- Leading complex, multi-scheme audits across ISMS, QMS, OHS and EMS, from planning through to close-out
- Acting as our technical lead on ISO 27001 and ISO 42001, and helping get our 42001 scheme up and running
- Delivering clear, accurate audit reports that meet our technical requirements, working closely with our Technical Expert on reviews
- Training, mentoring and upskilling our auditors, and setting the bar for audit quality across the team
- Owning key client relationships and explaining the audit process in plain language, not industry jargon

- Strong lead auditor experience in ISO 27001, as a third-party auditor from a certification body
- Working knowledge of ISO 42001 and how AI management systems are audited
- Current lead auditor registration for ISO 27001 and ISO 42001
- You can explain auditing to people who don't work in certification, and you're confident with clients at every level
- You're a team player with strong people skills, and you enjoy developing other auditors
- Bonus points for audit exposure in industries that include software development, financial services, insurance or government
