Overview

n

Ink Recruitment is proud to partner with a not-for-profit insurer on the appointment of their Head of Internal Audit. This is a board-appointed role, reporting to the Audit Committee and working closely with its Chair, with key internal stakeholders across the second line, the CFO, Company Secretary and Legal.

n

The organisation is continuing to mature its three-lines-of-defence model, and this role is central to that journey. It's an opportunity to own and build the Internal Audit function over time, in an APRA-regulated environment, working through a co-sourced model where specialist areas such as IT and technical audits are delivered by external providers and coordinated by you.

n

This is a role that calls for a pragmatic, professional auditor who can build capability steadily, provide genuine assurance, and lift the standard of the operational areas of the business.

n

Key Responsibilities

n

n
- Own, plan and coordinate the Internal Audit function across a co-sourced model, managing external providers for specialist and technical audits.
n
- Provide assurance across the organisation, with a particular focus on the operational areas where audit findings most often flag opportunities to improve.
n




- Report to the Audit Committee and partner with its Chair, presenting findings clearly to the committee and senior management.
n
- Stay across regulatory change and support the business on APRA, compliance and privacy obligations.
n
- Build robust relationships with stakeholders across the business, advising, coaching and lifting capability rather than simply logging issues.
n
- Bring risk and controls together as the function matures, working alongside the business to embed better process and governance over time.
n

n

Desired Experience

n

n
- Strong internal audit experience within an APRA-regulated environment, with a solid understanding of insurance terms and obligations.
n
- A focus on process, controls and core risk. This is not a numbers-led role, though you'll need to be numerate.
n
- Experience building or maturing an Internal Audit function, comfortable getting it done and building it up over time.
n
- Sound understanding of compliance, APRA requirements and privacy.
n
- A pragmatic, professional style, able to listen and challenge constructively, without being "the police."
n
- Strong EQ and the maturity to advise and lift the business; the ability to coach and bring people with you is central to how success in this role is measured.
n
- Excellent written and verbal communication, and the confidence to operate credibly with senior stakeholders and the Board.
n

n

Benefits

n

n
- A genuinely flexible working model, around two days a week in the office on average, with a four-day week or nine-day fortnight on offer for the right candidate.
n
- Five weeks' annual leave.
n
- A respectful, high-performing culture where people genuinely look out for one another.
n
- A board-appointed role with real influence and the chance to be a trusted adviser to the business.
n
- The opportunity to shape and mature an Internal Audit function in a values-driven, not-for-profit organisation.
