Internal Audit
Job Overview
Career
An opportunity for someone with a lot of potential and about 2yrs into their career wants a step up. This role sits within our Compliance function which gives lots of optionality for your career scope. You bring a mindset that thinks in terms of process, systems, and frameworks, you have attention to detail and like to get things done. Career wise, you want to continue progressing and need a role where this is a step on that journey.
You do need to have worked in Financial Services or accountancy, or very similar. You do not need to have worked in our exact sector, you just need to be able to understand it quickly.
Purpose
Within Compliance we have a Compliance Monitoring team which is similar to an internal audit function, but based on regulatory needs. They review how things are done against FCA requirements (often set by internal policy), and provide guidance on how we can get better. You will essentially look at key control processes, understand how the business adheres to them, then review the performance of the processes.
Some of the terms might feel alien, but if you are capable of understanding processes and data, able to engage with stakeholders, and focus on what matters, plus have a dry sense of humour, then this might be the role for you. Compliance is a high profile part of any Financial Services firm, so most people aren’t aware of this, but its a great career ladder to those who like to achieve high quality outcomes.
Skills and Experience
1-2years+ professional experience either in Financial Services, Accountancy, or a Big 5 Consultancy.
We can teach you the compliance components of the job, we have some awesome experts!
You have a high attention to detail, and high drive to deliver projects on time.
Able to analyse things in Excel, can also draw a process chart if needed.
You are curious how business work, a little OCD on learning the rules of the game, and love to find that sweet spot where they intersect in a meaningful way.
You bring energy to get things done (JFDI although we’re too polite to write it).
You have career ambitions to move up another level within 2 years.
Dry sense of humour.
Accountabilities
This role ensures Atomos stays compliant with our processes, activities, and controls, in line with regulatory requirements, internal policies, and risk expectations (we can teach you the standards). You will plan, execute, and report on compliance reviews and provide advice to the business and track corrective actions. You play a critical role in risk management, regulatory assurance, and supporting a strong “identify and make it better” culture (anyone can do this job critically; excellent people support solutions).
No-one entering this role knows everything we will ask of them, it is a true “learn by doing” role. You will get to work alongside Compliance professionals, gain practical exposure and build a strong foundation for your career progression.
Implement the Compliance Monitoring Framework and contribute ideas on how to improve it.
Conduct risk-based reviews and testing.
Produce high-quality reporting on findings of reviews and track delivery of identified actions – you may be contributing to management and Board reports.
