Job Description

We have been exclusively mandated by a FTSE listed commercial business to help build out their internal audit (and risk) function. Turning over more than 3bn, the company is one of the leaders in its industry and employs people throughout Europe. The most recent assignment we have been given is to find a French speaking Senior Internal Auditor who will be based in Slough, Berkshire or (secondarily as an options) in other locations around the UK, including central London.



Reporting directly to the Head of Audit and Risk, who in turn reports to the Board & the Audit Committee (AC), you will be responsible for managing and executing end-to-end Group-wide financial and operation audits and ad-hoc projects across all of the Group businesses, as part of the annual audit plan as well as managing the co-source delivered projects. The amount of travel required is rather low, at around 30% of the time to mainland Europe and to other offices and operational centres across the UK, and internationally too.



To be successful in this role you will need to liaise and build relationships with internal stakeholders and work collaboratively with business leaders, acting as an ambassador to the audit team to promote a culture of continuous improvement for processes and controls. You will also need to be comfortable in working autonomously, with limited supervision and guide the co-sourced or guest audit resource through projects, with the aim of mitigating or removing risks going forward.



We are looking for a finance/accountancy/audit professional, ideally with a recognised qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIA, CPA, etc., though this is not essential) and experience within an audit function, from practice (Big 4 or Top 10), from industry or a mix of the two. Fluent English and French is essential, and a good knowledge of German/Spanish/Dutch too would be helpful, but is not essential.
