IT Audit contractor

I’m currently supporting a highly regarded financial services organisation that is looking to appoint an experienced IT Audit contractor on an interim basis.

The role offers exposure across technology risk, cyber security, cloud environments, operational resilience, data governance and third-party risk, working closely with senior stakeholders in a fast-paced and evolving environment.

This is a London-based role and will require attendance in the office three days per week.

The position would suit a technically strong, hands-on IT Auditor who has operated at a senior level and is comfortable challenging senior stakeholders, including Heads of IT and Technology leadership teams. The successful candidate will be expected to assess the maturity of the technology control environment, help shape the firm’s IT risk framework and lay the foundations for a longer-term IT audit plan.

Equally important is the ability to remain close to the detail and “look under the hood”, undertaking testing, interrogating systems and independently validating whether key controls are genuinely in place and operating effectively.

I’m keen to speak with IT Auditors who have experience within financial services and are comfortable operating autonomously, delivering end-to-end audit engagements and providing pragmatic, risk-based assurance.
