Audit Manager
Barclay Simpson is exclusively recruiting for a newly created role within a fast-evolving investment and pensions organisation that is establishing its in-house internal audit function. This is a rare opportunity to help shape the framework, influence its direction, and be part of a business at an important stage of its growth journey.
Reporting directly to the Head of Internal Audit, this position can be appointed at either Senior Auditor or Audit Manager level depending on experience. You will play a key role in developing and delivering the audit plan across a diverse range of areas, from investment management and pensions administration to technology, operations and governance. The company has recently transitioned from an outsourced model, so your insight, credibility and ability to “sell” audit constructively across the business will be invaluable.
This is a role for someone who enjoys variety and autonomy. You will scope, plan and lead audits, produce high-quality reports and engage closely with stakeholders to ensure agreed actions are practical and value-adding. You will also work with specialist co-source partners where required, helping to ensure the function leverages technical expertise effectively. As one of the earliest hires into the team, you will have visibility and input into its ongoing development, helping to establish ways of working, shape its methodology and promote audit as a trusted and forward-looking partner to the business.
The ideal candidate will have strong internal audit experience, ideally within financial services, pensions administration or investment management. Exposure to regulated environments, operational risk and control frameworks will be advantageous, as will professional qualifications such as ACA, ACCA or CIA. You will need to be confident working independently, comfortable liaising with senior stakeholders and able to communicate findings with clarity and influence.
The company offers hybrid working, typically around half of the week in the office, and an inclusive culture that values collaboration, accountability and professionalism. It’s a setting where strong performance is recognised, and progression is based on contribution, providing clear potential to step up as the function expands.
This is an exceptional opportunity for an experienced internal auditor looking to take ownership, shape a new function and work closely with an engaged and forward-thinking Head of Audit. If you’re seeking a role that combines challenge, visibility and impact, please contact Barclay Simpson in confidence.
We seek individuals from a diverse talent pool and encourage applicants from underrepresented groups to apply to our vacancies. Our commitment to fair recruitment processes means that we welcome applicants from all backgrounds, regardless of their lived experience or personal characteristics. We also invite applicants who meet most of the listed requirements, even if not all, to apply. If you require any adjustments to the application process, please let us know.
Barclay Simpson acts as an Employment Agency for permanent positions and an Employment Business for temporary/contract engagements.
