- Act as the client-side counterpart to our Big 4 auditors on control testing and audit readiness

- Big 4 audit background, either directly in external audit or via advisory/risk consulting
- Demonstrable experience interfacing with Big 4 auditors from the client side on control testing and audit readiness
- Proven track record across all four stages end to end: process mapping, control identification and risk assessment, gap analysis and remediation design, and embedding controls into BAU
- Working knowledge of a recognised controls framework (COSO or equivalent) to structure control design and testing
- Able to produce control narratives, RACMs and testing protocols that stand up to external audit scrutiny
- Collaborative style: comfortable working across IT, finance operations, AP, payroll and close to get controls adopted
