Senior IT Auditor

Sector: Insurance/Financial Services

Location: London/Hybrid

Salary: £70,000 - £80,000

A growing insurance business is looking for a Senior IT Auditor to join its internal audit function.

This is a hands on, risk based IT audit role covering technology risk, cloud, data, APIs, AI, systems change and wider IT controls. The role would suit someone from an IT audit, technology risk or IT assurance background who is comfortable leading audits independently and applying judgement rather than taking a checklist led approach.

You will work closely with technology and business stakeholders, delivering integrated audits and owning the IT risk elements from planning through to reporting. This is a strong opportunity for someone who wants broad exposure to emerging technology risk within a regulated environment.

The Role

You will be responsible for planning and delivering risk based IT audits across a range of technology and business areas. This will include audit planning, scoping, fieldwork, evidence gathering, working paper documentation, findings management and audit reporting.

The role will also involve supporting wider integrated audits, providing IT audit input into technology change and helping the business understand risk across areas such as cloud, data, APIs, AI and systems implementation.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Planning and delivering end to end IT audits independently
• Owning the IT risk aspects of integrated audit reviews
• Reviewing technology risks across areas such as cloud, data, APIs, AI, systems change and IT operations
• Assessing control design and effectiveness across technology environments
• Producing clear working papers to support audit conclusions
• Writing concise audit findings with clear root cause, risk and recommendations
• Presenting findings to technical and non technical stakeholders
• Challenging control owners in a pragmatic, risk based way
• Tracking remediation activity and completing follow up reviews
• Supporting audit input into technology projects and system implementation activity

Experience Required

• Experience in IT audit, technology risk, IT assurance or a similar discipline
• Experience delivering IT audits from planning through to reporting
• Ability to lead audits independently with limited supervision
• Strong understanding of technology risk and IT control environments
• Exposure to areas such as cloud, data, APIs, AI, cyber, applications or technology change would be beneficial
• Ability to apply judgement and assess risk in context, rather than taking a purely checklist based approach
• Strong report writing skills, with the ability to produce clear and concise findings
• Ability to explain technical risks to non technical stakeholders
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
• Experience in insurance, financial services or another regulated sector would be beneficial
• Knowledge of COBIT, ITIL, ISO27001 or similar frameworks would be useful
• CISA, CISM, CIA or progress towards certification would be beneficial

Why Apply?

• Broad IT audit role within a growing insurance business
• Exposure to emerging technology risk, including cloud, data, APIs and AI
• Opportunity to lead audits independently and work closely with senior stakeholders
• Involvement in integrated audits across technology and business areas
• Hybrid working in London
• Strong opportunity for an IT audit professional looking for a broader, more risk based role

This is a strong opportunity for a Senior IT Auditor who wants a hands on role with broad exposure across technology risk, audit and business operations.
