The role of the internal audit team is to increase the effectiveness of our activities, whilst reducing operational, strategic, and other risks across the Royal Household, Private Estates and Royal Collection Trust.

Working within a small but vital team, you’ll provide expert audit support to this unique organisation which includes public funding streams as well as commercial enterprises and a charitable trust. 

As an organisation, we’re constantly looking for new ways to develop digital working and improve efficiencies. 

In a new role, you’ll lead on a variety of IT audits, evaluating the effectiveness of risk management and control, and identifying opportunities to improve our systems and processes.

And you'll ensure a 'value-added' approach is taken; with your accurate findings and conclusions you’ll make pragmatic and effective recommendations to help improve our operations.

In all you do, you’ll ensure best practice risk management process is understood and championed across the entire organisation. 

But it’s the diversity of our activities that will provide the biggest challenge. From financial systems and retail operations to hospitality and property management, no two days will be the same. 

And in an environment that is constantly evolving, you'll identify and help to develop longer term strategies in order to actively help shape our future.

With a suitable professional qualification (CISA, CISSP, CIA or equivalent), you’ll have demonstrable internal audit and risk experience, including experience in the planning, execution and reporting of audits. 

You’ll be looking to develop your career further, and will be keen to embrace the challenges that a varied and unique environment brings.

You’ll have advanced knowledge of IT general controls, along with a good understanding of network infrastructures, operating systems, databases and applications, including telecoms and cloud technologies. 

With excellent report writing skills, you can produce high quality reports for a variety of audiences and can communicate complex issues succinctly and appropriately. Previous experience of data analysis will be key to your success.

A natural collaborator, you excel working as part of a team. 

This, along with an adaptable communication style, means you’ll quickly establish positive working relationships with a range of people, becoming a trusted advisor, able to influence at all levels.

Your initiative and ability to effectively plan and organise your workload means you'll be confident managing multiple projects and deadlines independently.

You'll actively keep up to date with external changes within the audit profession.

And with high standards and a rigorous approach, you'll take pride in delivering an exceptional customer service in the interests of continuous business improvement.
