About the position
Tired of auditing the past while the real work happens in the transformation programmes? Our Firm’s Risk & Compliance team in South Africa is hiring an Internal Audit Quality Assurance Manager.
You’ll lead programme assurance on multi-party technology transformations in financial services — banking and insurance — and be the one who checks whether the controls actually work before the programme does.
You’ll run the team, own the client conversations, and help grow the practice.
Curious and positive beats polished and vague. The work is real, the clients are large, and the practice is still being built.
If that sounds better than another year of the same audit file, apply.
(The coffee is still average. The problems aren’t.).
