We’re recruiting for a Senior Audit Manager covering IT & Change to join us. We’re offering a competitive base salary and 12% car allowance.

You’ll sit at the heart of innovation—delivering assurance over the Group’s most critical technology risks while also shaping how we embed AI and automation into our audit lifecycle. This is a unique opportunity to influence both what we audit and how we audit.

What you’ll be doing:

• Delivering audits across AI, cyber security, data, operational resilience and IT operations
• Embedding AI, automation and analytics into audit delivery and internal processes
• Leading risk assessments and shaping the annual audit plan with senior stakeholders
• Collaborating across teams to ensure IT risks are effectively covered in business audits
• Providing expert insight and challenge on AI projects across the Group
• Identifying opportunities to enhance audit efficiency through emerging technologies
• Communicating audit findings and driving timely resolution of risks
• Supporting continuous improvement and contributing to the strategic direction of the function

Who we’re looking for:

• Professional qualifications in IT audit, cyber security or information systems (e.g. CISA, CISSP, CISM)
• Strong academic background, ideally with qualifications in AI or data
• Deep expertise in IT audit with the ability to operate across a broad technology landscape
• Experience in change audit or transformation programmes (desirable but not essential)
• Strong leadership potential and ability to influence across teams and levels
• Proven ability to deliver high-quality audits and contribute to wider business improvements

A collaborative mindset and commitment to fair outcomes for consumers

Whatever your role, we reward performance and behaviour with a package that looks after all the things that are important to you. Here are some of the benefits we offer:

• The opportunity to participate in our annual, performance -related bonus plan and valuable share schemes
• Generous pension contribution
• Life assurance
• Healthcare Plan (permanent employees only)
• At least 25 days holiday, plus public holidays, 26 days after 2 years’ service. There’s also the option to buy and sell holiday
• Competitive family leave
• Participate in our electric car scheme, which offers employees the option to hire a brand-new electric car through tax efficient salary sacrifice (permanent employees only)
• There are the many discounts we offer – both for our own products and at a range of high street stores and online
• In 2023, some of our workspaces were redesigned. Our offices are great spaces to connect and collaborate and have your wellbeing at the heart

At L&G, we believe it's possible to generate positive returns today while helping to build a better future for all. 

If you join us, you’ll be part of a welcoming, inclusive culture, with opportunities to collaborate with people of diverse backgrounds, views, and experiences. Guided by leaders with integrity who care about your future and wellbeing. Empowered through initiatives which support people to develop their careers and excel.

We care passionately about outcomes rather than attendance and are therefore open to discussing all kinds of flexible working options including part-time, term-time and job shares. Although some roles have limited flexibility due to customer demand, we accommodate requests when we can. 

It doesn’t matter if you don’t meet every single criterion in this advert. Instead, think about what you excel at and what else you can bring in terms of strengths, potential and connection to our purpose.
