Consultant/ Senior Consultant – Controls Assurance

Join us. But be you. At Deloitte, you’ll do more than just join something, you’ll add something.  You’ve found a place that values your curiosity, passion, and desire to work alongside brilliant people on the things that really matter. There really is only one question: What impact do YOU want to make?

The team you’ll join:

You’ll join our Controls Assurance team as a Senior Consultant in Deloitte’s Audit, Assurance and Reporting Advisory business based in Wellington.

Our Controls Assurance/ Internal Audit Practice helps organisations strengthen how they manage risk, controls and governance across their business. We work with clients through a mix of outsourced, co‑sourced and advisory internal audit engagements, often operating alongside — or as an extension of — their Internal Audit function.

Rather than focusing solely on financial reporting outcomes, our work looks at how processes, systems and controls operate in practice, assessing whether risks are appropriately managed and controls are designed and operating effectively. We support clients across a wide range of industries, helping them respond to regulatory expectations, improve control maturity and enhance the effectiveness of their internal control environments.

In a highly integrated environment, you’ll collaborate in planning internal audits, managing fieldwork, evaluating control design, and assessing the effectiveness of internal controls to ensure their integrity.

The impact you’ll make:

• Collaborating closely with your engagement team, internal subject matter experts and leaders across Deloitte. We operate in a flat, highly collaborative structure, giving you exposure to a wide range of people, clients and industries.
• Leading and delivering internal audit and controls assurance engagements, supporting engagement managers with the development of clear, practical reporting for senior management and executive stakeholders.
• Getting into the detail of how organisations operate – developing an understanding of key business processes, risks and controls, and identifying areas where control design or execution could be strengthened.
• Applying professional judgement to evaluate control effectiveness and risk exposure, rather than relying on purely prescriptive testing approaches.
• Coaching and developing junior team members, supporting their technical capability and confidence in client environments.

Your expertise:

• 4+ years’ experience in audit, internal audit, controls assurance or risk advisory roles, with exposure to internal controls and assurance methodologies.
• Experience gained within a professional services or large corporate environment is well regarded.
• Strong attention to detail, balanced with the ability to step back and understand broader business and risk implications.
• A problem‑solving mindset, with the ability to identify control issues and develop practical, well‑reasoned recommendations.
• Clear and confident communication skills, including the ability to discuss risks and control matters with a range of stakeholders.
• An interest in coaching and developing others as part of a high‑performing team.

Making an impact that matters, together:

We are driven by our desire to create positive outcomes for our clients, communities, and people. Everything we do is with intent - the intent to make a meaningful difference.

Our shared values are at the heart of everything we do. Living these values, including ‘taking care of each other’ and ‘fostering inclusion’, is essential to ensuring everyone feels included at work and able to reach their full potential. For us to succeed and thrive as an organisation, we understand the importance of creating a culture where diverse perspectives matter and where everyone is given an equal opportunity to grow and develop.

How you’ll be rewarded:

We hold a simple belief – that our people’s hard work should be recognised and rewarded beyond their remuneration. The Deloitte experience is founded on concepts of trust, balance, wellbeing and the importance of personal connection.

We offer you:

• Flexible work arrangements – work in a way that suits you, us and our clients best   
• Subsidised professional qualifications and paid professional memberships
• Subsidised health insurance
• Income protection insurance
• 22 days annual leave
• Social events, social sports teams, and monthly firm drinks
