About the role

As an Audit Manager or Auditor, your role will be to deliver objective and insightful assurance that inspires meaningful action in reducing risk to GSK.

The role serves as an ambassador of risk management and the Internal Controls Framework (ICF); fostering openness and trust and connecting individuals to resources that will help them reduce risk.    Our Audit Managers and Auditors perform and lead audits across the activities that deliver key activities across Research and Development, while mitigating risk, specifically: Research Practices, Patient Safety and Scientific Patient Engagement.

Demonstrate a flexible approach to work, rebalancing priorities where necessary and solving problems creatively.  • Lead by example to challenge the status quo and create a vibrant, values-based work environment.
