What you need to know about the role

The role will translate the Internal Audit Policy and Charter and GIAS requirements into a practical, proportionate audit programme appropriate to a complex manufacturing organisation. It will maintain and build upon existing ISO 19011 audit capability while extending assurance from process conformity and management-system effectiveness into enterprise risk, governance, control effectiveness and organisational resilience.
The role will support the Chief Audit Executive in providing relevant and credible assurance to ARAC, the Board and Executive Committee.
Key Responsibilities
* Develop and maintain the risk-based enterprise audit programme, ensuring audit activity is traceable to strategic objectives, principal risks and material control requirements.
* Prioritise audit activity according to materiality, residual risk, strength of existing assurance and the needs of ARAC, the Board and Executive leadership.
* Coordinate the transition from the initial three assurance objectives - Protect People, Protect the Licence to Operate and Protect Steel Production - towards the wider seven-objective enterprise assurance model.
* Lead and undertake complex or strategically significant audit engagements.
* Promote identification of root causes, systemic weaknesses, emerging themes and opportunities to improve effectiveness, efficiency and resilience.

* Lead and develop Enterprise Audit Business Partners and seconded audit personnel.
What we need to know about you
