Senior Internal Audit, Risk & Compliance Jobs
For a number of years now, audit, risk and compliance professionals have enjoyed an elevated status across all sectors including financial services, industry and the public sector, due to increasingly onerous regulatory requirements, whether from the FCA or other industry specific regulators.
Increasingly we are seeing data breaches, technology issues and manufacturing scandals, meaning boards are increasingly reliant on the audit, risk and compliance functions to ensure everything is being carried out the way it should be, with no margin for error. Consequently, audit, risk and compliance professionals are highly sought after as our clients continue to search for the best talent.
At Rutherford Cross, we have a wealth of experience, depth of understanding, and extensive networks across these specialisms. These equip us to provide a truly consultative service based on our understanding of internal auditing, risk and compliance and the unique requirements of these roles. We are able to assist all those pursuing this career path, whether you are making your first move into the world of corporate governance or are an experienced professional.
We have the expertise to guide risk professionals into the career paths that lead to the coveted Chief Auditor and Risk Director roles. We understand how boardrooms and selection committees operate and can help professionals at every level lay the foundations for achieving the very highest positions in risk/compliance and internal audit. Areas of expertise include:
