This is a Senior Analyst opportunity in Controls Assurance where you'll deepen your advisory capability while helping clients strengthen risk management and make decisions with greater confidence.
What will your typical day look like?
You'll deliver internal audit engagements and controls assurance projects across a mix of sectors, assessing how well processes and controls are working in practice.

Working across our national team, you'll collaborate with experienced practitioners on varied client engagements and build strong exposure to different industries and risk environments.
