Senior Corporate Auditor in Manchester

Arrow Corporate Audit’s mission is to deliver responsive risk-based audit and advisory services in a spirit of partnership with objectivity, fairness, transparency, and in accordance with our professional and ethical standards to our stakeholders. This role is instrumental in achieving that mission. This role sits within the rapidly expanding EMEA Corporate Audit Team and is primarily based in London, although audit engagements and projects will be executed throughout the EMEA region.

Senior Auditors are a crucial business partner to Arrow businesses, departments and other key stakeholders. They execute high quality, value-adding projects in a managed, professional, detailed, diligent and collegiate manner. They are credible and are able to communicate complicated issues and the concept of risk and risk management to non-finance based individuals as well as senior executives and business leaders throughout the Arrow organization.

Our Senior Auditors are the team captains and are charged with leading delivery of our audit and advisory services across our global organization addressing all areas of enterprise risk management (strategic, financial, operational, compliance, and reputational) and establishing the team culture. They demonstrate thorough knowledge and a proven record of success in completing aspects of the Internal Audit process, control evaluation and testing methodologies, and other Financial and Operational Internal Control methodologies and terminology e.g. COSO.

Arrow Senior Auditors are agile thinkers and are able to react, adjust their project scope and procedures and problem solve where required. They are able to see the wider-risk and form an opinion on the level to which it is mitigated. They are able to execute a bespoke engagement to deliver specific assurance on a stated goal and they do not rely on thoughtlessly executing a standard, repetitive work-program. Consequently, Arrow Senior Auditors are a highly prized team-member, whose experiences, feedback and input are invaluable to the function as it seeks to constantly evolve, improve and provide gold standard audit projects to the business.
