Evaluate technology risks and IT controls across underwriting systems, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, data governance, and third-party providers. Assist with risk assessments, audit planning, ITGC testing, control effectiveness reviews, reporting, and remediation monitoring. Translate complex technology risks into clear recommendations for management while collaborating with IT and security stakeholders. The role is designed for professionals returning from a career break of at least two years.
The Convex Internal Audit team provides independent, objective assurance and insight designed to protect organisational value, strengthen risk management and governance frameworks, and evaluate the internal control environment as Convex continues to scale. While we operate as an independent function, we view audit as a collaborative journey rather than a box-ticking exercise. We work side-by-side with teams across the organisation to help Convex reach its ambitious commercial goals, all while keeping a steady focus on robust internal controls and high-quality risk assurance. Using data-driven insights and a flexible, risk-based approach, we help protect the business and drive operational excellence every day.
Our success relies on genuine partnership, trust, and shared values. Within the department, we champion an open, supportive culture where clear communication, integrity, and continuous professional development take priority.
We believe the best audit outcomes come from empowering our people, which is why we invest heavily in regular training, dedicated career conversations, and overall well-being. It is all about combining sharp control and objective assurance with a warm, high-engagement mindset that adds real value to the organisation.
