Summary Generated by Built In
Tired of auditing
the past while the real work happens in the transformation programmes? Our Firm’s
Risk & Compliance team in South Africa is hiring an Internal Audit
Quality Assurance Manager.
You’ll lead
programme assurance on multi-party technology transformations in financial
services — banking and insurance — and be the one who checks whether the
controls actually work before the programme does.
You’ll run the
team, own the client conversations, and help grow the practice.
Curious and
positive beats polished and vague. The work is real, the clients are large, and
the practice is still being built.
If that sounds
better than another year of the same audit file, apply.
(The coffee is still
average. The problems aren’t.).
