Job Summary
As a team member in Internal Audit, you will deliver objective assurance, support and advice to all levels of management across all operational areas and functional disciplines. You will review key areas of the Group to support its overall strategic objectives, performance and risk management activities.
In summary, you will be required:
* To perform timely, independent and professional audit assignments, including reviewing and reporting on risks, processes and controls, operational efficiency, and recommending appropriate improvements to senior management. Audit assignments will cover Operational Reviews, Core Process Reviews, Corporate Reviews and Special Investigations.
* To effectively manage relationships with designated Key Stakeholders and Heads of Functions (and where applicable external stakeholders), ensuring all significant business intelligence, performance highlights and operational changes are communicated to the IA team and assessed to ensure the IA workplan and programmes accurately reflect business issues and current policy and best practice.
* To participate actively in the Internal Audit team and be accountable to the Head of Internal Audit for the effective management of individual responsibilities, and for contributing to and supporting the ongoing development of the Internal Audit function to meet evolving needs of the organisation and discharge professional responsibilities.
The role requires extensive regional travel and on‑site fieldwork, which can demand a significant proportion of the incumbent’s time. Some Business Units will be commutable but others not; therefore overnight time away from home can range up to about 30‑40%. Considerable personal and professional flexibility is essential for success.

* Recommend to senior management strategic and operational proposals to improve controls, mitigate risk and drive opportunities.
* Report to senior management on key issues on a timely basis in a clear, concise fashion.
* Drive continuous improvement as a result of knowledge gained during reviews, customer feedback and from working closely with other areas of the wider organisation.
* Take ownership and ensure delivery of the end‑to‑end audit process to a professional standard for a series of assignments that contribute to the overall audit plan.
* Manage quality control aspects of the IA function.
* Provide HoIA with regular updates on industry trends and potential risks to TW through intelligence gathering and networking.
