Head of Internal Audit

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Head of Internal Audit to join a well-established organisation in a key leadership role. This position offers the chance to lead the internal audit function (c.6 staff) and provide independent assurance across risk management, governance, and internal control frameworks, while working closely with senior leadership and Board-level stakeholders.

You will be responsible for developing and delivering a risk-based internal audit strategy, take ownership of the annual audit plan, and ensure work is completed to a high professional standard.

Reporting to the CFO, this is a highly visible role, requiring strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to build trusted relationships while maintaining independence. You will contribute to strengthening risk culture across the organisation and support governance processes.

To be considered, applicants should have proven UK-based experience leading an internal audit function or closely as a number two, hold a full relevant qualification (ACA/ACCA/CIIA). You'll ideally be confident presenting at Audit Committee and Board level, with excellent communication and influencing skills.

You must hold a full UK passport too.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a strategic audit leader looking to make a genuine impact.
