You'll also gain exposure to significant projects and contribute to the continuous improvement of IT risk assurance in a dynamic, evolving environment.

What you'll be doing

* Providing independent assurance over a high-profile business merger and its associated system integrations.
* Delivering assurance on critical technology projects, including a new ERP implementation, cloud migrations, and security enhancements.
* Performing audits across IT security, data protection, change management, access controls, and business continuity/disaster recovery.
* Collaborating with financial auditors to assess IT controls within key business processes such as Purchase to Pay, Sales to Cash, and Inventory.

* Strong understanding of IT risk management, IT controls, and information security principles.
* Experience auditing ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Dynamics AX/365) and cloud environments.
* Professional qualifications such as CISA, CISSP, or similar are valued but not essential with extensive relevant experience.
* Ability to work proficiently, managing multiple priorities and delivering to deadlines.
* Proficiency in stakeholder management, with the confidence to engage at senior levels.
* Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, able to translate technical risks into business-friendly language.
