It is a highly collaborative position with exposure to senior stakeholders, market forums, and meaningful influence over audit standards, insights, and continuous improvement.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the coordination and day-to-day oversight of delegated authority audit activity, ensuring audits are planned, tracked, completed, and reported on time.
• Analyse audit reports for Coverholders and DCAs, identifying findings, trends, and areas of risk or non-compliance, and ensuring issues are escalated and resolved appropriately.
• Support risk-based audit planning, including maintaining and managing the audit schedule and assigning Coverholders/DCAs to appropriate audit cycles.
• Scope audits in collaboration with internal stakeholders, ensuring objectives are clear, proportionate, and aligned to the nature of the delegated arrangement.
• Review audit proposals/quotes for scope accuracy and value, support invoice processing, and maintain oversight of audit firm performance against agreed standards/KPIs.
• Produce and contribute to audit-related MI, KPIs, and governance reporting for senior stakeholders and committees.
• Build strong working relationships with internal teams and external parties (Coverholders, DCAs, auditors), acting as a key point of contact for audit queries and communications.
• Deliver training and guidance on audit processes and expectations to internal and external stakeholders as required.
• Represent the business at relevant market forums and contribute to best‐practice discussions across the delegated authority community.

• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to influence and collaborate across functions and external partners.
• Working knowledge of key regulatory and governance requirements, including delegated authority standards, conduct expectations (e.g., Consumer Duty), and financial crime considerations.
• Proficiency in Excel and Word, with the ability to produce clear MI/KPI reporting.
