Job Description
Gifford and Partners have been asked to appoint a key role in a fast-growth and dynamic business based in Leeds in the capacity of Senior Internal Controls Specialist. As a result of global growth, my client is investing further in its internal controls environment, and the Senior Internal Controls Specialist will be a high-visibility role. This is not a tick-box internal audit or SOX testing position. Instead, you'll sit at the heart of the business working closely with finance teams, control owners and auditors to identify where controls need strengthening, help design practical solutions, and add real value as the organisation continues to scale.
Why this role?
* Less testing, more judgment and influencing
* The chance to fix issues, not just report on them
* Strong exposure to senior stakeholders and global teams
* A genuinely relationship-led, advisory remit
