Internal Audit Senior-Business Partnering-UK, EMEA & Americas

Working closely with the Internal Audit Manager & Head of Internal Audit in a role which is a mix of audit & risk with a business partnering focus.

Client Details

The client I am partnered with at present are one of my favourite clients out of those that I've worked with in the last 7 years of Internal Audit recruitment.

They have a smaller Internal Audit function in the UK comprising of 2 people (a Manager and potentially you) with a Head of Internal Audit in Europe and a wider team based across Europe to engage with and learn from. The function has a strong reputation within the business and stakeholders are keen to engage with the audit team, using them not only to provide assurance but also on a variety on advisory projects.

This client is a household name and owns further brands that you may not have expected! They are the type of business who will spark interest within friendship circles and one that you'll be able to engage with when performing audits.

As a business, they excel at providing internal opportunities so whilst you may start in internal audit, you'll be able to explore options in finance, data analytics, procurement or whatever function sparks your interest.
