Internal Auditor in London

Apollo, a Skyward Group company, is an innovation-inspired insurance platform operating at Lloyd’s of London, delivering data-driven and creative solutions across a broad range of risks.

Internal Audit at Apollo is about far more than providing assurance. It's about understanding how the business operates, identifying opportunities to strengthen governance and controls, and helping the organisation continue to evolve. Reporting to the Head of Internal Audit, you'll deliver risk-based audits across a broad range of business areas, providing independent assurance over governance, risk management and internal controls while building trusted relationships with stakeholders across the organisation.

Your Role:

• Deliver risk-based internal audits from planning through to reporting and follow-up.
• Evaluate the effectiveness of governance, risk management and internal control frameworks across the business.
• Perform process walkthroughs, control testing and audit fieldwork, producing clear, evidence-based findings and recommendations.
• Build effective relationships with stakeholders, providing constructive challenge while maintaining a collaborative approach.
• Present audit observations and recommendations that support continuous improvement across business processes.
• Monitor the implementation of agreed management actions and validate remediation activity.
• Contribute to audits covering underwriting, claims, delegated authority, finance, operational resilience, outsourcing, regulatory compliance and other key business areas.
• Keep up to date with developments across the Lloyd's and London Market, ensuring emerging risks are considered within audit activity.
• Support the continued development of Internal Audit methodologies, reporting and the use of technology and data analytics where appropriate.

What we are looking for:

• Experience delivering internal audit, external audit, assurance or risk reviews within the insurance sector.
• Experience assessing governance, risk management and internal control frameworks.
• Knowledge of insurance operations, including areas such as underwriting, claims, finance or delegated authority.
• The ability to analyse information, identify root causes and produce practical, evidence-based recommendations.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the confidence to engage stakeholders across all levels of the business.
• Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple assignments and deliver high-quality work to agreed deadlines.
• A professional qualification, or progress towards one, such as CIA, CIIA, ACA, ACCA or an equivalent qualification would be beneficial.
• Knowledge of the Lloyd's and London Market regulatory environment would be beneficial, although this is not essential.

What you’ll get in return:

We offer a competitive and thoughtfully designed reward package that reflects the value of our people. This includes a fair and attractive salary, discretionary bonus, and a comprehensive benefits package - including 31 days’ annual leave, a non-contributory pension and private medical insurance.

At Apollo, people are at the heart of everything we do. We are a diverse, growing team of empowered experts who bring collaboration, innovation and data-driven thinking to every relationship and every risk.
