IT Audit Manager

Job description

Lead the audits that keep us safe Our technology and data environment is growing fast. So is the complexity of the risks within it. We're looking for a skilled technical auditor to join our Internal Audit team, someone who understands SDLC, cloud infrastructure and cybersecurity from the inside, and who can translate that knowledge into audits that genuinely make us stronger. This is not a generalist role. We need deep technical expertise combined with the experience to operate independently at a senior level.

Why this role is different You'll work at the heart of one of South Africa's most digitally active banking environments. The exposure here is real — complex systems, evolving security challenges and stakeholders who take audit findings seriously. We invest in your development, and there's room to grow. Technical experience is what drives this role, but we also support the development of skills that take time to build, it's a two-way commitment.

What you'll do

• Plan and lead end-to-end IT internal audits, with a focus on cloud environments and security controls
• Identify risks in our technology and data landscape and turn findings into clear, practical recommendations
• Engage senior stakeholders across tech and data teams to ensure audit outcomes lead to real change
• Stay current with emerging technology risks and apply that knowledge directly to audit planning

What we're looking for

• At least 2 years’ managerial experience in a banking environment, managing a team of 5 or more
• At least 5 years' IT/Technology audit experience
• Strong, proven expertise in cybersecurity, complex SDLC processes, and cloud environments — this is the core of the role
• Exposure to and understanding of IT systems/ processes such as AWS, SDLC and cybersecurity
• Sound understanding of IT risk frameworks, governance and control environments
• Relevant certifications such as CISA
• A bachelor's degree in information technology, Computer Science or a related field
• A self-directed work style, you take ownership and see things through
• Experience leading full audit cycles independently, from planning through to reporting
• The ability to communicate complex technical findings clearly to non-technical stakeholders
• Prepare and present audit reports that are sharp, balanced and easy to act on
• Monitor the implementation of agreed audit actions and track progress through to completion
