Internal Audit & Risk Manager (Newly Created, Exclusive Role)

at  Hanami International

We have been selected to build the Internal Audit & Risk team of an award-winning FTSE listed online and offline retail business. The company is set for massive growth over the next few years and the first mandate we have is to find an Internal Audit & Risk Manager, who will report to the CFO and the Audit Committee, with direct line management of a growing team too.
The primary part of this role is to identify risks within the business and evaluate the adequacy of controls in place in order to minimise and mitigate those risks, whilst prioritising their importance. In this leadership role, you’ll be responsible for helping the Group establish department procedures and ways of working as we build the function from scratch with you. You and your team will also be responsible for developing and delivering the audit plan by undertaking financial and operational reviews to identify risks and ensure that they are effectively managed.
This role will give you the chance to help develop the function into a commercial and pragmatic team that provides independent assurance and adds real value to the business. As part of this, you will also be accountable for the production of Risk Committee (RC) and Audit Committee (AC) papers and will attend the Committee meetings. Given the level of interaction with Board level and Operational leadership, you will need to possess excellent communication skills, especially in relationship and stakeholder management.
This would be an ideal and exciting opportunity for a person looking to progress further in Internal Audit into a line management position, or a Big 4/Top 10 trained Manager looking for a move into industry, as. You will need to be an audit/accountancy professional (ACA, ACCA, CIMA etc.), including some previous experience based in the UK. The role will be based in the UK Midlands, with flexibility to work from home, with some travel to the UK-wide operations (circa 25%).
