We’re seeking a future team member for the role of Vice President (VP) Internal Auditor to join our Compliance and Financial Crimes team in Internal Audit. This role is located in Manchester – Hybrid position (3 days in office). 

In this role, you’ll make an impact in the following ways: 

• Participate in delivering audit, risk, and control assessments covering the bank’s full scope of regulatory compliance and anti-financial crime control frameworks
• Participate in all stages of the Internal Audit cycle including planning, fieldwork, and reporting, and validating the actions our businesses take to address risk and control issues
• Identify meaningful issues that impact the businesses and activities we review.  And you’ll be collaborating with Internal Audit and Business management to develop appropriate remedial action to address the issues identified
• Take the lead for planning and delivering audit work, participating in change projects, and joining meetings with stakeholders to understand what’s new or changing in their businesses
• Prepare documented issues, make smart recommendations to address gaps, and draft audit reports
• Follow up audit actions and where necessary test and validate that the actions meet our standards and address our concerns
• Build on the strong relationships we have with our key stakeholders in the business and with our colleagues throughout the global Internal Audit team
• Contribute to Internal Audit’s ‘Continuous Monitoring’ work – where we stay close to new and changing risk conditions throughout the businesses we cover
   

To be successful in this role, we’re seeking the following: 

• Experience working in a Financial Services Internal Audit team and a proven ability to understand, assess, and describe risks and controls relevant to regulatory compliance and financial crime prevention.
• We seek a solid grasp of the key activities and methods used by an Internal Audit team, including identifying, assessing, and documenting risks and controls; designing and executing audit tests to evaluate the design and operational effectiveness of controls; and compiling findings to enable the business to implement appropriate corrective measures.
• Our team evaluates a wide spectrum of risk and control areas encompassing the entire regulatory conduct (non-financial compliance) and financial crime compliance framework. You should demonstrate familiarity with key concepts such as market, customer, and employee conduct, anti-money laundering controls, and economic sanctions. Ideally, you will have relevant experience or qualifications in these fields; however, it is essential that you show a strong awareness of current compliance and financial crime control issues and a keen interest in expanding your expertise in these areas.
• Excellent written and verbal communication.  We work with business stakeholders at all levels of the organization so the ability to demonstrate a degree of gravitas and technical credibility, particularly when discussing complex topics, is essential.
• You will be educated to degree level or an equivalent professional qualification.  Ideally, you will have completed a recognized relevant post-graduate qualification (e.g. CIA, CMIIA, ACA, ACCA, CAMS), but this is not essential and we’ll be keen to consider candidates that can demonstrate their professional experience working in a financial services internal audit function, and possibly with direct experience of auditing compliance and financial crime controls.
