Data Analytics Internal Audit Manager

My client is a global corporate bank with the bulk of their EMEA internal audit team based in the heart of London. This is a fast moving and forward thinking organisation and the Director of Internal Audit is seeking to appoint an experienced VP to take the lead on Data Analytics.

This person will understand how an audit function works, so as to understand the value add requirement, but will be a technical data analytics professional.

The main responsibilities will include:

Establish an understanding of the data stored within key banking systems to enable targeted extracts to be built. Develop regular reports across all areas of the organisation/ all types of risk to provide auditors insight. Support auditors develop an appropriate data approach and identify any gaps in the analysis. Document all queries and reporting in sufficient detail so as to be repeatable by others. Interpret specific queries from the Audit Team, develop new reports to answer them and assist auditors to identify the relevant data. Prepare an ongoing analysis and performance of regular data tasks. Support the regular reporting from the Audit Department. This role will also be expected to contribute to Audit Department initiatives and work collaboratively across EMEA.

This person will have 3 direct line reports and as such we are keen to attract someone with previous leadership experience.

Relationship management will be a key part of the role as this person will be responsible for stakeholder relationships both inside and outside of the internal audit team. This person will also be responsible for training and championing DA principles across the UK/EMEA business as well as sharing best practice techniques with other regional offices (Pan Asia and USA).

This is a key hire for the business. We seek someone technical with python, power Bi, tableau, SQL skills who can design programmes as well as implement existing ones. But this role will grow with the successful applicant and there will be plenty of opportunities to get involved with automation, AI as things develop. This person will mainly provide oversight but will have the ability and desire to roll their sleeves up on the odd occasion, if required.

The bank operates a hybrid working policy with 2-3 days a week in the office (one with the whole team) and the rest working from home.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a well established global bank, who are currently experiencing an unprecedented period of growth. This person will influence at the highest level and we seek to attract the best.
