About The Role
As IT Audit, Risk & Assurance Senior Manager, you’ll maintain the group-wide design, implementation and ongoing maintenance of a 2nd line of defence technology controls for Drax IT.

Managing a small team, you’ll ensure the team is aligned to the business strategy, the technical roadmap and objectives set out in the IT and Security strategy.
You’ll lead on the internal controls’ metrics and delivery of evidence to the IGRC (Internal Group Risk Controls), testing their effectiveness and manage the changes depending on the focus and risk.
You’ll work with the outsourced Internal Audit function to provide assurance to the Audit Committee and management that the system of internal control is appropriate and has operated effectively across the Group. This will include facilitating delivery of the Internal Audit plan and conducting reviews of controls as requested by management.
Your role will also include developing upward reporting and confirming how key stakeholders, including the Group CFO and Audit Committee, are kept informed of the work delivered along with key findings, lessons learnt along with remediations.
Who We’re Looking For
You’ll have a strong experience working in IT and Security internal controls, internal audit, external and/ or risk related roles within technology. This will include experience working in assessment of policies and standards, risk scoring, assessment of the design and operating effectiveness of mitigating controls and recommending improvements to control design.
You’ll bring knowledge of UK regulatory and compliance environments (i.e., e.g. GDPR, PCI, NIS Regulations and the UK Corporate Governance Code Reforms) and the ability to apply it appropriately.
