Senior Auditor

The ICE Internal Audit Group is a global function with more than 80 staff across the US, UK and India, with around 10 staff based in London. The London team provides independent, reliable and timely assurance over the control environment across nine entities in London, Amsterdam, Singapore and Abu Dhabi, spanning exchanges, clearing houses, a trade repository and a benchmark administrator.

The Senior Internal Auditor is a delivery role. You will take ownership of assigned sections of audit engagements by identifying the risks and key controls in your area, performing the testing, documenting the evidence and drafting any issue arising. You will be working to methodology and to a standard that survives independent review.

You will work alongside people from diverse skillsets and backgrounds where creative problem-solving meets analytical rigor. We look for hybrid thinkers who can move from whiteboard ideation to structured testing, turning complex processes into simple, evidence-based conclusions. You will be expected to think like a risk architect, test like a scientist, and write like an advisor.
