Senior Audit Manager/ SVP
An exceptional opportunity has arisen for a senior audit professional to join a high-performing internal audit function within a leading global financial services group. This is a strategically important role, positioned within the investment management audit team, where the successful candidate will play a key part in the delivery of complex, risk-focused audits—particularly across private markets and alternative investments.
The role sits within a well-resourced and respected internal audit department, recognised for excellence through regular independent assessments. Working closely with the Audit Director, the successful candidate will lead audits across a growing and evolving business area, with increasing focus on private markets. Importantly, this role is viewed as a succession pipeline for more senior leadership, with the potential for board and committee exposure and access to an 18-month executive coaching programme designed for future leaders.
Candidates will need to demonstrate experience leading complex audits within asset management, ideally alternatives/private markets, and bring a strong understanding of risk, control and governance frameworks. Strong communication skills, stakeholder management capability and comfort engaging with executive-level audiences are all essential.
Professional qualifications (e.g. ACA, ACCA, CIIA) are welcomed, and experience using data analytics and artificial intelligence is an advantage. The team fosters a collaborative, low-ego culture and values a hands-on, pragmatic approach. This is an ideal opportunity for someone looking to step into a senior role with high visibility and long-term potential.
If you’re looking to be part of a dynamic, forward-thinking audit team and play a pivotal role in a growing business area, this opportunity is one not to miss.
