We’re looking for a proactive and detail-oriented Site Auditor to join our Internal Audit team at Lookers. This newly established, field-based role is designed to strengthen assurance over operational and financial controls at the franchise level through targeted, risk-based reviews.

You’ll conduct on-site assessments, control testing, and data-driven analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of site-level controls. Your work will directly support the Audit & Risk Committee by providing independent assurance, identifying control weaknesses, and driving continuous improvement across the Group.

• Assess financial and operational controls across key areas such as cash handling, vehicle sales, aftersales processes, stock management, and compliance with Group policies.
• Analyse emerging risks and trends to inform audit planning and prioritisation.
• Report key findings, thematic insights, and monitor remediation activity.
• Promote consistent policy application and support operational risk management.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong audit or operational risk experience, ideally in a multi-site or retail environment.
• Analytical mindset with the ability to interpret data and identify control gaps.
• Confident communicator with strong report writing and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Comfortable working independently in a field-based role with regular travel to sites across the UK.
• Automotive experience is beneficial but not essential.
