Internal Audit Manager

12 month FTC. Hybrid - London Waterloo. Currys Group Internal Audit is responsible for delivering a broad plan of work to evaluate the effectiveness of the Group’s governance, risk management and internal control. The team reports to the Group Head of Internal Audit and works across the Group’s retained and outsourced operations in the UK and overseas (Nordics, India, Republic of Ireland, Hong Kong, Czech Republic). The team’s work spans financial, operational, compliance, IT, data and business transformation risks. The successful candidate will join to help deliver on the team’s strategy and plan and to develop the team’s capabilities, including deployment and use of AI tools in audit work.

As part of this role, you will be responsible for:

• Fully own a portfolio of internal audits from the rolling internal audit plan, from scoping and planning through to agreeing findings with management and preparing reporting for audit sponsors, the Executive Committee (ExCo) and Audit Committee.
• Work closely with co-source partners (BDO) on co-sourced audits, to deliver value and outcomes from co-sourced support.
• Supervise and coach the day-to-day work of more junior team members where required.
• Engage in the wider work of the Internal Audit team, such as periodic reporting to the Audit Committee, participation in wider business forums as the IA representative, and developing our methodologies and ways of working.
• Undertake other or ad-hoc tasks as directed by the Group Head of Internal Audit or Group Director of Internal Audit, Risk and Insurance.

You will need:

• Track record of being a ‘fast starter’ in terms of audit delivery in a new working environment/team.
• The ability to work independently day-to-day and get things right ‘first time.’
• Practical knowledge of Excel and AI tools to identify and deploy the use of data across the audit universe.
• A ‘hands-on’ background in governance, risk and internal controls, aligned to the principal risks of Currys. Experience with control frameworks such as GIAS, COSO and NIST/ISO27001 is beneficial.
• Flexibility and agility in taking on and managing multiple deliverables and tasks at once.
• Confidence in articulating and delivering complex messages to a broad range of colleagues (horizontally or vertically).
• A relevant professional qualification (CCAB, CMIIA) or a Masters in a comparable discipline (Finance, Risk, Management, Technology).
