A leading professional services firm is looking for an experienced Internal Audit Manager to join its growing Risk Advisory team in Sydney. This is a broad, client-facing role managing internal audit and risk advisory engagements across a diverse portfolio.

- Lead internal audit and broader risk advisory engagements end-to-end.
- Manage multiple projects, budgets and competing priorities.
- Build solid relationships with senior client stakeholders.
- Review findings, reports and recommendations.
- Coach and develop junior team members.
- Contribute to broader risk, governance, controls and assurance work.
What we’re looking for
- Ideally 5+ years’ relevant internal audit experience from a Big 4, mid-tier or specialist advisory firm , working across public sector or broader non-financial-services clients such as NSW Government, Federal Government, councils, health, transport, defence, utilities, retail, infrastructure or other large corporate environments.
- Candidates outside consultancy can also be considered where they have strong in-house internal audit experience across public sector or other non-financial-services organisations.
- Current Manager-level experience, or be a strong Senior Consultant ready to step up.
- Strong report writing and stakeholder management capability.
- Experience managing engagements and junior team members.
- Broad internal audit capability rather than a narrow specialist background.
- Strong prioritisation and time-management skills.
- CA, CPA, CIA or similar qualifications are beneficial but not essential.
Public-sector exposure is highly regarded, but broader internal audit experience outside banking and financial services will also be considered. This is a strong opportunity for someone looking for broader exposure, genuine leadership responsibility and a clear pathway to Senior Manager, Director and beyond .
