The team..

Internal Audit at ITV is a newly established in-house function with a clear mandate: to provide independent assurance to the Audit and Risk Committee and Board over operational, financial, compliance and technology risks across the Group.

This is an exciting time to join. The team is building and embedding a modern, risk-based Internal Audit function that works closely with the Group Risk team to shape an integrated assurance model across ITV. Operating in a dynamic and evolving environment, the team plays a critical role in strengthening governance, improving controls and supporting the business to manage risk effectively.

The role..

We’re looking for a qualified and commercially aware Internal Auditor to join our in-house function on a permanent basis. Reporting to the Head of Internal Audit, you will play a key role in delivering the internal audit plan across the Group, while contributing to the development and embedding of the new Internal Audit operating model.

This is a varied role covering operational, financial, regulatory and technology risk areas. You’ll support end-to-end audit delivery — from scoping and fieldwork through to reporting and action tracking — working closely with stakeholders across the business to provide pragmatic, risk-based insights. Alongside audit execution, you’ll contribute to annual planning, committee reporting and the continuous improvement of internal audit processes.

Some of your key day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• Supporting the delivery of risk-based internal audits from planning through to reporting
• Producing high-quality audit workpapers and concise, insightful audit reports
• Evaluating the effectiveness of internal controls and risk management frameworks
• Identifying control weaknesses and developing practical, value-adding recommendations
• Collaborating with co-source partners to ensure effective and coordinated audit delivery
• Supporting annual internal audit planning and preparation of Audit & Risk Committee reporting
• Building strong working relationships with stakeholders across the business
• Maintaining effective audit action tracking and monitoring progress against agreed actions

Skills you’ll need (minimum criteria)

• Professional qualification in audit, risk or accountancy (ACA, ACCA, IIA or equivalent)
• 2–3 years’ post-qualification experience in audit, assurance or controls within a complex organisation
• Strong knowledge of internal audit practices, Global IA Standards and the Three Lines of Defence model
• Experience evaluating internal controls and risk management processes
• Media sector experience is desirable but not essential.

Other things we’re looking for (key criteria)

• Strong analytical capability, able to identify systemic risks and root causes
• Ability to translate complex findings into clear, concise and actionable insights
• Adaptable and comfortable working in a dynamic, evolving environment
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, confident presenting to senior stakeholders
• Digitally enabled mindset, seeking efficiencies through data and technology
• Self-motivated and able to work independently while contributing to a collaborative team
• Strong organisational skills to manage multiple audits and deadlines effectively

Please note, on occasion we may receive a very large volume of applications which means applications for a role may close earlier than the referenced closing date. We’d encourage you to apply as soon as possible if interested.
