SJC Partners have been mandated by a global professional services firm to recruit a Financial Services Advisory Assistant Manager to lead internal audit and regulatory assurance projects for a wide variety of Financial Service clients. More specifically, responsibilities will cover:  

• Creating, managing and delivering internal audit reviews and regulatory assurance reviews within the Financial Services sector and making value-add recommendations to senior management
• Supporting Senior Management to develop and deliver the annual internal audit plan
• Leading relationships with key internal stakeholders.
• Representing the firm at client meetings and attending senior management committee meetings
• Involvement in key activities, which may include recruitment, budgeting, resource allocation, quality assurance etc.
• Generating business opportunities for the team
• Ensuring projects are well managed and commercially viable by budgeting effectively and billing clients promptly

  Applicants must possess experience of delivering internal audit engagements (and naturally possess a strong understanding of internal audit methodologies/techniques) or regulatory assurance projects within the Financial services arena.  A recognised accountancy or internal audit professional qualifications and/or memberships (ICAEW, CIMA, CIIA, ACCA) would be preferred but by no means an absolute pre-requisite if you have an alternative relevant qualification.  As this is an advisory based position, naturally you will have strong communication skills with an ability to influence, lead, engage, and manage stakeholders.  This represents a fantastic role for an individual with a passion for the subject matter to build a career in a market leading and award winning team.
