IT Audit Manager

About The Role
As the IT Audit Manager, you will lead the internal audit team in developing and executing audit strategies that align with the organisation's risk profile and regulatory obligations. This role is pivotal in delivering independent and objective assurance to the Bank and its stakeholders, helping to identify current and emerging risks, evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls, and support the organisation in managing risk more effectively. You'll play a key role in ensuring compliance with internal policies and external regulatory requirements, while driving continuous improvement across audit practices.

You will support the Head of Audit in shaping the audit plan by maintaining a dynamic risk assessment and proposing areas of audit focus. Your responsibilities will include delivering end-to-end internal audits, assessing the design and effectiveness of IT governance and controls, evaluating risk management activities, and ensuring compliance with key regulatory obligations. You'll manage outsourced audit providers, prepare clear and concise audit reports backed by robust evidence, and engage stakeholders to validate findings and recommendations.

Beyond audit delivery, you'll assist in managing outstanding audit findings, ensuring gaps are addressed and updates are accurately reflected in the GRC system. Building and maintaining strong professional relationships with key stakeholders will be essential, as will contributing to the ongoing development of the internal audit function. This is a strategic and hands-on role that offers the opportunity to influence risk management and control frameworks across the organisation.

About You
You bring a strong foundation in internal audit practices, with experience supporting annual risk assessments and contributing to the development of audit plans. Your expertise spans the full audit lifecycle—from planning and stakeholder engagement to reporting and issue closure. You're confident applying internal audit methodologies and navigating complex discussions with stakeholders to resolve contentious points and finalise audit reports. Your ability to lead audit teams, manage external partners, and deliver high-quality outcomes is complemented by excellent communication skills, a customer-focused mindset, and a sharp analytical approach. Experience with AI and data analytics to enhance audit efficiency and assurance is highly regarded.

Your technical knowledge includes a deep understanding of IT general controls, cyber security frameworks (such as COBIT, NIST, CIS, and Essential 8), and the ability to audit diverse environments including on-premises, cloud, and outsourced platforms. You're comfortable using tools like SQL, Tableau, Power BI, and Excel to perform data-driven assurance testing and draw meaningful conclusions. Certifications such as CISA and other relevant credentials in cyber security or project management are desirable. You also bring familiarity with banking products, regulatory requirements, and project assurance across both agile and waterfall methodologies. Your experience validating audit issue closures and ensuring robust risk management makes you a trusted advisor in the audit space.
