  • Support partners with proposals, scoping and the conversion of new mandates.
  • Coach and develop managers and seniors, raising the technical capability of the team.

Required Qualifications and Skills:

  • A recognised professional qualification such as CA ANZ, CPA Australia or equivalent, ideally complemented by CIA.
  • Typically twelve or more years of internal audit and risk advisory experience, with substantial delivery-leadership time.

  • Strong working knowledge of APRA prudential standards, including CPS 220, CPS 230 and CPS 234.
  • Familiarity with the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and ASIC expectations.
  • Demonstrable experience owning audit methodology, quality and technical standards.
  • Practical experience of SOX/ICFR scoping, walkthroughs and controls testing.
  • Proven ability to manage senior client relationships and complex multi-engagement portfolios.
  • Awareness of the Privacy Act and the Australian Privacy Principles as they affect audit scope.
  • Active engagement with IIA Australia and the broader professional community.

Preferred Experience:

  • Prior director or senior manager experience within a professional services or accounting firm.
  • Exposure to financial services, superannuation, energy or public sector clients regulated by APRA or ASIC.
  • Experience leading methodology refresh or audit-quality uplift programmes.
  • Capability in technology risk, cyber reviews or data analytics applied to internal audit.
  • A track record of coaching and developing high-performing audit teams.
