Job Description
Your new role
We are looking for an experienced ITGC Senior Manager, Internal Controls to join our growing Global Internal Controls team. This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in shaping and enhancing our global IT controls environment within one of the world's fastest-growing rail businesses.
Reporting to the Director of Group Internal Controls, you will lead and support the delivery of our global IT General Controls (ITGC) programme, working closely with senior stakeholders across IT, Finance, Internal Audit and External Audit functions. This is a highly visible role where strong communication and stakeholder management skills are just as important as your technical expertise.
As a trusted advisor, you will act as the conduit between the business and external co-source partners, ensuring high-quality delivery, practical risk management and effective remediation of control issues. You'll also support major IT initiatives, acquisitions, system implementations and migration projects, helping ensure controls are embedded throughout periods of significant business change.
This position offers the opportunity to influence risk and controls strategy on a global scale, whilst remaining hands-on in the design, testing and enhancement of ITGC and ITAC frameworks.
Some key responsibilities
- Lead the delivery of a global end-to-end IT General Controls programme, including risk assessment, testing, reporting and remediation activities.
- Partner with senior IT and business stakeholders across multiple regions to strengthen the organisation's risk and controls culture.
- Act as the primary relationship manager for external co-source partners and advisors, ensuring high-quality and cost-effective delivery.
- Provide assurance and guidance on major transformation programmes, including system implementations, upgrades, integrations and data migration activities.
- Oversee ITGC and ITAC testing, ensuring controls operate effectively and meet established frameworks and standards.
- Support the implementation and optimisation of SAP GRC and other IT governance processes where appropriate.
- Present clear, concise findings and recommendations to senior leadership teams.
- Work closely with External Auditors to facilitate effective assurance activities and drive timely remediation.
- Deliver workshops, training and coaching to support control owners and business stakeholders.
- Contribute to the continued evolution of Internal Controls through the use of analytics, technology and best practice methodologies.
