Global Head of Internal Audit
London | Hybrid | European Travel | £90,000 + Benefits
We're looking for a bright, ambitious and people-focused auditor who wants more than a traditional audit role.
If you enjoy travelling, building relationships, understanding how businesses really work and adding genuine commercial value, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.
We're partnering with a growing, PE-backed international engineering and project services business to appoint their Global Head of Internal Audit.
Whilst this is a Head of role, we're very happy to consider someone ready to step into their first global leadership position. Attitude, ambition and personality are just as important as experience. This isn't about ticking boxes.
It's about partnering with the business, identifying opportunities, strengthening controls and helping the organisation continue to grow.
Reporting directly to the Group CFO, you'll work closely with the Board and Executive Team, travelling across Europe to understand the business, build relationships and influence positive change.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We're particularly interested in candidates with a European background or additional European language skills. You'll be working with teams across the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, Hungary, Romania, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, so an international mindset would be a real advantage.
What you'll be doing
- Develop and deliver the Group Internal Audit plan across the international business.
- Lead operational, financial and commercial audits, identifying practical improvements.
- Partner with senior leaders to strengthen controls, improve processes and reduce risk.
- Present findings and recommendations to the Board and Executive Team.
- Support the continued development of the Group's risk and governance framework.
- Build trusted relationships with teams across multiple European countries.
About you
- ACA, ACCA, CIA or equivalent qualified.
- Internal audit experience gained in practice, industry or a combination of both.
- Ready to step into a Global Head of Internal Audit role, or already operating at this level.
- Commercially curious, pragmatic and confident influencing senior stakeholders.
- A fun, engaging people person who enjoys getting out into the business rather than sitting behind a desk.
- Ambitious and excited by the opportunity to shape and develop a global function.
- Happy travelling across Europe and working with different cultures.
- European language skills would be highly advantageous.
- Experience within engineering, manufacturing, construction, infrastructure, industrial or other project-led businesses would be beneficial, but isn't essential.
