Internal Audit Manager in London

We are a leading trading platform that is ambitiously expanding to the four corners of the globe. Our top-rated products have won prestigious industry awards for their cutting-edge technology and seamless client experience. We deliver only the best, so we are always in search of the best people to join our ever-growing talented team.

As Internal Audit Manager for Capital.com UK, you will build and lead an independent assurance function at the center of a fast-scaling regulated business. This is a standalone UK role — meaning you will be the function, not just a part of it — so we're looking for someone who is genuinely hands-on, eager to build from the ground up, and energised by the opportunity to shape something rather than inherit it. This role matters because we are expanding across products, markets, and regulatory expectations simultaneously, requiring a control environment that evolves as quickly as the business itself.

You will help shape how governance, risk, and accountability operate inside a modern trading platform, combining in-house expertise with specialist co-sourced capability to deliver credible, risk-based assurance across the firm. Your work will directly influence how Capital.com scales responsibly, strengthens trust with regulators, and supports long-term growth in increasingly complex financial markets.

• Drive independent assurance across trading operations, technology, AML and financial crime controls, outsourcing arrangements, conduct risk, and regulatory compliance, helping the business scale with confidence.
• Shape the hybrid internal audit framework by combining internal capability with specialist co-sourced expertise, ensuring audit coverage remains scalable, credible, and proportionate to business risk.
• Partner with the Audit Committee, senior leadership, Compliance, Risk, and Finance teams to provide clear challenge, practical insight, and transparent reporting on material risks and control effectiveness.
• Ensure audit methodologies, working practices, and reporting standards remain aligned with FCA expectations, IIA standards, and broader industry best practice.
• Identify emerging risks across areas such as operational resilience, AI and model risk, digital assets, and platform technology, proactively adapting audit coverage as the business evolves.
• Oversee co-sourced audit providers by defining engagement standards, reviewing quality of delivery, and maintaining independence and consistency across all audit outputs.
• Monitor remediation progress for audit findings, driving accountability and timely resolution of control gaps across the organisation.
• Support major business initiatives, regulatory change programmes, and new product activity through independent review and constructive challenge before implementation.
• Build and develop a high-performing audit capability through coaching, hiring, succession planning, and knowledge-sharing across the wider group.
• Maintain strong governance, documentation, and evidence management practices to support regulatory scrutiny and Board-level oversight.

• You have significant internal audit or assurance experience within a UK-regulated investment firm, broker, fintech, or financial services business.
• You understand the UK regulatory environment deeply, including FCA requirements across MIFIDPRU, SYSC, COBS, Consumer Duty, AML/CTF, and operational resilience.
• You have experience auditing trading platforms, technology environments, financial crime controls, outsourced providers, and customer outcomes within complex regulated businesses.
• You are confident operating within hybrid or co-sourced audit models and understand how to maintain quality, independence, and accountability across multiple delivery channels.
• You hold a recognised professional qualification such as CIA, ACA, ACCA, CPA, or CISA.

• You can assess complex control environments, identify root causes, and translate findings into practical, commercially realistic recommendations.
• You know how to prioritise risk effectively in fast-moving businesses where regulation, technology, and product development evolve simultaneously.
• You are comfortable working through ambiguity and adapting audit approaches as new risks emerge.

• You build credibility quickly with Boards, regulators, senior executives, and cross-functional stakeholders.
• You communicate clearly and directly, balancing independence with constructive partnership.
