Change Assurance Assistant Manager in London

At Grant Thornton we do things differently - looking to the future, driving ambitious growth and pioneering positive change in our industry. Providing audit, tax and advisory services, we empower clients through strategic insight, curiosity, and genuine partnership. And we empower our people with real opportunity, an inclusive culture and work life balance.

With over 5,000 people in the UK, and a presence in 150 global markets, we’re on an ambitious journey, from great to exceptional, and we need the best people to help us achieve our potential.

As a Change Assurance Assistant Manager within our Change Assurance team, you will:

• Support with assurance over the governance of projects and programmes delivering IT change across financial services organisations (large and small scale).
• Support with the assurance of change portfolio management and methodologies (waterfall, agile and hybrid).
• Participate and support with the full review lifecycle, scoping engagements with clients, completing fieldwork, evaluating findings and reporting on recommendations.
• Participate and support with engagements with senior client representatives (i.e. project sponsors, stakeholders) and delivery team members and management.
• Proactively support the team in identifying and implementing continuous improvement activities.

Joining us as a Change Assurance Assistant Manager, the minimum criteria you’ll need is an awareness of project and programme delivery or assurance/audit experience. This role would ideally suit a general auditor or a PMO Analyst/Manager looking to pivot into change assurance.

It would be great if you had some of the following skills:

• Understand project delivery methodologies and change frameworks.
• Understand change governance and risk management practices.
• Knowledge and experience of data analysis and experience of tools such as Power BI.
• Proven ability in report writing.
• Stakeholder management, experienced to operate with C-suite level stakeholders.
• Ability to present concise messages and reasoning to senior stakeholders and governance committees.

Embracing uniqueness, the culture at Grant Thornton thrives on the contributions of all our people. Building an inclusive culture, where we value difference and respect our colleagues helps our people to perform at the best of their ability and realise their potential.

Life is more than work. The things you do, and the people you’re with outside of work matter, that’s why we’re happy to look at flexible working options for all our roles, and we’ll always do our best to keep your work and life in balance.

The impact you can make here will go far beyond your day job. From secondments, to fundraising for local charities, or investing in entrepreneurs in the developing world, you’ll be giving back to society.

We’re looking for people who want to contribute, spark fresh ideas and go beyond expectations. People who want to be able to proudly do what’s right, for the firm, our clients, our people and themselves.
