Job Description

Astrum Search is working with a leading FTSE 100 to recruit a Senior Internal Auditor to join their Internal Audit & Risk team.

This is a broad, high-visibility role spanning commercial and functional areas both domestically and internationally, with real exposure to a business going through significant transformation.

What you'll be doing:

  • Leading and supporting end-to-end audit engagements across diverse business areas
  • Contribute to the development of data-driven audit routines 
  • Contributing to the annual audit plan and engaging senior stakeholders up to Executive Director level
  • Building and maintaining strong relationships with senior stakeholders, keeping them informed throughout the audit process and ensuring findings land with impact
  • Championing continuous improvement across audit methodology, sharing best practice and helping to shape the team's growing digital and data skill set
  • Tracking audit actions and reporting to Operating and Audit Committees

What they're looking for:

  • Internal audit experience, ideally with ACA, ACCA, or IIA qualification
  • Strong grasp of risk, controls, and audit methodology
  • An interest or background in data analytics - this team is actively building its digital audit capability
  • Retail/consumer sector experience is a bonus, not a must

This is a genuinely exciting opportunity to join a high-profile internal audit team. You'll get broad exposure across the business with strong opportunities to progress in the department or wider business.

The role is London based 3 x per week with occasional domestic and international travel.
