Senior Auditor required for a 12 month fixed term contract with a leading public sector organisation headquartered in central Birmingham, West Midlands. There is a potential for a permanent conversion at the end of the contract, depending on the group’s circumstances.

As the Senior Auditor, you will report into an Internal Audit Manager and be responsible for your own portfolio of audit programmes across finance, operations, IT and health and safety. You’ll be managing audit schedules from beginning-to-end and frequently be out across the business campaigning with stakeholders from middle management through to C-suite.

In your role, you’ll be primarily responsible for:

• Prepare detailed audit testing plans that focus on key risks. This will involve gathering information by meeting people at all levels across the group.
• Carry out rigorous audit testing, flexing work plans in response to findings and emerging risks.

• Act as an advocate for internal control, sharing expertise within the team and encouraging best practice behaviours across the business.
• Write clear, concise, robust and balanced audit reports.
• Lead or participate in tasks or projects required to meet departmental objectives.
• The role will also manage relationships with key stakeholders across the business and with other team members.

This 12 month fixed term contract is paying a starting salary of £50,000 to £55,000 with a bit of flexibility on the base salary. You’ll also receive a leading pension plan and generous holiday allowance, and be offered hybrid working – expected in the office two days per week.

The ideal candidate will:

• be a qualified accountant (ACA, CA or ACCA) or a qualified internal auditor (IIA), though QBE candidates with strong audit experience are also considered
• have experience in audit across IT systems and general controls
• have experience managing end-to-end audit programmes
• be a strong business partner able to challenge and influence at all levels
• be available on one month’s notice or less
