Are you looking for a role where you can assure, advise and influence risk management and control practices in a purpose led organisation? Are you great at building great stakeholder relationships? Are you able to share your perspective and land impactful opinions with Senior Leaders?

If so, we are recruiting for our Group Internal Audit team.  If you are an experienced Audit Professional who enjoys leading audit reviews, or if you're an experienced Auditor who likes to work on complex reviews, in a fast paced and agile environment, then this may be the job for you.

Who Are We?

Not just another building society. Not just another job.

We're the fourth biggest building society in the UK. What make us different? We're a mutual organisation, we don't have shareholders; we're owned by our members.

Our colleagues say Skipton is a great place to work, and you could be one of them, bringing your ideas on how we can keep customers at the heart of what we do. Whatever your background, and whatever your goals, we'll help you take the next step towards a better future.

The Skipton Group of companies is based across the UK, the Channel Islands and New Zealand.  We've the Skipton Building Society; the Connells Group (the largest Estate Agency in the UK); Skipton International Limited (our Guernsey based bank offering residential mortgages and savings products for Channel Island residents and UK Buy-To-Let mortgages for non-UK residents), Skipton Business Finance; and the Jade Corporation (our New Zealand based software company). 

Who Are Group Internal Audit 'GIA'?

Our vision is to provide data-led assurance and insights to support the Skipton Group in delivering its purpose.

GIA is a team of over 35 colleagues. You will be joining one of our teams who focus primarily on the Skipton Building Society.  The team deliver audit and assurance reviews across the Home Financing and Money Businesses within the Society. 

Understanding the key risks and protecting our customers and stakeholders are key to what we do.  We work closely with First and Second line teams to make sure that we provide timely and valuable assurance and advice. 

While our core role is to assure that the key risks in our business are being effectively managed, we're also working hard to deliver against our Vision. This might be partnering with stakeholders in the business to share our opinion and perspective, innovating and advancing our use of data analytics, thinking about how we use visualisation and story-telling in our reporting, or the adoption of AI into our audit journey.

What Will You Be Doing?

You will lead or support on a wide range of audits covering all aspects of the Home Financing and Money Businesses. The role will provide you with a great opportunity to further develop your leadership and technical skills, as you'll be leading small multi-disciplinary teams and helping to coach and develop others in the team.

While the role will be based at our Head Office in Skipton we have branches and operations that extend right across the UK.  Due to the nature of the role, from time to time you may be required to work from home.

What Do We Need From You?

We're looking for someone with who has hands-on audit experience, particularly in conduct and operational areas, preferably having worked in financial services and/ or a regulated environment.  You'll need to be able to demonstrate:

  • Extensive Audit experience.
  • Comprehensive working knowledge of leading and delivering reviews.
  • Excellent communication skills;
  • The ability to build and manage relationships with stakeholders at all levels;
  • An ability to lead and motivate small teams;
  • That you're hands-on and delivery focused;
  • Comfort with using data and curious about visualisation to support outcomes and reporting; and
  • Willing and able to juggle multiple priorities and still deliver great outcomes.
