HO Professional Practices - IA

This is a unique opportunity to shape the future capability and credibility of

our Internal Audit function at a pivotal time of change.

As Head of Audit, Professional Practices, you’ll play a critical role in defining how we deliver high-quality, consistent and forward-looking assurance across the organisation.

As a core member of the Group Internal Audit (GIA) Operating Committee, you’ll work alongside the four delivery Heads of Audit, managing the operational effectiveness of the function — but with a distinct remit focused on audit quality, methodology, and professional capability rather than delivery.

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.
