Dublin, Dublin City, Ireland Barden Full time
About the Role

Barden is partnering with a leading global organisation in the digital technology space to identify a Manager - IT Project Controls, focused on independent oversight and assurance across a major global finance transformation programme. We're seeking professionals who specialise in programme assurance and change governance to ensure large-scale change initiatives meet high standards of control, risk management, and compliance. The role emphasises embedding and operating effective controls, frameworks, and stakeholder engagement across finance-impacting initiatives.

Responsibilities

  • Provide independent oversight and assurance over the IT elements of a global finance transformation programme, ensuring adherence to change control and governance frameworks.
  • Monitor, test, and report on programme compliance with internal controls, highlighting control gaps or areas of non-compliance.
  • Support the design and embedding of sustainable IT change control processes across finance-impacting initiatives.
  • Develop clear documentation and audit trails for IT programme and change controls, ensuring full traceability and accountability.
  • Engage with internal stakeholders (IT, Finance, Risk, Controls) to ensure input, ownership, and challenge across the transformation lifecycle.
  • Prepare assurance updates and risk-based reporting for senior leadership, outlining control performance, risks, and remediation plans.
  • Collaborate with internal and external auditors as needed, providing evidence and insight into programme assurance activity.

About the Person

  • Experienced in project assurance, IT controls assurance, or programme governance – ideally within large, complex organisations.
  • Strong understanding of change control frameworks; ICFR/SOX compliance would be advantageous.
  • Able to interpret and apply policy and regulatory standards within a programme context, ensuring practical and effective control environments.
  • Comfortable working across global teams, with strong influencing and communication skills at senior stakeholder level.
  • Ideally has experience with major transformation programmes (e.g., ERP, GRC, finance systems) where assurance and governance were key to success.
  • Qualifications in audit, controls, project assurance or technology (e.g., CISA, ACA, PMP) are advantageous.

This is a permanent role and is hybrid working based in Dublin offices – 2/3 days a week.
