About the Role

The Company is seeking a Head of Internal Controls to lead the design and development of an enterprise-wide internal control framework. This senior leader will be responsible for establishing standards around control ownership, governance, documentation, and accountability, and will work closely with various business functions to assess processes, identify risks, and design practical controls. The role is highly visible and involves close interaction with the CFO and CRO, as well as broad exposure across finance, accounting, treasury, investments, operations, technology, risk, compliance, and legal. The ideal candidate will have a background in internal controls, internal audit, accounting, enterprise risk, or financial governance, with a strong preference for experience in a regulated financial services environment. Key responsibilities for the Head of Internal Controls include developing and maintaining risk assessments, control inventories, and process narratives, as well as overseeing external control resources and ensuring a disciplined approach to control deficiencies and remediation. The successful candidate will be expected to promote strong control ownership across the organization, while also identifying opportunities to strengthen the control environment through process design, automation, and standardization. The role requires a professional with at least 10 years' of experience, a strong knowledge of control principles, and the ability to influence across functions. Professional credentials such as CPA, CIA, CISA, or CRMA are preferred. The position offers the opportunity to shape the target operating model and is suited to someone who enjoys building and has a strategic approach to internal controls.
