We are currently looking for an Assistant Internal Audit Manager who will play a vital role in strengthening Mitie’s internal control framework, assessing risk management capabilities, and providing independent assurance to the company’s stakeholders on the effectiveness of processes and controls. The role involves planning, executing, and reporting on operational, financial, regulatory, and compliance-related audits, as well as providing assurance advisory services. Working alongside the investigation and internal controls teams, the Internal Audit Manager has the opportunity to take end-to-end ownership of various activities, including shaping the internal controls environment, assisting with internal investigations, and offering ad-hoc advisory services to management.
