Internal Audit Senior At M-kopa

M-KOPA

All, nigeria

full-time

About the job We are looking for an Internal Audit Senior to join our Legal group as we scale up and drive digital and financial inclusion across our markets. Job Purpose You've built a career finding what's broken in other people's businesses. What if the business was one that's just crossed 10 million customers and unlocked $2 billion in credit 86% of whom say it's genuinely improved their lives? That's M-KOPA today, and we're building the internal audit function to match a business growing faster than most auditors get to see up close. This isn't a "keep the lights on" audit role you'd lead engagements end-to-end across five markets, reporting to the Head of Internal Audit & Risk, at a point where the function is shifting from keeping pace to setting the standard. What you'd own: Leading audits from planning through fieldwork, reporting, and follow-up to IIA standards, with the independence to manage your own timelines and evidence quality. Digging past symptoms to root cause, sizing risk honestly, and writing recommendations people can actually act on. Presenting findings directly to process owners and management and holding your ground when it counts. Feeding into the annual risk-based audit plan, and mentoring junior auditors as the function matures. The honest part: this means independent operation across markets and cultures, real travel, and scrutiny that comes from defending your conclusions to people who'd rather you were wrong. If that's energizing rather than exhausting, keep reading. Organisation Structure Reports to Head of Internal Audit & Risk What you bring: A business, IT, or Business Information Systems degree plus CIA, CISA, or ACCA/CPA certification. Extensive progressive audit experience including time at a Big Four or equivalent top-tier firm this is a hard requirement, not a preference. A demonstrated track record leading audits independently, ideally spanning both business process and technology engagements. Every finding you make here protects something specific a first loan, a first insurance cover, a first real shot at formal credit for someone who's never had one.avel.
