Job description

Join Our Team as an Audit and Risk Manager
Location: Remote

Details: Permanent, Full-time, 35 hours per week

The Business Improvement & Technology directorate was formed in January 2026, bringing together Technology & Business Systems with Compliance, Quality, Audit and PMO. This new directorate has an exciting purpose to drive real, meaningful change across the organisation. It will play a key role in improving how we work, maintaining compliance, shaping and strengthening our technology, systems, and data to deliver quality services, demonstrate our impact and enable strategic planning & delivery.

The Assurance and Compliance function leads health and safety, risk, and compliance at Rethink. It provides expert advice, supports the Executive Team in managing strategic risks, reports to governance bodies, and oversees audits and improvement actions to ensure continuous improvement.

Role Overview:

 

Join our Business Improvement and Technology Directorate, where you’ll help drive smarter ways of working and support Rethink’s digital growth. In this role, you’ll play a key part in our audit and risk management framework, identifying control gaps, improving processes, and helping the organisation run more effectively. You’ll work closely with senior leaders, giving you great exposure and the opportunity to make a real impact.

Key Responsibilities include:

  • Lead Rethink’s audit and risk activity, ensuring focus on key strategic risks and high-quality delivery
  • Manage the full internal audit cycle, from planning and fieldwork through to reporting and follow-up
  • Identify control gaps, inefficiencies, and opportunities to improve processes and ways of working
  • Develop clear, practical recommendations to strengthen internal controls
  • Oversee the risk management framework, including the corporate and directorate risk registers
  • Support senior leaders to manage risk effectively and improve organisational performance
  • Monitor compliance with regulatory requirements and industry best practice
  • Produce clear, insightful reports for the Executive Team and Audit & Assurance Committee
  • Strengthen organisational assurance, improve risk visibility, and support better decision-making across Rethink

What we’re looking for:

  • Proven experience in audit, risk management or compliance
  • Professional qualifications such as Certified Internal Auditor (CIA)
  • A strong understanding of internal control frameworks, e.g. ISO 31000
  • Excellent analytical skills with the ability to translate complex data into actionable insights
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to engage and influence stakeholders at all levels
  • A proactive mindset with the confidence to challenge the status quo
  • Proficient IT skills in Microsoft applications

We look forward to receiving your application!
