Senior manager of internal audit in London

Wise is a global technology company, building the best way to move and manage the world's money. As part of our team, you will be helping us create an entirely new network for the world's money.

A bit about the role: We are looking for an Internal Audit Senior Specialist to join our specialist FinCrime team within Wise Internal Audit. The FinCrime team has a global remit and works collaboratively with regional audit teams. Your main focus will be completing FinCrime audits at Wise. You will contribute to the planning, fieldwork, reporting and follow-up of audits, and make recommendations to improve governance, risk management and internal controls.

Your responsibilities will vary audit-to-audit and will include:

• Contributing to the development of the audit test plan
• Owning the execution of testing for specific scope areas
• Completing issue validation testing

The role presents a great opportunity to focus on the development and delivery of audit engagements in a fast-paced environment, focussed on data-driven and innovative audit techniques. Strong knowledge of FinCrime processes is key to being successful in this role, complemented by experience in audit, assurance, risk, compliance or control testing. Knowledge of deploying data-driven or technology-enabled assurance to drive the internal audit agenda is highly valued, but this can be taught to the right candidate.

Your mission includes:

• Supporting the execution of audit engagements per the audit plan, ensuring timely and high-quality audit outcomes
• Contributing to audit planning, including development of test plans
• Taking ownership to independently deliver design and operational effectiveness testing for specific scope areas
• Developing deep FinCrime technical expertise across regulatory requirements, risks and typologies, processes, systems, and controls
• Monitoring the implementation of Internal Audit recommendations and measuring the effectiveness of the improvements
• Supporting the implementation and operation of the internal audit assurance framework, including development of continuous monitoring and automated audit routines
• Actively contributing to building a robust and self-sufficient internal audit team

The role is London-based, but many of our teams are located across different office locations. You will travel as needed to meet your objectives. You demonstrate attention to detail but can summarise key messages succinctly, verbally and in writing, adjusting your style and level of information based on the target audience. You have strong coordination skills and you are able to hold yourself accountable for meeting deadlines and delivering high-quality outputs.

You seek to use data analytics and technology in your work and to inform your decision-making. You can independently drive process walkthroughs with stakeholders, articulate the 'so what' of audit findings, and challenge existing controls constructively. You are agile and adaptable to change. You are passionate about driving change, making improvements and helping stakeholders. You have proven experience working in audit, assurance, risk, compliance, or control testing roles. You have worked in a regulated environment, such as Fintech or Financial Services.

Professional qualification a bonus: CPA/ACA/ACCA/CIA/CISA/ICA/ACAMS.

• RSUs
• Parental leave
• Travel to other global Wise offices
• Growth and development opportunities across the business
• A fun work environment with social activities and events
