Internal Auditor

This is a fantastic opportunity to join the Internal Audit & Risk (IA&R) team at M&S, where you’ll be at the heart of shaping how we do business. You’ll work across a wide range of areas in the UK and internationally, giving you real breadth and variety in your role. As a trusted advisor, you’ll review and challenge how the business operates, support improvements to the control environment, and make a tangible impact during an exciting period of transformation.

As an Internal Auditor, you’ll lead and deliver core risk-based audit activities from planning through to reporting. This is a wide-ranging role that gives you exposure to every part of M&S, working with business partners at all levels. You’ll assess the design and effectiveness of controls, identify improvements, and support continuous enhancement of our processes.

You’ll also have the opportunity to contribute to ad hoc projects, including investigations, data analytics, and risk management. Some UK and international travel may be required (up to 10%).
