Even in these difficult times, Macmillan has expanded the help that they offer. In April 2012 the UCH Macmillan Cancer Centre opened and now sees an average of 7,300 patients per month. With an ageing population and cancer affecting one in three of us, the demand for their support is increasing. Last year,148,826 people received support from the Macmillan Support Line.

Over 96% of Macmillan’s income comes from voluntary sources. In line with its ambition and as the number of people living with cancer increases, Macmillan is committed to extending its services’ reach, necessitating an increase in supporter income.

Organisations rely on controls to mitigate risk and ensure regulatory compliance. However, with increases in the scale and importance of regulation, complexity and significance of IT, and the profile that effective risk management has within organisations, managing risks and implementing robust controls to address those risks can be difficult.

Managing risk and establishing effective controls are at the heart of good governance and sustainable superior business performance. Our team of 600 UK professionals offer unrivalled depth of experience in providing governance, risk, control and assurance solutions to client needs. We design, implement and provide assurance over business process and technology controls to manage the risks our clients face on a day-to-day basis.

Our ethical and regulatory compliance team are supporting organisations to design and implement anti-bribery and corruption (ABC) programmes; identify gaps in existing control structures and support companies to deliver control enhancements including training and policy. More widely, the Act is acting as a catalyst to drive organisations to look at their compliance activity.

We are currently looking for Senior Managers with the below experience and qualifications:

-    A 2:1 degree or above or equivalent qualification or experience
-    Detailed knowledge of current ABC legislation, or similar and a good understanding of how compliance oversight, governance and control is applied in organisations
-    Powerful management, leadership, and client influencing skills.

-   Strong business development experience - identifying opportunities, networking and building relationships
-   Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including report writing, presentation and interpersonal.
-   Able to distil complex issues to appropriate briefings for Deloitte and client management.
-   Proven ability of managing more junior members of staff to achieve career goals and objectives

Knowledge of auditing techniques (including risk assessment, audit scoping, devising audit approach, process mapping, controls testing, substantive audit testing) an advantage but not essential. Language skills also advantageous but not necessary.
