About the Role
Exciting opportunity to join a fast-growing Internal Audit function focused on the Data & Analytics (D&A) business at the prestigious London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG). LSEG is a leading global financial markets infrastructure and data provider, dedicated to delivering excellence and trusted services that enable businesses and economies worldwide to fund innovation, manage risk, and create jobs. With over 300 years of history, LSEG supports financial stability and growth through a comprehensive suite of market infrastructure services and an open-access model that fosters flexibility, stability, and trust.

As Senior Audit Manager, you will lead and oversee audits focused on technology, application, data, and operational controls, delivering assurance over the design and effectiveness of application control environments across the Data & Analytics business. You will act as the application audit domain expert within audit teams, providing insight on application architecture, business logic, automated processing, data flows, access management, configuration, change governance, resilience, monitoring, and security controls throughout the audit lifecycle.

You will support audit planning and scoping by identifying application-related risks, emerging technology trends, and control weaknesses, ensuring audits address key technology and business risks associated with critical applications, products, and data platforms. You will monitor audit team progress, act as the main point of contact for assigned engagements, and ensure audits progress in line with expectations, methodology requirements, timelines, and budgets.

In this role, you will lead audit team meetings and working sessions, provide direction and coaching, and support execution activities directly when required, including walkthroughs, testing, and documentation, particularly on complex application, technology, or data-related controls. You will deliver high-quality audits on time and within budget while managing audit risk through consistent application of Internal Audit methodology.

You will complete supervisory reviews of audit files, ensure audit quality meets Internal Audit standards, develop impactful audit findings and reports, and engage partners early to ensure observations are relevant, practical, and productive. Maintaining a proactive, forward-looking approach to identifying risks, dependencies, and potential delivery challenges is essential.

Building and maintaining strong partner relationships and confidently managing partner meetings will be key to ensuring consistency with the Internal Audit “no surprises” approach.
