Barclays is a major global financial services provider engaged in retail and commercial banking, credit cards, investment banking and wealth management services with an extensive international presence in Africa, Europe, the Americas and Asia. With over 300 years of history and expertise in banking, Barclays operates in more than 50 countries and employs approximately 155,000 people.

Recognised as a pioneering, customer-focused organisation we innovate with our products and services and provide unrivalled career prospects across the globe for employees.

Barclays has a highly respected in-house audit function and is recognised internally and externally for the quality of its work. Employing over 600 people globally, the purpose of Barclays Internal Audit (“BIA”) is to provide reliable, valued assurance to the Board and Executive Management over the effectiveness of controls mitigating current and evolving high risks and in so doing enhancing the controls culture within the Group. The function provides independent assurance to the Group CEO, Board Audit Committee and internal stakeholders, as well as certain external stakeholders (typically external auditors and regulators). 

As an organisation, Barclays is committed to offering long-term career development opportunities and BIA echoes that sentiment, rewarding its successful employees both professionally and financially.

As part of ongoing growth activity in Africa, we now wish to build our team in Tanzania. We are therefore looking to appoint a Chief Internal Auditor to scope, manage and deliver country audits in line with BIA’s strategy and commitments.

Working closely with wider members of BIA and senior stakeholders from across the business, it is critical that you are able to identify controls risks, provide proactive and strategic advice and offer solutions whilst maintaining strong working relationships and customer focus.

We are looking for a highly accomplished performer with broad audit experience, ideally gained within financial or professional services. Experience should demonstrate an in-depth understanding of control, regulatory and risk issues, success in planning and executing audits along with people and project management ability. As an individual, you will display gravitas, an ability to inspire confidence at all levels and an unrivalled passion.
