Sydney, New South Wales, Australia be2fc9a2-497d-4073-b49b-601fabedeeb7 Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year

This established and respected Financial Services group, known for its strong brand presence and industry reputation, is expanding its Internal Audit capability. While the broader Internal Audit function is high-performing, the IT Audit remit had previously been outsourced. The CAE has now made the strategic decision to bring IT Audit in-house, creating an opportunity for an experienced IT Audit Director to shape, build, and lead this function.

You will oversee a small, capable team with a mandate spanning BAU IT Audits, PMO Assurance, Cybersecurity, IT Security, Infrastructure, and Cloud audits across the entire Group. You will also work closely with senior technology leaders including the CIO, CTO, and CISO.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and deliver the IT Audit strategy, ensuring alignment with organisational objectives.

Lead, mentor, and coach a small IT Audit team, fostering a culture of excellence and continuous improvement.

Act as the primary point of contact for senior stakeholders, demonstrating strong relationship management and influencing skills.

Manage and negotiate with third-party service providers, ensuring effective and value-driven partnerships.

Participate in sub-committees, specialist steering groups, and contribute as a guest to BARC meetings.

Design, implement, and embed a comprehensive IT Audit framework, covering IT BAU, Cyber, Security, Infrastructure, Cloud, and PMO audits.

Proven experience in interpreting, applying APRA regulations such as CPS 230, 232, 234 etc.

Help prepare the business for emerging technology risks, including those related to AI and GenAI.

Background & Experience

Currently operating as a Senior IT Audit Manager, EM IT Audit, IT Audit Director, or Head of IT Audit (in a smaller organisation).

Alternatively, you may be in Technology Risk with recent, hands-on IT Audit experience.

Demonstrated ability to build or transform an internal IT Audit function, with strong consulting and advisory capabilities.

Proven gravitas when presenting at Audit and Risk Committees, supported by excellent communication skills.

Ideally qualified with CISA, CISSP, CISM, CRISC, or similar certifications, and experienced in the Financial Services sector.

Personal Attributes

Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.

Strong relationship-builder with the ability to influence at all levels, both internally and externally.

Collaborative, proactive, and team-oriented, with a passion for continuous development and innovation.

Comfortable working in a forward-thinking, flexible environment with significant future growth opportunities.
