HW Finance is delighted to be exclusively supporting a leading Yorkshire-based organisation in the appointment of a Senior Internal Audit Manager.
This is more than a Senior Internal Audit Manager position. Working closely with the business and the current Head of Audit, the role has been specifically designed to support long-term succession planning and offers a clear opportunity to progress into a future Head of Audit position. The successful candidate will gain extensive exposure to executive stakeholders, strategic initiatives and audit leadership responsibilities, making it an outstanding opportunity for an ambitious audit professional seeking the next step in their career.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a highly respected business and take on a senior leadership role within the internal Audit function.
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.
