If that sounds like your kind of opportunity, read on.

About the Role

We’re hiring a Senior Group Internal Audit Manager to help us reposition internal audit within Morgan Advanced Materials— from a traditional compliance model to a trusted strategic partner. You’ll be part of a senior team that operates globally across all business units, reporting directly to the Head of Internal Audit.

This role is about much more than compliance. This is a hands-on position, blending practical audit work with oversight responsibilities. You’ll help shape the global audit strategy, identify and design risk-based audits that deliver meaningful insight and assurance. You’ll lead complex thematic reviews, coach the wider business on risk and control, and play a key role in how our function evolves.

This is a fully remote, independent role with a broad and flexible remit. You’ll have autonomy, visibility, and real influence across the global business.

What You’ll Do:

• Contribute to the development of a risk-based global audit programme
• Act as a senior partner to the business—advising, influencing, and challenging constructively
• Present findings to senior leadership, ensuring insight is clear, actionable, and aligned to business priorities
• Design and embed new audit processes aligned with IIA standards to support delivery of a risk-based audit programme
• Lead project teams to deliver complex thematic audits across a broad range of risk topics
• Support continuous improvement across the function, shaping tools, systems, and reporting
• Promote risk awareness, control culture, and business improvement through coaching and education
• Deputise for the Head of Internal Audit when required

What You’ll Bring

• Deep internal audit experience, beyond financial and compliance audits
• Ability to advise and challenge senior leaders with confidence, tact, and clarity
• Strong curiosity and drive to understand root causes of complex issues
• Ability to guide on pragmatic, workable solutions as well as awareness of gold-standard best practices.
• Excellent written English and communication skills
• Experience working independently across global operations
• CIA or equivalent qualification preferred
• Experience in manufacturing a bonus, not a requirement
