Internal Auditor

Audit Programme Manager – 6 Month FTC

West London | Hybrid – 2 days office / 3 days home

Salary: c. £40,000–£50,000

AW/44976

We are recruiting an Audit Programme Manager for a well-established professional organisation on an initial six-month fixed-term contract.

This is a hands-on role with responsibility for the day-to-day delivery of an established outsourced audit programme. Working closely with an external audit provider, members and internal stakeholders, you will ensure the programme runs effectively, audits are delivered to schedule and results and follow-up actions are managed appropriately.

Key responsibilities

• Manage the day-to-day delivery of the audit programme.
• Monitor the external audit provider against agreed schedules and volumes, ensuring audits are completed on time.
• Review audit outputs and communicate results to members.
• Manage member queries, issues and follow-up actions, including sensitive conversations following poor audit results.
• Maintain programme trackers, spreadsheets, records and associated administration.
• Support committee meetings, including coordination, attendance, minute-taking and follow-up actions.
• Liaise effectively with members, suppliers and internal stakeholders.

The person

We are looking for someone with previous experience working within an audit, assurance, compliance or operational review programme, together with strong programme coordination and stakeholder management skills.

This is a genuinely hands-on management role. You will need to be comfortable getting into the detail, from maintaining Excel-based trackers and coordinating programme activity through to communicating audit results and handling more challenging stakeholder conversations.

You will be well organised, comfortable working autonomously and able to get up to speed quickly. Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage a number of competing priorities will also be important.

The role is offered on an initial six-month fixed-term contract, with a salary in the region of £40,000–£50,000 and a hybrid working model of two days per week in the West London office and three days from home.

Candidates who are available to start at short notice would be particularly well suited.
