Description

You've steered audit projects, ironed out compliance wrinkles, and guided teams through tight deadlines, yet lately, you may feel trapped by rigid processes, endless checklists, or a lack of real influence. What if your next move let you reclaim your evenings, shape your own audit approach, and partner with leaders who truly value your expertise?

What You'll Gain (Beyond a Paycheck)

True Flexibility:

Imagine wrapping up on Friday to catch a West End show or unwind at a local cafe, and knowing you'll have the same balance week after week. In this role, you control your schedule: early starts to beat the Tube or late finishes on busy days, as long as you deliver.

Clear Path to Growth:

No more vague "next steps." You'll co-create your promotion roadmap, from managing small audit teams today to shaping enterprise-wide controls tomorrow. Quarterly check-ins ensure you always know where you're headed.

Real Influence:

Too often, audit findings get filed away. Here, your insights will spark action. You'll partner with finance, operations, and risk teams to turn compliance issues into smarter processes, seeing real change, not just reports.

Supportive, Collaborative Culture:

You won't be "just another manager." You'll join a team that celebrates successes, shares challenges, and checks in on each other. Whether it's grabbing a coffee in Shoreditch or brainstorming improvements over lunch, you'll feel part of a community that has your back.

About the Organisation & Its Values

Based in the heart of London, this leading firm believes audit isn't about ticking boxes, it's about empowering people to make smarter decisions. Their culture rests on:

Transparency:

You'll always see the full picture, no hidden agendas or surprise deadlines.

Collaboration:

Every challenge is tackled together, with open dialogue and mutual respect.

Continuous Learning:

Mistakes are stepping stones. You'll have access to training, workshops, and on-the-job projects that keep your skills cutting-edge.

What We're Looking For (In Partnership With You)

If you bring:

Proven Audit Leadership:

You've managed end-to-end audit engagements, planning, fieldwork, reporting, and led teams to deliver quality on time.

Analytical Curiosity:

You don't just spot variances; you ask "why," uncover root causes, and recommend actionable improvements.

Collaborative Mindset:

You thrive coaching team members, partnering with stakeholders, and turning feedback into better processes.

Commercial Awareness:

You understand business drivers and can translate audit findings into insights that protect and propel the organisation.
Then you'll be supported with:

Tailored Development:

From technical certifications to leadership coaching, you'll get exactly the resources you need, when you need them.

Mentorship & Sponsorship:

You'll have a dedicated mentor and direct access to senior partners, so you're never navigating challenges alone.

Competitive Package:

A market-leading salary, generous benefits, and a flexible hybrid working model mean you can focus on impact, and on life outside work.
