You will lead individual internal audit engagements end-to-end across M-KOPA 's operating markets (Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, Ghana, and South Africa), reporting to the Head of Internal Audit & Risk. This is an execution and delivery role: you own audits from planning through to reporting and follow-up, contribute directly to the annual audit plan, and present findings to management with the judgement and rigour expected of a seasoned, hands-on auditor.

Lead assigned audits from start to finish — planning and scoping, fieldwork/testing, documentation, reporting, and follow-up — in line with IIA standards and internal methodology.

Independently manage engagement timelines, evidence quality, and working paper standards without close supervision.

Identify root causes (not just symptoms), assess risk impact accurately, and develop practical, actionable recommendations.

Apply data analytics and audit management tooling to strengthen coverage and efficiency across engagements.
