We are seeking an eager partner to join as a Senior Audit Manager with direct reporting responsibilities (i.e., direct line management of three to five staff) who will be responsible for audit engagements across liquidity risk management, prudential stress testing (e.g., ICAAP, ICARA, CCAR, liquidity), balance sheet management, and interest rate risk management.

Success is measured through your ability to develop the audit staff, provide subject matter expertise and guidance during audit engagements, manage the timeliness and quality delivery of assigned audits, and build relationships both internally in the Audit Services department and with key business stakeholders.

The key responsibilities of the role include:

• Manage and deliver audit engagements and reports to the standards expected within agreed timelines and budgets 
• Line management responsibility for a small team
• Coach and develop junior audit staff within the wider team
• Aid and drive the development of our audit plan and audit coverage of prudential risks
