My client is globally recognised and offers lots of opportunities to progress your career within the internal audit function, but also across the wider business. This is a very typical career path and there are lots of examples of candidates moving internally from internal audit to commercial roles in the Group. It's a great opportunity to join a complex organisation that operates across a wide spectrum of the media industry.
The role is based in their London office but they are able to consider candidates based in Birmingham. They offer flexible working and typically travel to the office 1-2 days per week.
