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.

We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds to enable us to bring diverse perspectives to our thinking and conversation. It's important to us that we strive to have a workforce that is diverse in the widest sense.
