We’re looking for experienced Senior Internal Auditors to support the Deputy Head of Internal Audit. Working at pace, you’ll manage and deliver internal audit assurance and advisory work to MI5, MI6 and GCHQ across a wide range of areas. This will include topics that are truly unique to the intelligence community, such as reviews of mission-focused capabilities and adherence to the legal framework underpinning our mission.

Your contribution will make a real difference. You’ll provide customers with high quality assurance, advisory and investigatory services that help strengthen and enhance our risk management, governance, and internal control arrangements. You’ll be working on a variety of complex audits and assignments, which could range from leading and overseeing a small team to deliver a project, to conducting independent reviews in line with quality, budget and agreed timescales.

Although the role is contracted to MI5, you will be based in London or Cheltenham (located within an hour’s journey of Birmingham and Bristol). The ability to travel within the UK is essential, with the possibility of occasional overseas travel.

About You

Regardless of specialism, you’ll understand and evaluate business arrangements quickly and be a credible communicator who can interact with staff at all levels across the organisation - taking a lead role when communicating to senior stakeholders. As a Senior Internal Auditor, you could also manage a small number of newly qualified Internal Auditors.

Senior Internal Auditor – Technology: You’ll have a diverse and broad technology background. We particularly value experience and expertise in relation to cyber security, ITGC, change management, technology infrastructure, cloud computing and service management. You’ll also possess audit experience across data governance, data privacy and data security. Most importantly, you’ll be passionate about learning and keeping up to date with emerging technologies and trends.

Senior Internal Auditor – General: You’ll have a diverse and broad internal audit background. You will have experience of auditing a range of corporate and operational areas.

What you’ll bring to the role:

A strong and demonstrable internal audit and risk management background in the public and/or private sector.

• A relevant professional qualification (e.g. IIA, CCAB or equivalent). For technology focussed auditors CISA qualification or equivalent is desirable.

• Experience of performing complex, high and medium-risk focussed internal audits, and confidence in navigating ambiguity and complexity.
• Knowledge and experience of applying audit testing methodologies, data analysis, root cause analysis and strong report writing skills. This should include the ability to review the design of control processes and their operating effectiveness, while continuously looking at ways to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of these processes.
• Demonstrable people management experience, with the ability to lead small teams to deliver a portfolio of audit assignments and manage competing priorities and deliver audit work at pace, to time and quality commitments.
• The ability to engage and build relationships with internal and external stakeholders. This should include experience of successfully negotiating and communicating with customers at all levels within the organisation, to deliver difficult messages and influence change in a collaborative way.
• A proactive mindset, and able to identify methods or approaches to continuously improve internal audit capabilities and ways of working.
• Experience of data analytics, including use of SQL and / or VBA excel to query data and use of data visualisation software such as Qlik Sense, Tableau or Power BI is desirable, but not essential for this role.
• Experience of providing assurance over change and transformation programmes is also desirable, but not essential for this role.

Training and Development

In line with our focus on developing talent and future leaders, development opportunities will form an important part of this role. We will support you in achieving the professional qualifications you need to progress your career with us in Internal Auditing.

You will be supported initially by a buddy, and by your line manager throughout your posting. Internal communities, support networks and mentors will also be available to you.

Rewards and Benefits

You’ll receive a starting salary of £53,190 - £54,805 (depending on location) plus other benefits including:

• 25 Days Annual Leave automatically rising to 30 days after 5 years' service, and an additional 10.5 days public and privilege holidays.
