This is a strong opportunity for an experienced Senior Internal Audit Manager who is ready to step into a Head of role and take genuine ownership of an enterprise-wide audit program. It could also suit a hands-on Head of Internal Audit from a smaller function who wants broader operational exposure.

Please note: This is not a large-team oversight role. This is an execution role so the successful candidate will enjoy being hands on, executing audits and working directly with the business to get outcomes.

The Opportunity

- Own and continuously improve the risk-based Internal Audit strategy, framework and annual audit plan.
- Lead execution of audits end-to-end, from scoping and fieldwork through to reporting and remediation follow-up.
- Lead and develop one Internal Auditor (team member) and coordinate specialist work through co-source partners.
- Work closely with senior leaders across a complex national operating business and provide clear, practical assurance and advice.
- Prepare reporting and insights for executive leadership and the Audit & Risk Committee.
- Help mature assurance mapping, controls and governance across the organisation.
- Use technology and contemporary audit practices to improve the efficiency and impact of the function.

Candidate Profile

- 7-10+ years across internal audit, risk or assurance in a complex organisation and/or professional services setting.
- Exposure to utilities,



infrastructure, energy or telco sectors highly regarded
- Experience developing and delivering risk-based internal audit plans.
- Genuinely comfortable in a hands on workplace, running audits personally and translating findings into practical, commercially sensible recommendations - once again, this is an execution role not an oversight role
- Experience engaging senior executives and preparing or presenting reporting for Audit & Risk Committees or similar forums.
- Strong stakeholder management and EQ - able to challenge constructively without becoming overly rigid or theoretical.
- Relevant qualifications such as CA, CPA, CIA, CISA or similar professional qualifications

Why consider it?

- Real ownership of the audit program, strategy, planning and execution
- Genuine opportunity to shape how the function operates
- Broad exposure across a large ASX-listed operating business rather than a narrow audit portfolio
- Leadership responsibility plus some co-source support, while remaining hands-on.
- Strong business engagement with continued growth, new long-term contracts and expansion into adjacent markets.
