A private equity-backed, multinational industrial manufacturer is looking for an Internal Audit Manager to lead and develop its audit programme across a complex, international footprint. The business is in an active phase of growth and value creation. Internal audit plays a visible part in this, giving the Board, the Audit Committee and the sponsor confidence in the control environment and supporting performance across operations.
The role includes:
- Owning the risk-based internal audit plan across multiple sites and jurisdictions, covering financial, operational and compliance risk.
- Leading audits end to end, from scoping and fieldwork through to reporting and tracking remediation.
- Reviewing manufacturing-specific areas such as inventory, procurement, supply chain, capex and production cost accounting.
- Presenting findings and recommendations clearly to senior leadership, the CFO and the Audit Committee.
- Partnering with site and regional finance teams to strengthen controls and embed a culture of accountability.
- Coordinating with external auditors and any co-sourced or outsourced audit resource.
- Supporting the sponsor's reporting requirements and ad-hoc reviews, including due diligence and integration work where needed.
About you:
- Qualified accountant or auditor (ACA, ACCA, CIA or equivalent).
- Experience in internal audit, ideally gained in a practice firm and/or an industrial, manufacturing or other asset-heavy business.
- Experience of a multinational or multi-site environment; PE-backed experience is a strong advantage.
- Strong stakeholder management, with the credibility to challenge constructively at senior level.
- Clear, concise report writing and presentation skills.
What's on offer:
- A high-profile role with direct exposure to senior leadership and the PE sponsor.
- Scope to shape and build the audit function as the business grows.
- Competitive salary plus bonus and benefits.
