Job Title Internal Audit Manager

Job Description So, who are we?

IG Group is a FTSE 100 fintech operating across five continents, serving over 1.4m customers and handling billions of dollars in transactions – built on scale, trust, and proof. We didn't pivot to innovation; it's how we've always operated. What that means for the people who work here is real: genuinely complex problems to solve, the technology and resources to tackle them properly, and the kind of scope that's rare in established businesses.

The bar is high – bring a curious and forward-thinking mindset and we'll give you the platform to define what comes next.

Join us at IG – the future gets built here.

Your Team:

IG is a global trading business, regulated in multiple jurisdictions, and it moves fast. Internal Audit needs an experienced manager who wants to dig into the hard questions. You will lead complex audits across IG's regulated Global entities, with a focus on regulatory, non-financial and operational risks.

Your role in the Team’s Success:

You will report to the Head of Internal Audit (UK, APAC and Middle East) and work with a growing team, co-source partners and subject matter experts. You will own the quality of each audit you lead, from scoping through to the final report. You will also feed into and support delivery of the Internal Audit strategy. Line management responsibility will follow as the team grows.

What you’ll do:

Audit delivery

Lead end-to-end delivery of complex, global audits, from planning, through fieldwork to reporting, within agreed timelines, to IG's methodology and IIA standards.

Manage a portfolio of audits, tracking progress, resourcing and risks to delivery, and escalating issues to the Head of Audit early.

Oversee the quality and consistency of work across the portfolio, reviewing the work of auditors and co-source teams so that reports meet IG’s standards before they are issued.

Direct co-source partners and subject matter experts, setting clear scope and challenging their work so the output is high quality, risk-focused and commercially sensible.

Write clear, well-evidenced findings and reports, agreeing practical actions with management.

Partnering with the business

Work alongside senior leaders in the first and second lines as a trusted partner. Understand their objectives, give honest and constructive insight, and support real improvements to how IG manages risk and serves clients.

Planning and risk assessment

Contribute to the annual audit plan and risk assessment, particularly for regulatory, non-financial and operational risk topics.

Track regulatory change and industry events (for example FCA, MiFID, MAR, AML requirements and the expectations of IG's other regulators), and assess what they mean for audit coverage.

Governance and reporting

Prepare papers for entity boards and committees, including the Audit Committee where required, drawing out themes across audits and giving independent insight. Present them where needed.

Follow up issues and actions, challenging evidence before closure, and report progress and overdue items accurately.

Innovation and continuous improvement

Help the function use AI, data analytics and automation in audit work, such as automated testing, document review and continuous monitoring.

Bring a continuous improvement mindset to Internal Audit's own methodology and to the business processes you review.

Contribute to the Quality Self-Assessment and External Quality Assessment, and to the function's adherence to the IIA Global Internal Audit Standards.
