Astrum Search is delighted to be working alongside an international manufacturing business to recruit an Group Internal Audit Manager following an internal move. 

The location of the role is flexible but will ideally be home-based in Ireland, followed by Spain or Portugal. You must, however, live within a commutable distance to an international airport given the nature of the travel in the role. 

This is a highly international role and travel is expected to be 50% of the time. The travel is very well planned and requires short trips of 2-3 days at a time (with the exception of long-haul travel). The team do not typically travel the first week of the month. The travel is predominantly in Europe but also the USA.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist the Head of Internal Audit in developing the annual internal audit plan ensuring the plan assesses key financial, operational, and risk management controls.
• Plan, perform, and report on audits as assigned by the Head of Internal Audit.
• Develop recommendations as agreed with management ensuring they are both realistic and value-adding to the Group.
• Review work papers of more junior team members, ensuring departmental standards are upheld.
• Develop positive working relationships with senior management to ensure the business understands the value of internal audit and to keep abreast of emerging risks.
• Assist the Head of Internal Audit in recruitment and development of team members.

Skills & Experience:

• A recognised accounting or internal audit specific qualification (ACA/ACCA/CIA etc).
• Experience working in an internal or external audit role at a Manager level with a strong understanding of financial controls in an international organisation.
• Prior IT General Controls experience is highly desirable.
• Flexible and happy to travel internationally 50% of the time.
• Highly motivated and able to work autonomously when needed.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join an international organisation that has doubled its revenue over the last 5 years. They have a suite of innovative products that are highly desirable in the current environment and have a big sustainability agenda.

The team is very well respected and there is a genuine career path to regional and divisional finance roles across the world.
