We're looking for someone who combines strong technical audit expertise with a practical, risk-based approach. You'll have the autonomy to influence the IT audit strategy, work closely with senior technology leaders and provide independent assurance across a complex and evolving technology landscape.
This isn't simply a role overseeing audits. We're looking for someone who enjoys getting hands-on, taking ownership and making a tangible impact.
Key Responsibilities

- IT Controls & Cybersecurity: Assess IT General Controls (ITGCs), cybersecurity arrangements and information security frameworks, including ISO 27001 and NIST.
- Technology Transformation: Provide independent assurance and constructive challenge across major IT change and transformation programmes.
- Data Governance: Evaluate data governance frameworks, ownership, quality, security and associated controls.
- Operational Resilience: Assess Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery arrangements, including their practical effectiveness and operational readiness.
- Senior Stakeholder Engagement: Present findings and recommendations to senior leadership and Audit Committees, confidently challenging existing practices and influencing improvements.
What We're Looking For
We're keen to speak with experienced IT Audit Managers, Senior IT Auditors and Technology Assurance professionals who can demonstrate:
- Strong experience delivering risk-based IT audits, including audit planning, scoping, testing and reporting.
- Experience developing or materially contributing to an IT Audit Plan.
- Excellent knowledge of ITGCs, cybersecurity controls and recognised security frameworks.
- Practical experience auditing data governance, technology risk and operational resilience.
- Exposure to major technology transformation programmes.
- The confidence to engage, influence and constructively challenge senior technology stakeholders.
- An independent, proactive and hands-on approach, with the ability to operate effectively from day one.
Experience within complex commercial organisations or professional services/consultancy environments would be particularly interesting.
Relevant qualifications such as CISA, CISSP, CRISC, CIA or ISO 27001 Lead Auditor would be advantageous.
What's on Offer?
- Salary up to £75,000, plus bonus.
- Hybrid working – 3 days per week in MK
- 34 days' annual leave, including bank holidays.
- Private medical insurance, life insurance and income protection.
