A leading global private markets manager is looking for an IT Auditor (AVP) to join its London team. This is a hands‑on role with broad exposure across the firm's technology platform, leading and executing risk‑based IT audits and acting as a key point of contact for regional technology stakeholders. This would be a good fit for someone who wants to own delivery of technology audit work across Cyber, Cloud and other areas.
Sitting within Internal Audit, you'll provide independent assurance to executive management and the Audit Committee on the effectiveness of the firm's governance, risk management and internal control processes. You'll get exposure across investment and asset management, risk, operations, finance and compliance.
The Role
- Leading risk assessment and planning, and contributing to the design and execution of technology audit work programmes.
- Performing risk‑based audits of systems, applications, infrastructure (including cloud) and IT processes across the firm's global businesses.
- Identifying and evaluating key controls, testing design and operating effectiveness, documenting results and developing practical corrective actions.
- Partnering with business auditors on integrated audits, mapping IT systems and data flows to business processes and translating technical findings into clear business impact.
- Building trusted relationships with technology and business stakeholders, and acting as a point of contact for regional technology risk matters.
- Driving audit efficiency through automation, AI and data analytics, and staying current with evolving technology, regulatory and industry developments.
- Leading and contributing to department‑wide strategic initiatives and special projects.
What they're looking for:
- 7+ years in IT audit or technology risk, ideally within financial services.
- Familiarity with key technology domains (infrastructure, cybersecurity, cloud, AI) and control frameworks (NIST, ITIL, COBIT), with exposure to EMEA and/or APAC regulatory environments a plus.
- Strong problem‑solving and critical thinking, with data analytics experience a plus.
- Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to present complex technical topics clearly and influence senior stakeholders across global teams.
- A degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Finance or a related field. CISA preferred; cloud or security certifications (CISM, CISSP, AWS, Azure) a plus.
- A genuine passion for technology, a self‑starter mentality and the drive to research and solve complex problems independently.
- This role suits a curious, self‑directed auditor: someone who takes initiative, operates with a high degree of autonomy and sound judgement, and is comfortable owning workstreams end to end.
