Description

we are currently supporting a global Financial Services ogranisation building out their Internal Audit Information Security team, looking to appoint an individual at VP level.

Responsibilities:

The Vice President will support the Director in delivering risk-based, integrated audit coverage and providing independent assessments of the effectiveness of key applications, projects, and related IT controls and risks across the organization. The internal audit function operates in alignment with the requirements of being designated a Systemically Important Financial Market Utility (SIFMU). The Audit Plan involves a wide range of diverse and demanding responsibilities.

The Vice President will primarily focus on leading audits, performing continuous monitoring, validating issues, and driving departmental improvement initiatives. It is essential for this role to be adaptable—able to work collaboratively as part of a team on larger or more complex audits, as well as independently on less complex assignments under the Director’s guidance. Additionally, the Vice President is expected to have a solid understanding of financial services practices and to contribute effectively to integrated audits of the organization’s various business divisions.

Requirements:

• Background in Internal Audit within the financial services sector (preferably banking), with audit exposure to a variety of information technologies used in financial institutions.

• Capability to act as a technical subject matter expert during integrated audit work.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.

• Experience interacting with stakeholders at all management levels.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

• Familiarity with regulatory expectations and standards such as those from the FRBNY and FCA.

• Solid IT security and technical expertise, supported by roughly 8+ years of industry experience.

• Hands-on experience with widely used security and technology risk frameworks, including ISO 27000, NIST, CIS Critical Security Controls, the Cloud Controls Matrix, COBIT, and IIA GTAGs.

• Practical knowledge of regulatory standards and requirements in the US and UK (e.g., GDPR, BCBS 239, FFIEC 101, SOC 1/3402, CHAPS).

Salary: Up to £130,000 (plus bonus & benefits)

Location: London (2 days per week)
