Edinburgh, United Kingdom AUDIT SCOTLAND Full time

Our Audit Services Group at Audit Scotland are looking for two Audit Directors to join us.

An integral part of Audit Scotland’s Leadership Group, you will be contributing to business management and leadership across the organisation. You will lead the delivery of a portfolio of audits, frequently acting as engagement lead, which may be in any sector.

In addition to delivery of a portfolio of audits, you are expected to play a key role in the leadership of Audit Scotland as a centre for excellence, both in the way we deliver our work and the way we run our business. You will be responsible for leading areas of improvement activity, both within Audit Services and as a member of the Leadership Group and you’ll help Audit Scotland meet our vision, that public money is well spent to meet the needs of Scotland's people.

You will manage and control significant financial resources, perform a strategic leadership role for the way Audit Scotland organises and delivers its work and engage with senior figures across the public sector - including Scottish Government, Parliament and major organisations such as large NHS Boards and local authorities.

Self-aware in your own abilities, you can plan and manage own work to time, cost and quality. You will have well-developed analytical skills and the ability to convert your analysis into clear judgements backed up by useful recommendations for improvement. You know how to work seamlessly within a professional audit team to bring out the best in your colleagues.

You will also have:

  • CCAB, or equivalent, professional qualification
  • a deep knowledge and understanding of the wider public sector, how it works and the issues it is facing
  • a deep knowledge and understanding of the business of Audit Scotland and the challenges and opportunities arising
  • extensive experience in leading, managing, coaching and developing people
  • discipline, and resilience with excellent project management and time management skills – delivering through your team(s) to time, quality & cost criteria
  • strong verbal and written communication skills and sound judgement and experience to present balanced findings and make convincing and persuasive recommendations that have impact
  • ability to analyse complex problems and recommend practical solutions – drawing upon your range of experiences, intuition and professional scepticism to add value that might not be apparent to less experienced professionals or recognise when to draw on other expertise when required
  • strategic and creative thinking, solving demanding problems where the answers are not immediately clear
  • ability to deal with difficult situations and challenging individuals in a calm, professional and effective manner
  • appropriate management planning skills and experience to ensure work is properly resourced in terms of people, abilities and knowledge
  • the foresight to identify potential organisational challenges and intervene before they manifest into issues
  • significant financial audit experience
