IT Audit Manager – Markets, Clearing, Controls, Transactions, Reconciliations, Technology - London, £580/day to Umbrella (Inside IR35)

My client, a leading Financial Markets infrastructure organisation, are seeking an internal Audit Manager to join their London team on a contract basis. This will run until the end of November initially, with scope to extend. It is hybrid with 3 days per week in the office.

Thy are seeking an experienced and hands-on Audit Manager to join our Internal Audit team in the markets space. This role will focus on auditing clearing and operational controls, requiring a strong foundation in core audit practices and a broad understanding of Financial Services (with exposure to clearing highly beneficial).

Key Responsibilities
• Lead and execute audits from planning through to fieldwork and reporting, with a focus on business-owned operational controls.
• Perform hands-on testing, documentation of work papers, and evidence gathering in line with internal audit methodology.
• Assess key business processes including clearing, reconciliations, transactions, and client management.
• Apply knowledge of IT general controls and technology risks when involved in audits that include business applications.
• Participate in regulatory closure validation work as required.

To be successful you will need:
• Proven strong core audit skills and the ability to work independently.
• Solid experience in Financial Services is essential.
• Knowledge of the clearing process is beneficial, though the team welcomes candidates with strong financial services experience and a broad understanding of clearing mechanisms.
• Exposure to technology audits, including basic knowledge of IT general controls and technology systems, is advantageous.
• A highly hands-on professional—this is not a supervisory role; rather, it requires ownership of fieldwork, documentation, and audit execution.
• A detail-oriented individual capable of producing clear, well-documented work papers and communicating findings effectively.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a global brand with excellent exposure across the organisation.
