JOB DETAILS:

At Plan International, we believe every child deserves a future free from poverty, violence, and inequality. As the Global Assurance Manager, you’ll play a vital role in safeguarding that future—by ensuring our operations are transparent, accountable, and resilient. This is more than an audit role; it’s a chance to lead with purpose, influence global strategy, and help build a better world for children and girls.

Global Assurance is a key component of Plan International’s governance framework, providing independent and objective assurance and consulting services that enhance operational effectiveness. Through a disciplined and systematic approach, Global Assurance evaluates and strengthens risk management, internal controls, and governance processes across the organization.

As the Global Assurance Manager, you will manage a regional team to deliver high-quality assurance services to the Leadership Team and International Board. You will play a pivotal role in assessing key processes, policies, and controls at country, regional, and global levels, while responding to the evolving assurance needs of the organization as it implements its new global strategy.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and manage a regional assurance team to deliver the annual audit plan effectively and efficiently.
• Provide clear, evidence-based audit opinions on the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes.
• Oversee the planning and execution of audits and reviews across the region, ensuring alignment with organizational priorities.
• Conduct advisory and ad hoc assignments in response to stakeholder requests, offering strategic insights and recommendations.
• Collaborate with senior leadership to ensure assurance activities support organizational goals and strategic direction.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of Global Assurance methodologies and practices.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience in internal audit, risk management, or governance within a complex international organization.
• Strong leadership and team management skills, with the ability to inspire and guide a geographically dispersed team.
• Excellent analytical, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Professional qualifications in auditing, accounting, or risk (e.g., CIA, ACCA, CPA) are highly desirable.
• Commitment to Plan International’s values and mission, with a strong understanding of development and humanitarian contexts.
