Senior Internal Audit And Risk Manager

DR. MARTENS
London
Dr. Martens is a globally recognisable and culturally influential British brand, with over 60 years of rich heritage. As brand custodians, we are lucky to work for a dynamic, thriving, and ethical business, with people from diverse backgrounds, who bring their true selves to work, and where anyone can grow their career. We are guided by three core values that are at the heart of everything we do: be yourself, act courageously , and show you care . They make us who we are and inspire us to push boundaries, embrace our individuality, and stand up for what's right. THE GIG As a FTSE 250 global company, you might expect us to have an Internal Audit team as part of our overall corporate governance, however, this is not your average run of the mill team or internal audit role. At the heart of the company, the small team is perfectly placed to support and influence the senior management and all colleagues in delivering risk and assurance activities aligned to our new Docs strategy, based on the key levers for growth. This senior manager role is an excellent opportunity to further shape and develop the function and deliver added-value assurance in a company where our culture is in our DNA. Reporting to the Head of Internal Audit & Risk, this senior manager role is the second member of the team, managing external co-source partners and collaborating with internal colleagues to deliver a programme of assurance and risk activity in a dynamic and exciting global business. As our Senior Internal Audit and Risk Manager, you will be responsible for:
  • Leading Internal Audit reviews across all areas of our global business. You'll dive into details whilst engaging in strategic discussions with senior leaders across regions and functions. This role involves limited travel.
  • Overseeing co-sourced Internal Audit services from external partners. You'll work with top risk advisory firms to deliver audit reviews and help shape our audit methodology, aligning with Institute of Internal Auditors standards.
  • Supporting development of a risk-based Internal Audit plan. In our small but perfectly formed function, you'll apply your experience and quickly gain knowledge to focus our efforts where they add the most value.
  • Preparing and delivering reports and presentations to the Audit Committee and senior stakeholders. You'll communicate key insights clearly, offering constructive analysis and practical improvement suggestions.
  • Support a pragmatic approach to risk management. You'll help enhance our risk activities using data and evidence, working closely with teams like compliance, crisis management, strategy, and programme management.
  • Collaborate across functions to strengthen risk and internal controls. You'll play a key role in aligning with evolving UK corporate governance requirements, partnering with teams in finance, legal, IT, and HR at both corporate and regional levels.
THE STUFF THAT SETS YOU APART Put simply, for this role the key things we’re looking for are:
  • Experience of working in an internal audit role at an international company that’s comparable to Dr. Martens in terms of size, scale, growth, maturity, and culture.
  • A professional qualification in accountancy, internal audit or risk.
  • Excellent communication and influencing skills
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office.
  • Team player with a “can do” attitude.
  • Great organisation, prioritisation and problem-solving skills
Desirable but not essential:
  • Listed company experience.
  • Language skills are a plus, although English is the primary business language.
  • Experience of developing and delivering assurance driven by data and analytics, ideally with Microsoft Dynamics 365 as an ERP system.
  • Risk management in an international company.
  • Experience in global consumer brand, retail and e-commerce sectors would be helpful, but is not a pre-requisite.
WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?
  • Hybrid working
  • Welcome to the family free pair of Docs
  • 65% off all Docs
  • Award-winning ‘Buy As You Earn’ Dr. Martens share plan
  • Private healthcare
  • A dedicated culture team
  • 2 paid volunteer days per year
Are you ready to fill your boots? Apply now. At Dr. Martens, we are committed to creating an environment in which we can all be our best and bring our authentic selves to work. We encourage applications, regardless of race, colour, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, age, veteran status, or disability. Diverse and inclusive teams have a positive impact on our brand; helping us to speak authentically to our consumers. We strive to develop a business where our people can thrive and feel empowered to express themselves. Because we believe everyone should feel supported and included whatever their role in the Dr. Martens community. #LI-AH1 YOUR FUNDAMENTAL QUALITIES It’s never just a job at Dr. Martens. It’s a way of life. We live and breathe our Fundamentals - INTEGRITY. PROFESSIONAL. PASSIONATE. TEAM PLAYERS. They define who we are and how we get the job done. We believe each role is as unique as the person who does it.
