About the role and Team

The Assistant Manager - Audit Technology Support & Implementation plays a critical role in the delivery of high-quality, hands-on support across Audit Tools and Techniques (ATTs). The role sits between offshore delivery and the onshore management layer, combining technical support delivery with oversight, coaching and quality control of offshore resource. The Assistant Manager is responsible for resolving more complex and judgement-based support queries, particularly those requiring audit understanding, interpretation of results, or interaction with audit teams. In addition, the role ensures that offshore delivery is effective, consistent and aligned with expected standards, supporting the development of capability and ensuring a strong, scalable support model.

· Take ownership of complex or sensitive support issues, ensuring they are investigated thoroughly and resolved in a timely manner.

· Engage directly with audit teams on more complex support cases, providing clear, practical explanations and guidance.

· Identify recurring issues, trends and knowledge gaps, and escalate these appropriately to support continuous improvement.

· Support the development and maintenance of guidance materials, including FAQs, user guides and standard responses.

· Ensure offshore team members adhere to agreed processes, service levels and quality standards.

· Collaborate with Manager and Director to provide feedback on performance, risks and areas for improvement within the support model.

· Support onboarding of new tools into the support model, including developing understanding and supporting offshore training.

· Maintain strong awareness of ATT functionality, use cases and audit applications to provide effective support.

· Support ATT implementation activity, including early-stage, hypercare support and user onboarding.

· Contribute to training sessions, drop-in clinics and knowledge sharing activities to improve adoption.

· Provide feedback into tool development and enhancement based on user issues and support insights.

· Support continuous improvement initiatives across the support function.

· Assist with documentation of processes, workflows and support standards.

· Strong understanding of audit processes and ability to apply judgement in practical scenarios.

· Experience supporting or working with audit technology, data tools or analytics solutions.

· Strong problem-solving capability and ability to work through complex queries and datasets.

· Ability to coach and support more junior team members.

· Strong communication skills with ability to explain complex concepts clearly to non-technical users.
