Head of Internal Audit (SMF5) – London Branch

Global Commercial and Corporate Bank

Permanent

Team of 4 staff

Work schedule – 4 days a week in the office

 

What if the right senior role was not about disruption, but stewardship?

What if you could step into an established banking environment where credibility, judgement, and professionalism are genuinely valued?

What if the role offered the opportunity to lead a respected Internal Audit function within a stable and well capitalised banking group that continues to invest in and expand its London presence?

And what if success in the role came not from making noise, but from building trust, maintaining standards, and exercising sound judgement within a complex international environment?

If that sounds closer to the kind of leadership role you are looking for, we should talk.

 

Your Role

This is a senior leadership position within the London operation of an established international banking group focused on corporate, commercial, and some wealth related activities.

The role leads the Internal Audit function for the London Branch and acts as a key point of coordination between the UK business, senior local stakeholders, and Group Internal Audit.

The environment is collegiate, professional, and internationally connected. The successful individual will be comfortable operating within an established governance structure where collaboration, judgement, and reliability matter as much as technical capability.

This is likely to appeal to someone who values stability, professionalism, and thoughtful oversight rather than constant transformation or organisational politics.

 

What You Will Be Doing

  • Leading and developing the Internal Audit function across the London Branch
  • Reviewing and refining the audit methodology and annual audit plan to ensure strong risk based coverage
  • Presenting audit findings, themes, and recommendations to senior leadership and the Audit Committee
  • Providing independent assurance across governance, controls, risk management, and regulatory compliance
  • Maintaining strong relationships with Group Internal Audit, regulators, external auditors, and senior business stakeholders
  • Ensuring audit activity keeps pace with emerging risks across areas such as technology, cyber security, operational resilience, treasury, and lending
  • Supporting regulatory reviews and ensuring alignment with UK regulatory expectations including PRA and FCA requirements
  • Leading, mentoring, and developing the audit team while fostering a strong culture of accountability and quality

 

Are You the Right Fit

  • You are likely to be someone who is measured, credible, and comfortable operating within established governance frameworks.
  • You build trust through judgement and consistency rather than force of personality.
  • You are likely to combine strong technical capability with excellent communication skills and the confidence to engage effectively with senior stakeholders across both local and international teams.
  • You will hold a recognised qualification such as ACA, ACCA, or CIA, supported by a strong academic track record.
  • The Bank places genuine value on intellectual capability, professionalism, and well prepared individuals who combine technical depth with sound judgement and strong interpersonal skills.

 

Why This Role Is Worth Exploring

You will be joining a well backed and growing international banking organisation with a clear long term commitment to its UK operation.

This role offers genuine visibility, influence, and breadth. You will work closely with senior leadership locally and internationally while helping ensure the continued strength and stability of the business.

For the right person, this is an opportunity to build long term influence within a respected and stable banking environment.

If this sounds like the kind of role where you could genuinely make an impact, we should talk.

Senior Auditor – Internal Audit & Risk Assurance
Location: Multiple UK Locations
Contract: Full-Time
Salary: Competitive + Benefits

What if your next audit role gave you more than just a portfolio of clients?
If it gave you access to complex challenges in financial services and beyond —while still offering the freedom to grow, to learn, and to have your voice heard, would you be interested?

We’re working with a global consultancy that doesn’t just deliver audits—it shapes how clients think about risk, resilience, and opportunity. They’re looking for Senior Auditors who want to move beyond checklists and frameworks, and into work that actually influences decisions at the board level.

This isn’t just about following methodology. It’s about understanding where the real risks live, how to challenge stakeholders with credibility, and how to guide clients toward solutions that stick.

What you’ll be doing
Leading and delivering audits and assurance reviews across regulated industries—financial services, fintech, and insurance, among them
Helping scope and shape engagements so they’re focused on what matters most
Building trust with senior stakeholders while surfacing insights that drive action
Coaching juniors and creating an environment where learning is shared, not siloed
Flexing between on-site, hybrid, or remote work—depending on your clients and your preferences

Who you are
Professionally qualified (ACA, ACCA, CIA, IIA or equivalent), with at least 1–3 years of experience
Confident in internal audit or risk assurance, ideally gained in consultancy /professional services (perhaps you’ve then moved to the financial services industry in a risk / compliance / audit role, this would be a big plus)
Experienced, or at least highly interested, in financial services—banking, insurance, asset management
A strong communicator who can win trust quickly and explain technical issues simply
Willing to travel occasionally within the UK when it adds value

What’s on offer
Work with a respected consultancy known for integrity, innovation, and inclusive leadership
Structured career development and mentoring, plus technical training to keep you ahead of the curve
Flexible working that respects your life outside of work
The chance to influence—not just report. To be listened to—not overlooked.

Here’s the real question: do you want your next audit role to be another rung on the ladder, or the move that lets you reshape how you’re seen as a professional?

Partner-level roles are open to those who want to deliver, with proven examples of individuals being fast-tracked to Manager, Senior Manager, and junior Partner.
If it’s the latter, this is worth a conversation.
