𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐥𝐥 𝐠𝐞𝐭

* £60,000 – £70,000

* One day a fortnight in the office. That is not a typo

* Ultra flexible hours, judged on delivery rather than time at a desk

* Free parking when you are in

* Direct audit committee exposure, presenting your own technical audits

* A structured career and development plan built around a proper gap analysis, with qualifications supported

* Full ownership of IT audit across an expanding multi-business group

This is the technology assurance role in the group. You will own IT audit outright across every business in the portfolio, reporting to the Head of Internal Audit and taking your own findings straight to the audit committee. Cyber is the board’s number one priority, and this position exists because they want that capability in-house rather than bought in. The breadth is unusual: multiple operating businesses, all expanding, all in scope.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠

* Planning, scoping and delivering risk-based IT audits across the full group

* Assessing IT general controls, application controls and cyber security controls across key systems

* Auditing cloud environments, third-party and vendor risk, data governance and emerging technology including AI

* Translating technical findings into clear commercial risk for senior stakeholders

* Presenting your own audits to the audit committee and agreeing practical remediation

* Contributing to the annual audit plan and tracking findings through to closure

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞’𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫

* Solid IT audit, IT risk or technology assurance experience, in-house or in practice

* CISA qualified or working towards it

* Strong grounding in ITGCs, cyber security controls and cloud

* Familiarity with NIST, and ideally ISO 27001 or COBIT

* Someone who can challenge technical people constructively and land findings without friction

* Comfortable working autonomously and owning their own audits end to end

This is the rare role that gives you the autonomy of a standalone remit, the profile of audit committee exposure and the flexibility most employers have quietly withdrawn.
