We are underwriters of risk, growth, progress and opportunity. We are a global team focused on disciplined capital allocation and long-term value creation for all stakeholders, who care deeply about our impact on communities and the wider world.

A placement offered for a 13-month period, within the International Internal Audit team based in London.

Today’s organisations face many strategic, financial and operational risks that can stop them from achieving their goals. We take a deep, objective look at various operational and finance functions to evaluate the effectiveness of controls to manage potential risks. A career in internal audit gives you front-row seats to how organisations operate. Internal Auditors regularly interact with various departments and stakeholders throughout the year. Each audit cycle regularly entails gathering an understanding of the business process, interviewing process owners, evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of controls. Observations and opportunities for improvement are presented to key stakeholders verbally and in the form of written reports.

A successful applicant will therefore get the opportunity to:

• Learn about the insurance industry and how insurance works

• Gain exposure to various auditing techniques and test strategies

• Gain exposure to different departments within an insurance organisation

• Work with colleagues from different geographical locations, time zones and cultures

• Practice presentation skills and gain exposure to formal report writing

• Develop organisational and self-management skills

• Develop problem solving, communication, interpersonal and teamwork skills

• Communicate with individuals across different areas of the business, through email correspondence and in-person meetings

• Develop IT skills across different insurance software, as well as Microsoft Office

Everest is committed to recruiting and retaining the most talented individuals in the industry and offers a competitive salary for this placement year role.

The role offered is 35 hours a week, with 2 days remote and 3 days a week in our office in 40 Lime Street, London, EC3M 7AW.

We are seeking an enthusiastic self-starter who is quick to learn and always up for a challenge. Someone currently in their second or third year of an Accounting or Finance degree. A successful applicant will be fully supported during the placement with a dedicated line manager and core team to learn from and be supported by. Work assignments will entail a wide variety of projects, which requires an applicant to be adaptable and highly organised. Strong verbal and written communication skills are essential.

If that sounds like you, we know you will enjoy being part of our team.

What if I don’t meet every requirement? At Everest we are dedicated to building an inclusive and authentic workplace. So, if you are excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every element in the job description, we still encourage you to apply. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles. Please let us know if you need any accommodations throughout the application or interview process.
