Investigations and regulatory inquiries into the audits performed by audit firms have long made headlines. In the face of ever-changing regulation and the ever-growing complexity and scrutiny facing the audit profession, strategically managing and responding to such regulatory challenge has never been more in focus and important.

We are looking for two experienced senior managers to join our growing team to bring their own experience and forward-thinking strategic vision to enhance the support we provide the firm on responding to contentious matters, and to develop and manage the firmwide actions resulting from these matters.

This exciting and varied role is central to the firm’s response to regulatory challenge and will enable you to play a key role in driving firmwide actions in line with the firm’s strategy of continuous improvement and having a market leading reputation for quality. This role will see you interact with senior stakeholders across the firm and provide an opportunity to improve not only your leadership and technical skills but also develop your confidence and ability to challenge the status quo and communicate such challenges in an effective manner to those more senior stakeholders.
