My client, a globally significant bank, is looking to hire an Internal Audit Director to lead the London based Methodology team, on a contract basis. This is a genuinely exciting time to join the function as they shift towards a principals based Methodology, which you will play a key role in delivering.
The role requires previous experience of working in an IA Methodology function within Financial Services. Please note, due to the team lead element of the role, my hiring manager does not consider experience in leading/managing an EQA as relevant, without Methodology experience.
Responsibilities will include:
- Manage the process used to identify, develop and maintain the global audit policy
- Guide and coach audit staff on application of audit policy
- Oversee the global audit universe
- Review and present proposals with peers and executive and senior management, and to make appropriate recommendations

Such activity consists of methodology, policies and standards, quality assurance, regulatory interaction and continuous improvement, as well as other functional strategic initiatives
