> Head of Audit (m/f/d)

We are a team of 50 different nationalities where colleagues and customers come first. Do you want to be part of our great team?

You will set the direction for Internal Audit across Lloyds Bank GmbH and ensure our audit plan is risk-based, forward-looking and focused. You will work closely with senior stakeholders while maintaining full audit independence.

Your key responsibilities include

• Leading the Internal Audit function as the bank’s third line of defence
• Shaping and delivering a high-quality, risk-focused audit plan
• Presenting clear audit insights to the Audit Committee, Executive Management and senior governance forums
• Ensuring material and emerging risks are identified, challenged and escalated appropriately
• Leading, developing and inspiring a strong audit team
• Building constructive relationships with senior stakeholders, regulators and Group colleagues
• Providing Board-ready reporting with clear conclusions, judgement and impact

The team

You will join and lead the Internal Audit team at Lloyds Bank GmbH, a team with an important mission: providing independent assurance, challenge and insight across the bank. The team works closely with senior leaders, risk functions, business areas and regulators. It is a role for someone who enjoys both strategic influence and hands‑on leadership. You will set the tone, build capability and help create an audit function that is trusted, respected and future‑focused.

You will lead, mentor, and guide a team of 11 audit professionals based in Berlin and Amsterdam—including Senior Audit Managers, Audit Managers and Audit Assistants—fostering growth across a diverse, international team.

Your knowledge/experience

• Extensive senior-level Internal Audit experience in financial services or banking
• Experience leading audit functions or senior audit teams in a regulated environment
• Strong knowledge of retail banking, treasury and prudential risk management
• Experience with ECB‑supervised institutions, BaFin, EBA Guidelines, MaRisk, German banking regulation, AFM expectations and/or Dutch Wft regulation
• Lloyds Bank GmbH operates in close partnership with the Lloyds Banking Group Audit Function. Experience working within a similar group audit structure or matrix organisation would be considered a strong advantage.
• Proven experience preparing and presenting Audit Committee and Board‑level outputs
• Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to challenge with confidence and integrity
• Excellent written and spoken English; German and/or Dutch would be a plus

Why this role?

This is your opportunity to shape the audit strategy of a growing European bank, influence governance at the highest level and lead a function that plays a critical role in the bank’s future. If you are motivated by impact, independence, accountability and professional excellence, this could be your next big move.
