Support the Internal Audit team's assessment of the company's information technology & security operational/governance activities.
Client Details
One of the UK's leading financial services companies
Description
- This Manager role provides critical support to the Internal Audit team in respect of their assessments of the company's information technology and information security operational and governance activities, run through the Chief Information and Digital Officer function (CIDO), and any associated connections with supporting teams. The role also provides the opportunity to understand and assess the work of the company's second-line Risk function in relation to CIDO function activities.
- The role provides oversight, insight and options regarding the manner in which the Internal Audit team assesses and audits the company's information technology and information security operational and governance activities, directed by the content of the annual Internal Audit Plan. Assurance work will be directed to ensure audits are undertaken in accordance with requirements and address key information technology risk management and control matters.
- You will play a key role in collaborating and educating internal stakeholders to ensure that risks are effectively managed and a robust control environment across the company's CIDO function is maintained, although there may be opportunities to support Internal Audit in other assignments and assessments outside of core areas.
- This critical role will require the identification and reporting of areas of deficiency in support of delivery of the Internal Audit Plan and a requirement to make impactful recommendations to improve the company's internal risk management and control environment. You will have the opportunity to interface with the company's Senior CIDO Leadership team and to interact with senior stakeholders across the technology area.
Profile
- You will have varied but strong experience of information technology infrastructure components required to operate and manage enterprise IT environments including, hardware, software, networking components, operating systems, and data storage environments. You will be familiar with the activities required for the CIDO / IT function to deliver IT and Information Security services and solutions. You will be comfortable with cloud based architectures and services delivered as Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).
- We are looking for an experienced internal audit practitioner with strong information technology and information security experience, supported with proficiency in monitoring, assessing and challenging an organisation's Information Technology function and technology change initiatives.
- You will be comfortable working with relatively complex and technical areas of technology risk management and control activity such that you can prepare and complete audit engagement planning documentation, including Terms of Reference and Risk & Controls Matrix documents for reviews to be undertaken. Such documentation must include the identification of key risks and controls through discussions with finance colleagues and the review of processes and documentation.
- As directed, you will be able to competently define the approach and manage the audit planning process of reviews being undertaken to ensure the Internal Audit team's audit approach is met. Additionally, you will be able to ensure that risk and control assessment, testing, reporting and file documentation comply with departmental and IIA standards and are delivered to a high quality for reviews.
- You'll need to be comfortable with formally reporting control and compliance deficiencies to technology, and potentially business, senior management on a timely basis following audit completion, in order to highlight areas of weakness and ensure that commercially sound, practical recommendations are made. You'll then need to evaluate the remediation delivered by management to ensure that it provides for a permanent and sustainable control improvement.
- You will contribute to and/or lead closing audit meetings to discuss findings and agree appropriate management action to reduce exposure to risks identified. Taking a position to ensure potentially contentious issues are promptly identified and discussed will also be important.
- You will have the ability to develop and maintain strong relationships through good stakeholder management skills. You will need to work collaboratively to meet business needs and actively consider different perspectives, using tact and sensitivity.
- You will possess strong interpersonal, analytical, presentation, analysis and communication skills and be comfortable working across many levels and departments within the company. You will be a competent report writer, being able to present views effectively, deal with challenge and ultimately gain support for your personal conclusions and opinions.
