RSM is seeking a highly experienced Global Technology Programme Manager to lead the development and deployment of RSM’s Global Audit Platforms, a strategic multi-year transformation initiative designed to modernise how audits are delivered using digital technology across the global RSM network.

The Global Audit Platform is intended to provide a unified, scalable, AI-enabled audit experience that supports common audit methodologies, workflow orchestration, content management, analytics, quality management, and global collaboration across member firms.

This role will serve as a key member of the Global Audit Platform leadership team, partnering closely with product owners, audit methodology leaders, technology teams, UX specialists, global stakeholders, and third-party vendors to drive successful delivery of one of the firm’s most significant strategic investments.

The ideal candidate combines exceptional programme management capabilities with experience leading large-scale technology transformation programmes on a global scale, strong stakeholder management skills, and the ability to bridge business and technology organisations.

You'll make an impact by:

Leading the delivery of RSM's Global Audit Platform roadmap, coordinating multiple workstreams and teams across the organisation.

Driving successful programme execution through effective planning, governance, risk management, and stakeholder engagement.

Building strong relationships with senior business and technology leaders and acting as a trusted adviser on strategic transformation initiatives.

Aligning priorities across global stakeholders, balancing business needs, regional requirements, and organisational objectives.

Managing delivery partners and vendors to ensure high-quality outcomes, value for investment, and successful programme delivery.

Supporting Agile delivery practices, roadmap planning, prioritisation, and continuous improvement across the programme.

Identifying, assessing, and mitigating programme risks, dependencies, and challenges to maintain delivery momentum.

Partnering with change and training teams to drive adoption, readiness, and the successful transition to future-state audit platform capabilities.

What we are looking for:

Are you someone who enjoys solving complex challenges, bringing people together, and turning strategic vision into reality? Do you thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy working across business and technology teams to deliver meaningful change? If so, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

We value diverse experiences and perspectives. Here's what we're looking for in our ideal candidate:

Bachelor's degree in Business, Accounting, Information Systems, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline.

Extensive experience delivering large-scale technology transformation programmes and managing multiple stakeholders.

Strong understanding of Agile delivery methodologies and enterprise software development.

Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and influence stakeholders at all levels.

Excellent communication, programme management, and organisational skills.

The ability to navigate ambiguity and deliver results within complex transformation environments.

Experience within professional services, audit, financial services, or similar regulated environments is advantageous.

Relevant programme or project management qualifications such as PMP, PgMP, SAFe, or Scrum certifications are desirable.

What we can offer you:

As part of RSM's Global Audit Platform team, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to a transformational programme that will shape the future of audit across our international network. You'll work alongside talented colleagues across business and technology functions, gaining exposure to innovative technologies, global stakeholders, and complex strategic initiatives.

We offer a flexible reward and benefits package that supports your personal and professional development, including:

Flexible and hybrid working arrangements.

Opportunities to work on global, high-profile transformation programmes.
