Audit & Risk Recruitment Opportunity
Audit & Risk Recruitment has been mandated to assist a top 10 UK firm to recruit for an Internal Controls/SOX Manager in London/Manchester/Leeds. It is a new opportunity which has arisen due to growth and expansion of the audit and risk services within the firm. In this role you will report to the respective Director/Partner.
About the Role
As a Manager, you will lead and manage assignments across corporate governance, risk management and internal controls for an envious portfolio of non-financial services clients. For example, across manufacturing, construction, retail and real estate. Experience in these sectors particularly desirable but other non-financial sector backgrounds also suitable. External audit backgrounds with extensive exposure to internal controls/SOX may be considered, as well as internal audit backgrounds with similar exposure.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
