Internal Audit Lead IT

Position: Internal Audit Lead IT & Change
How you'll make a difference We're looking for someone to play a pivotal leadership role in our Internal Audit team and provide critical independent assurance on a portfolio of audits in our IT and Change space, including a large and complex Technology change programme at an exciting time, both for the Society and the function as we continue to embed our purpose and deliver business growth.

Reporting into the Chief Internal Auditor, this role presents a unique opportunity for someone to work alongside our Technology team on our Core Platform replacement programme, a significant multi-year project. You will lead on the internal audit assurance approach for this change and the delivery of the plan, shadowing the Core programme and drawing on your technical expertise and credibility to offer constructive and live challenge to support the business to establish and manage the risks and keep the Society safe.

You will articulate your findings and prepare outcomes to share with Exec Transformation and Audit committees. You will also have responsibility for overseeing the more traditional audits on our audit plan, the majority being in IT and Change, shadowing other key programmes and being a member of the Enterprise Leadership Group focussing on embedding our new strategic drivers and reinvigorated blueprints across the Society.

You will be a trusted, credible partner who is used to operating at a Senior Leadership level, with an ability to influence and effectively contribute, with outstanding stakeholder management skills.

You will have significant technical capability with advanced assurance skills, including planning, delivery and reporting and knowledge of internal audit methodology and modern auditing techniques.
