This is a great role for a candidate who likes to make the process happen where internal audit is concerned. You will be involved in continuous improvement and responsible for making processes & the outcome better, while liaising with numerous stakeholders and pulling the assurance process together.
If you are within internal audit at a big 4 or top 10 firm perhaps this appeals to you. You might currently be a Senior Auditor or an Assistant to the Head of Audit. This will also suit an Assistant Manager who wants to take a step out of the corporate world, who understands the benefits of being within a public sector business that can offer longevity & interesting projects.
