Description
Rutherford Cross has been engaged by a growing, forward thinking, fast paced financial services/wealth management company looking to add head count into their internal audit team. This position is initially being recruited on a 12 month fixed term contract, however given the growth of the business and expanding remit of the Audit function there is the potential to change to a permanent appointment. Reporting directly to the Head of Internal Audit you will take responsibility for delivering a number of business risk reviews, financial, operational, and projects across the business.
The Role
An exciting opportunity for someone who has experience within external audit, internal audit or risk assurance, ideally with financial services experience, although this is not necessary if you have large corporate experience and a passion to move into financial services. You will work with senior management and report to the Board/Audit Committee focusing on identifying and mitigating strategic, operational, financial and compliance risks.
You will lead audits in line with the audit plan and will promote a good governance culture throughout the organisation. Key responsibilities will include delivering the audit plan through planning, executing, and delivering audit reviews. This will include executing fieldwork by conducting testing, preparing the audit report and presenting findings to senior stakeholders within the business.
In order to be considered for the position you will need to have a track record of either working in financial services or will have managed a portfolio of large corporate clients and will maintain a professional qualification: CA/ACA/IIA/CIA/ACCA or equivalent.
You will be a confident communicator, with the ability to influence stakeholders throughout the business and will have a good understanding of current internal audit practices and methodology. You will need to demonstrate your ability to problem solve and will be commercially astute.
Having gone through a significant period of growth coupled with the fact that the company is set to continue to grow there are opportunities to progress with your career both in the internal audit team and the wider business, and there is a strong chance that the initial fixed term contract will turn into a permanent appointment.
This is an exciting opportunity to work for a prestigious financial services organisation in Edinburgh where you will either build upon your experience gained in FS or have the opportunity to move into and gain exposure to a new industry sector.
