What You Will Get To Do:

We are seeking an experienced and forward-thinking Director of Internal Audit APAC to join our dynamic team within a large, global financial services organisation. This role goes beyond traditional audit delivery—you’ll drive improvements in internal controls, risk management, and overall business performance.

You will lead high-impact assurance and advisory engagements, provide strategic insights to senior leadership, and collaborate with management to foster a strong, future-focused controls culture that meets company, client, and regulatory expectations.

• Develop and lead the delivery of a risk-based operational and IT audit plan, as well as advisory engagements, aligned with regulatory requirements and organisational risk priorities.
• Provide practical, value-driven controls advice to management to help build and mature a strong control environment.
• Build trusted relationships with senior leadership to support ongoing consultation, active participation in key risk and compliance committees, and coordinated assurance activities with external parties.
• Actively contribute to the Global Internal Audit function, exercising initiative and independent judgment to enhance audit activities and outcomes.
• Assess the impact of business changes on internal controls and adjust the audit plan and approach as needed.
• Support strategic initiatives, including automation projects and new business activities.
• Manage all aspects of the audit lifecycle, including risk assessment, scoping, planning, scheduling, resource allocation, and achievement of quality and productivity targets.
• Partner with management to communicate audit findings, deliver value-adding recommendations, and strengthen internal control frameworks.
• Mentor and develop Internal Audit team members, promoting a culture of continuous improvement.

Assist management with regulatory (e.g., CPS 230, CPS 234, RG 271) and third-party reporting (e.g., ASAE, GS007, ISAE) readiness assessments.

What You Will Bring:

• 10+ years of experience in internal audit, advisory, and external audit within the financial services sector.
• Deep understanding of Australian regulatory frameworks (APRA, ASIC, CPS 220/510/520, etc.), IIA Standards, and significant experience in issuing third-party assurance reports (ASAE, GS007, ISAE, etc.).
• Strong leadership skills with a collaborative approach, exceptional communication abilities, and proven experience engaging with Executive stakeholders.
• Demonstrated success in delivering practical, value-driven recommendations through agile audit delivery in response to evolving business and risk landscapes.
• Extensive experience advising senior executives on governance, risk management, and operational and IT control improvements.
• Advanced expertise in Superannuation Member Administration, Investment Administration, Registry operations, and IT governance and security standards.

Professional certification such as CPA, CA, CIA, or CISA (or equivalent) strongly preferred.
