Job Introduction
MJ Gleeson plc is the leading affordable housebuilder listed on the main market of the London Stock Exchange. Our vision is “Building Homes. Changing Lives” and we prioritise areas where people need affordable housing the most.
We have an opportunity for an Internal Auditor to join our Group Finance team based at the Head Office in Sheffield. This is a full time role and ideally suited to someone looking to make their first step into industry, or looking for their next move.
This is a varied role and will require visits to sites across the North of England and Midlands as well as to regional offices, but with the opportunity to work remotely and plan and prioritise your own schedule.
Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:
* Planning and execution of control testing across the Group, ensuring adherence to procedures and follow up actions where required.
* Assessing the design and effectiveness of controls over financial reporting, compliance and operations.
* Assisting with the Group’s Provision 29 (Corporate Governance Code) readiness and supporting development of the Group risk management framework, risk registers and control matrices.
* Working with the wider Finance team including assisting external auditors and other compliance reviews.
* Working on ad hoc projects throughout the year to improve compliance and risk management across the Group.
What we are looking for…
* Experience of working either in a professional services environment or an internal audit function, or having some experience of controls testing.
* Strong interpersonal skills that enable you to build relationships with a wide range of people, including on site and at a senior level.
* Strong organisation skills, a proactive approach and the ability to plan and prioritise own time.
* The ability to work well under pressure and complete work systematically and efficiently.
We have a collaborative working environment, where everyone is given the opportunity to reach their full potential. We support a culture where people are valued and treated fairly with respect and where new ideas are always welcomed.
