About BCCAP

About the role

We are looking for a Group Internal Audit Manager to support the delivery of internal audit plans across both Groups.

This is a varied and high‑impact role, providing independent and objective assurance across operational, financial and compliance areas. You will take ownership of audits from planning and scoping through to reporting and follow‑up, using data and insight to identify risks, assess controls and recommend practical improvements.

Working as part of a lean team, you will focus on the highest‑risk areas of the business, with priorities that may change quickly in response to business needs and external factors. The role requires confident stakeholder engagement at all levels, clear communication of findings, and a pragmatic approach to supporting continuous improvement.

What you’ll be doing

  • Plan and deliver internal audits across operations, finance and compliance, taking ownership from scoping through to reporting and follow‑up.
  • Review processes and controls to assess whether they are effective and fit for purpose.
  • Identify issues, understand root causes and recommend practical, commercially aware improvements.
  • Prepare clear, concise and insightful audit reports tailored to executive and operational audiences.
  • Use data, including Excel and similar tools, to identify trends, risks and anomalies.
  • Build strong relationships across the business and engage confidently with stakeholders at all levels.
  • Support advisory work as a trusted business partner, providing input on new processes, projects and ways of working.
  • Contribute to risk identification and reporting, supporting the embedding of risk frameworks.
  • Support oversight of whistleblowing reports, including initial triage and follow‑up.

About you

We are looking for someone who is curious, pragmatic and confident working across a varied and fast‑paced business environment. You will be comfortable moving between detail and the bigger picture, building trust with stakeholders while maintaining independence and sound judgement.

You will bring:

  • 3+ years’ experience in internal audit, external audit, risk or compliance.
  • Experience delivering audits from planning through to reporting and follow‑up.
  • A practical approach to identifying risks, assessing controls and driving improvements.
  • Strong stakeholder engagement, communication and influencing skills.
  • Good financial and commercial awareness, ideally gained within a retail environment.
  • Strong data analysis skills, including Excel, and an openness to using new tools and technology to work smarter.
  • The ability to adapt quickly to changing priorities and emerging risks.
  • Sound judgement around when to scale issues.

Qualifications

You will be professionally qualified, or working towards qualification, such as ACA, ACCA, CIA, IIA or equivalent.

What we can offer you

  • Bonus scheme, private pension, healthcare and dental options.
  • Team member discounts, financial advice, wellbeing support and lifestyle benefits.
  • Gym discounts and social events throughout the year.
  • Enhanced family‑friendly support and charitable giving benefits.
  • Learning and development support, including training, qualifications and progression planning.
  • Exposure to a broad and varied group environment, with the opportunity to work across investment, property and retail businesses.
