Job Description
More about our mission and what we offer.
We are looking for an Internal Audit Manager for the Operations / Safeguarding risk portfolio to join our fast-growing IA team.
Your main task will be to coordinate and execute the internal audits at Wise, managing teams and collaborating internally and externally with partnering firms. You will make recommendations to improve governance, risk management, and internal controls. You will be responsible for planning, executing, and reporting internal audits across a range of business areas.
The role presents a great opportunity to focus on the development and delivery of audit engagements in a fast-paced environment, focused on data-driven audit techniques and continuous monitoring. Relevant experience working in assurance, risk, or control roles and deploying technology-enabled assurance is key to driving the internal audit agenda.
We are a 4-year-old team that is still forming and storming (we have grown from 2 to 30 people in this time), therefore you have the unique opportunity to collaborate and shape the operations, methodology, and approaches of the Internal Audit function.
Your mission
- Support the implementation and operation of the internal audit assurance framework, including development of continuous monitoring and automated audit routines.
- Support development of the annual audit plan for the operations and/or safeguarding domain, including the audit universe, risk assessment processes, and budgeting processes.
- Deliver audits per the audit plan to ensure timely and relevant audit outcomes.
- Build and support a strong and self-sufficient internal audit team.
- Monitor the implementation of Internal Audit recommendations by the teams and measure the effectiveness of the improvements.
- Develop strong relationships with key stakeholders, internally and externally.
