Job reference: DH/44883

Sector:
Asset Management & Funds, Financial Services Region:
London Closing date:
Barclay Simpson is recruiting a Senior Manager to join the Internal Audit function of a leading global asset and wealth management business.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Internal Auditor to join a highly regarded international audit function, taking responsibility for leading audit assignments across a broad range of business activities and developing strong relationships with senior stakeholders.

The role will involve leading audits through the full lifecycle, from initial planning and risk assessment through fieldwork to the development and presentation of findings. You will assess the effectiveness of governance, risk management and internal controls, providing constructive challenge and commercially relevant insight to senior management.

Alongside individual audit assignments, you will contribute to the ongoing assessment of the organisation’s risk profile and the development of future audit coverage. The position offers considerable exposure across the business and the opportunity to work as part of a well-established global Internal Audit function. This reflects the broader risk-based remit and stakeholder focus of the previous role profile.

We are looking for an experienced Internal Auditor with a background in asset management, wealth management or a closely related financial services environment. You should have experience of leading audit assignments, strong stakeholder management skills and the confidence to engage with and challenge senior management. You will combine strong technical auditing skills with good commercial judgement, intellectual curiosity and the ability to identify the issues that really matter to the business.

The successful candidate will also be a strong team player with clear leadership potential and an interest in how Internal Audit continues to evolve. An enthusiasm for technology and the increasing application of AI and tools such as Copilot within audit would be particularly relevant.

The role is based in the City of London and operates on a hybrid basis, with three days per week in the office.

The anticipated salary range is 75,000–100,000, dependent upon experience, alongside a competitive benefits package.

This could suit a strong Audit Manager who is already leading their own assignments and is ready to take the next step in their career.
