I've been engaged exclusively by a world leading FTSE 100 commercial (non-FS) business, consistently voted as "one of the best businesses to work for in UK" is looking for a Senior Business & IT Internal Controls Manager (Deputy to the Global Head of Internal Controls) on an initial 12 month fixed term contact (FTC), who will lead & line-manage a brilliant, high-performing team of Internal Controls professionals.
The Group operates globally and is seen as the global leader in nearly all of the markets in which it operates. Unlike some companies at the moment, practically all of the company’s metrics point in a positive direction, including the market capitalisation, profit, number of employees, new acquisitions, etc., and as part of this, the business is investing heavily in its central functions in order to ensure they are well placed to support the next phase of business growth. A key area of focus is to further build-out and strengthening of their Group-wide internal controls framework which sets a consistent minimum standard of controls expected within each Group business.
This role will report to, and work closely with the Group Head of Internal Controls to further develop the Group standard internal control framework before taking ownership of the roll-out, implementation and embedding of the framework across the Group. This high-profile role will lead a fantastic team and where needed the Group’s "Big 4" advisory team(s), who work alongside the internal team on a project-to-project basis. The role will have significant exposure to the Group CFO, the Business Finance Directors and potentially the Group Audit Committee. Whilst the HQ is in central London, the Group works flexibly, so remote working, from nearly anywhere in the UK is possible.
We are looking for a candidate with some significant post-qualification (or equivalent) experience in (IT/IS) Internal Controls, Governance & Risk, and working knowledge of the COSO framework and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) guidelines. Experience of working in a multinational environment and leading large-scale, high-profile internal governance teams would be an advantage, as would a background working in a large accountancy practice e.g., Big 4 / Top 10; another large FTSE company; or a mix of the two, with at least some, recently in the UK. A qualification - ACA, ACCA, CIA, CPA, etc. would be helpful, but is not mandatory.
Right to work: This client won't sponsor visas - spousal visas, ILR, etc. will be fine. You must have the full right to work in the UK.
Target salary range: £100-110,000 plus 10-15% bonus.
Start date: Likely to be early Q4 2026, but can be flexible.
