The Position:
A large, well-regarded organisation in Singapore is seeking a senior Internal Audit professional to play a key leadership role in its audit function, with considerable autonomy to shape its future direction. This is a broad leadership role overseeing business process and IT audit activities, supervising experienced senior managers while remaining hands-on with complex audits and key deliverables.

Following the recent implementation of a new ERP platform, the team is continuing to evolve its audit approach, embracing further automation and AI-enabled tools to strengthen risk coverage and enhance audit effectiveness. The successful candidate will work closely with senior leadership and the Audit and Risk Committee, with the potential to progress to Head of Internal Audit within the next 1 to 2 years. The role offers a supportive working environment, hybrid work flexibility, minimal travel and a competitive remuneration package.

Strong hands-on expertise across the full audit lifecycle is essential, including risk assessment, development of risk-based audit plans, audit scoping, fieldwork, evaluation of controls and preparation of high-quality reports.

Excellent project management skills are essential, particularly the ability to prioritise competing demands, allocate resources and deliver to agreed timelines.
