• Bringing an independent perspective that drives continuous improvement.
• Working in a fast-paced environment where no two projects are the same.

Who We're Looking For

We're interested in ambitious professionals with experience gained in:

• Internal Audit or Internal Controls within Banking or Capital Markets (preferred), or
• Asset Management, Wealth Management or Insurance, or
• An external audit or advisory role within a leading professional services firm, particularly where you've audited financial services clients.

Successful applicants are likely to demonstrate:

• A strong understanding of risk management and internal control frameworks.
• The ability to lead activities and manage competing priorities.
• Confidence influencing and challenging senior stakeholders.
• Excellent judgement, independence and professional scepticism.
• A proactive, driven approach with outstanding communication skills.
• Strong analytical and critical thinking capabilities. These qualities align closely with the role's focus on identifying risks, leading assurance activities and engaging stakeholders effectively.

Why Apply?

• £competitive salary
• Performance bonus
• Comprehensive benefits package
• Exposure to complex and intellectually stimulating work
• Opportunity to help establish and shape a growing Glasgow capability
• Career progression within a globally recognised financial services environment
• Hybrid working model with 4 days in the office and 1 day from home
