Engage with business stakeholders during audit delivery, managing day-to-day interactions and escalating sensitive or complex matters where judgement is required.
Ensure audit findings and recommendations are clear and value-adding, proportionate to risk, timely and commercially pragmatic, and linked to customer outcomes, conduct and service reliability.
Support development of audit team members and a strong risk and speak-up culture, providing feedback during audits and role modelling disciplined, risk-aware behaviours.

Requirements

Strong understanding of audit methodology, evidence standards, reporting and issue validation.
Deep understanding of Institutional banking products, services, customers and operating models, including end-to-end institutional value chains and supporting operational processes.
Deep expertise in assessing conduct risk and its impact on customer outcomes, and proficient capability in assessing fraud, compliance, transaction processing & execution, business continuity and third-party risks.
Demonstrated delivery of medium to high complexity audits or workstreams with high-quality, defensible outcomes.
Strong ability to engage senior Institutional stakeholders, communicate audit conclusions clearly, and manage challenge or differing views constructively.
Practical experience using data and analytics to strengthen audit scoping, testing, insight and conclusions.
Experience supporting development of audit team members and contributing to a strong speak-up culture, role modelling integrity, independence and sound professional judgement.
