Job Description

Audit Quality & ISQM Manager - Birmingham - £63000

Your new company
A leading UK organisation responsible for driving improvements in audit quality across the market is expanding its specialist team. This is a rare opportunity for an Audit Manager or Senior Manager from practice to step away from audit delivery and move into a role with genuine industry-wide impact.
Your new role
As Audit Quality & ISQM Manager, you will play a key role in reviewing how major audit firms design, implement, and operate their systems of quality management. Working as part of a highly skilled technical team, you will:

  • Carry out inspection and review activities focused on ISQM (UK) 1 & 2
  • Assess the effectiveness of audit quality systems across large and mid-tier firms
  • Analyse complex information and identify areas for improvement
  • Contribute to long-term projects aimed at strengthening audit quality in the UK
  • Engage with senior stakeholders across the profession
  • Prepare high-quality written findings and recommendations
This role offers structured hours, long-term project work, and a healthier work-life balance than traditional audit delivery.

What you'll need to succeed
You will be a qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA or equivalent) with experience at Manager or Senior Manager level within audit practice. You will bring:
  • Strong technical understanding of audit methodology and quality processes
  • Experience working on PIE or listed audits
  • Excellent analytical and report-writing skills
  • Confidence engaging with senior stakeholders
  • An interest in audit quality, risk management, or methodology
Experience with ISQM (UK) 1 & 2 is beneficial but not essential.
What you'll get in return
  • £63,000 salary
  • Excellent pension and benefits package
  • Hybrid working - 2 days per week in Birmingham
  • Structured hours and improved work-life balance
  • The chance to influence audit quality at a national level
  • A supportive, collaborative team environment
