Company: INSITE PUBLIC PRACTICE RECRUITMENT LIMITED

Job Type: Permanent, FullTime

Salary: £90,000 - £110,000 per annum

Internal Audit & Risk Director (Big 4/Top 10 Practice-Trained)

Location: Watford (Hybrid)

Salary: £90,000-£110,000 + 20% Bonus + Executive Benefits

The Opportunity

We're partnering with a UK industry leader to appoint an Internal Audit & Risk Director - a role to spearhead their audit function. This is a high-visibility position reporting directly to the CFO, with scope to:

  • Build and lead a best-in-class audit and risk framework from the ground up
  • Elevate governance across 230+ locations, influencing C-suite and board-level decisions
  • Pioneer agile auditing with embedded data analytics (Power BI/Tableau)
  • Mentor high-potential talent in a rapidly scaling team
Why This Role Stands Out

? Greenfield mandate - Shape strategy without legacy constraints? Unmatched exposure - Present findings to Audit Committee/Board? Practice-calibre rigour - Apply Big 4/Top 10 methodologies in a commercial setting? Accelerated progression - Clear pathway to VP-level within 18-24 months

Who We're Targeting

Non-negotiables:

  • Big 4/Top 10 trained (Senior Manager/Director level)
  • ACA/ACCA/CIA qualified with 8+ years' audit/risk experience
  • Proven track record designing risk frameworks (COSO/ISO 31000)
  • Stakeholder gravitas - Can challenge CFOs and ops leaders credibly

Your Impact

  • Deploy risk-based audit plans covering financial, operational, and ESG risks
  • Introduce real-time assurance tools to replace static sampling
  • Reduce control gaps by 30% YOY through agile remediation
  • Embed a culture of risk-awareness via workshops and training
  • Overhaul RCSA processes with dynamic risk scoring
  • Align risk appetite with strategic growth initiatives
  • Recruit and develop a high-performing audit team
  • Establish co-sourcing partnerships with Big 4 firms
  • Implement continuous upskilling programs
Rewards & Benefits
  • £90K-£110K base + 20% performance bonus
  • Private medical
  • Flexible hybrid working
