Audit Manager FRR recruitment
An exciting career opportunity for an experienced Auditor with experience within Financial Risk Reporting to develop their career and team leadership experience.
GIA Financial Risk Reporting (FRR)
The audit unit responsible for FRR has overall responsibility for performing audit activities related to Financial Risk Reporting to ensure the overall GIA Audit Plan is delivered to provide value added assurance to Swiss Re.
The opportunity
Group Internal Audit (GIA) plays a critical role in the governance of Swiss Re, providing independent assurance over key risks and controls to the Group's Board and executive management on a global basis.
Working in the Department provides a unique opportunity to develop a wide understanding of key issues in Swiss Re, develop key contacts and visibility with senior management globally and provide commercial recommendations to improve Swiss Re's processes. GIA can provide a stepping stone into Swiss Re's global business and corporate functions, with a long established track record of placing staff into key business roles.
You will be constantly challenged to learn new areas of Swiss Re, to assess the effectiveness of the relevant processes, and to come up with workable solutions to any problems you may identify. Unlike most other jobs, you will get the opportunity to interact with many people throughout the Group on a daily basis, including senior executives, and travel to different locations. This allows you to form relationships that can help you develop your career, whether as an auditor or anywhere you may go in the Group. In addition, the skills you need to acquire or enhance as an auditor, such as speaking and writing in a clear and concise manner, the ability to analyze difficult circumstances, and the talent to negotiate effective solutions, are tools you will use your entire career.
As a member of Group Internal Audit (GIA) your main activity is to audit business functions, i.e. evaluating effectiveness and efficiency of business processes and internal control systems as well as ensuring compliance with governance and extant business rules and regulations. By identifying and mitigating current or evolving risks you add value to the business, and the Swiss Re Group. Through expertise in technical or functional area, you significantly contribute to the risk assessment and provide input in yearly planning.
For your area of key expertise and/or your region of responsibility you will develop and maintain ongoing relationships with business management under the direction of GIA management. You will also play a leading role in GIA's annual risk assessment process and in developing the annual Audit Plan, particularly in the region for which you are responsible.
You will often be assigned as 'in-charge' to individual audits, i.e. leading an audit with a team of two to three members for whom you will have management/coaching responsibility during the audit.
Furthermore, you are expected to participate in GIA's initiatives and projects as appropriate. The role will include a significant amount of travel including global travel (25 to 30%).
