Internal Audit Manager

Internal Audit Manager

Mary’s Meals serves nutritious school meals to children living in some of the world’s poorest communities. The promise of a meal attracts these hungry children into the classroom, giving them the energy to learn and hope for a better future.

Mary's Meals International is looking for a dedicated Internal Audit Manager to help ensure our global work remains effective, accountable and aligned with our values. Reporting to the Head of Risk & Assurance, you’ll play a key role in delivering high-quality audit work, strengthening internal controls, and supporting the Internal Audit team to grow and thrive. As Internal Audit Manager, you will support the management of key risks by assessing global control frameworks and working across the Mary’s Meals network to agree meaningful improvements.

We are happy for you to work remotely and flexibly, in a way that best supports your work life balance. There is also an office near Glasgow city centre for those who live nearby and would like to work from here occasionally or on a regular basis.

You will be required to travel to countries where our programmes operate as part of your role, and you will be required to register with the Protected Vulnerable Group Scheme or local equivalent before undertaking your role.

Key responsibilities include but are not limited to: 

• Lead, design and deliver high-quality assurance work across Mary's Meals International's global programmes.
• Develop, coach and inspire Internal Audit Officers, fostering a culture of learning, collaboration and continuous improvement.
• Engage with colleagues across the network to assess risk and strengthen controls.
• Produce clear, insightful reports and deliver a rigorous follow up programme of agreed actions.
• Support the development of the internal audit plan and strategy.
• Support the Head of Risk & Assurance in ensuring that implementation of agreed actions is being tracked and reported on, as needed.​

About you:

• Strong internal audit experience (in-house or practice) with a keen eye for detail.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to engage at all levels across a diverse global movement.
• Strong people management experience, with experience of mentoring others and leading by example.
• Excellent critical thinking skills, with the ability to analyse complex data, and write clear, meaningful reports.
• Willingness to travel internationally to support our work across the Mary’s Meals family (up to 25% travel).
• Experience of working in the charity sector would be beneficial but not essential.
• Professional accountancy or internal audit qualification (CCAB, Chartered IIA) is desirable but not essential.
