About the role

We're looking for an ambitious and motivated Assistant Manager with a desire to gain exposure to a varied portfolio of high-profile pension fund clients, whilst developing key people-management skills in a supportive, yet progressive environment. You'll be joining a talented team committed to delivering best-in-class assurance services, adding value to the trustee governance of the schemes they manage, whilst honing your skills as a leader of the future.

Whilst we’d love to have candidates in this position work with our colleagues in an office environment, due to the nature of the role we will consider applications from candidates who wish to work fully remotely.

Some of the main responsibilities you might expect in the position include:

  • Managing and undertaking statutory audits and being involved in all stages of the audit process from planning to completion
  • Showing initiative and taking responsibility for management of the audit and your team to ensure completion within the agreed budget
  • Acting as the principal contact for the client during the on-site fieldwork
  • Managing on-site teams and assist in the supervision and development of your team
  • Delivering high-quality work to tight deadlines
  • Supervising audit teams on site, reviewing the work of Associates and assisting Senior Audit Managers in project management and client liaison
  • Alongside other Assistant Managers, reporting to a Senior Manager on large complex audit assignments, as well as managing a small portfolio of clients as manager
  • Carrying out work profitably and on a timely basis, in accordance with the firm's professional standards and to the satisfaction of our clients and audit senior managers
  • Supporting the team in delivering a quality audit timetable and providing insightful comments to report to the client
  • Contributing to a continuous improvement ethos for the team
  • Managing and lead assurance and risk management projects - liaising with clients and preparing client reports

The technical skills, experience and background we’d expect to see from candidates suitable for this opportunity include:

  • Professional qualification (ACA, CA, ACCA)
  • Technically strong with a good audit grounding, preferably encompassing Pension Schemes but if not, a willingness and appetite to learn
  • Good working knowledge of compliance and regulation
  • Ability to support and mentor team members
  • An exceptional team player, juggling a number of clients with conflicting demands
  • Effectively support audit senior managers to ensure work fulfils audit objectives and quality standards

Why choose Crowe?

At Crowe we understand that it is often the culture and values of a firm that are most important when looking for a new workplace.

Whether you’re working in statutory audit, corporate tax or you’re a marketing or HR specialist, we place our people at the centre of everything that we do; promoting a collaborative, inclusive and friendly culture while remaining passionate about supporting and developing our people as they build their careers.
