SIG Plc.
SIG Plc. is a leading supplier of specialist building materials to trade customers across Europe with strong positions in its core markets as a specialist distributor of insulation and interiors products and as a merchant of roofing and exteriors products.
What is the role:
- Maternity Cover
- Hybrid Working
- French Speaking
We are looking for a Group Internal Audit Manager to join our established Group Internal Audit and Risk function and take ownership of the Internal Audit programme for operations in SIG France. Reporting directly to the Group Head of Internal Audit, this is a high-profile role offering significant exposure to senior stakeholders across a UK-listed, pan-European Group operating in a dynamic and evolving environment.
What you will be doing:
This is an opportunity to step into a role with genuine responsibility and visibility. You will manage the full audit lifecycle for SIG France, from risk assessment and planning through to fieldwork, reporting and follow-up, delivering a varied programme of operational, branch, financial and compliance audits. You will work closely with senior operational and Finance leaders, providing independent assurance, constructive challenge and practical recommendations while recognising the commercial context in which the business operates.
The Group is at an exciting point in its evolution, with a clear strategy for its next phase of growth and development. This creates a dynamic environment for Internal Audit, with opportunities to engage with senior stakeholders on the risks arising from strategic change and help ensure the control environment continues to enable the Group to achieve its objectives.
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 are also developing a more modern, data-led approach to Internal Audit. Data analytics and AI-augmented ACL tools are increasingly being used to interrogate large datasets, identify trends, anomalies and control exceptions, and focus assurance activity on areas of heightened risk. You will be part of a team with an active agenda to use technology and data to make Internal Audit more targeted, insightful and risk-focused.
This maternity-cover opportunity offers significant senior stakeholder exposure, ownership of a defined geographical audit portfolio and the opportunity to contribute to the continued development of a forward-looking, data-led Internal Audit function within a listed pan-European Group.
What you will bring:
We are looking for an experienced Internal Audit Manager with strong risk-based audit experience, ideally gained within a listed, international or multi-site organisation. Experience of operational, branch or site auditing would be particularly relevant, alongside strong commercial awareness and the ability to build effective relationships, influence and constructively challenge senior stakeholders.
A professional qualification such as ACA, ACCA, CIMA, CIA or CMIIA is required, and fluency in French is essential. You will be comfortable working autonomously, with regular travel to branches and operational locations across France as a key requirement of the role. When not travelling, the role is primarily home-based, with occasional attendance at UK locations, including the Group Head Office, as required.
