The ideal candidate will be a professionally qualified and experienced Internal Audit leader, holding a qualification such as ACA, ACCA, CIMA or CIIA, with strong expertise across internal controls, risk management and governance. You'll have the credibility and confidence to build relationships with Executive and senior stakeholders, lead complex risk-based audits and present clear, commercially focused findings and recommendations. Experience within financial services is desirable and previous exposure to the insurance industry would be particularly advantageous, while technology audit and data analytics experience would also be beneficial. Strong leadership capability is important, with line management experience desirable as the successful candidate will have one direct report in Guernsey.
