This is an opportunity to join an established inhouse Internal Audit function where the focus is on delivering deep, end-to-end audits and providing meaningful input into business change. The role offers broad exposure across corporate functions and projects rather than narrow, repetitive audit cycles.
Client Details
Our client is a large, complex UK business that has been through significant transformation following recent ownership changes.

The Internal Audit function operates as a true third line, working alongside second line oversight and compliance teams, and is respected for the quality and depth of its work rather than volume of audits delivered.
