Role overview

We are seeking a high-caliber, hands-on director of internal audit to establish, lead, and execute the internal audit function across AHS Properties.

This role is suited for a seasoned professional with 10–15 years of experience who combines strategic oversight with strong operational execution. The successful candidate will be expected to personally lead and perform audits, while simultaneously building a robust internal control and governance framework across a multi-entity, high-value real estate development portfolio.

Key responsibilities
Audit leadership & execution
  • Lead and personally execute end-to-end internal audits across group entities, projects, and functions
  • Develop and implement a risk-based internal audit plan aligned with business priorities
  • Identify control weaknesses and provide practical, commercially viable recommendations
  • Conduct deep-dive audits into high-risk areas including project costs, procurement, and financial reporting

    • Real estate & project-focused audits
  • Audit development project cycles including budgeting, cost control, contractor payments, and variations
  • Review escrow accounts and compliance with RERA regulations
  • Assess contractual processes, procurement practices, and vendor management
  • Monitor cash flow controls and capital expenditure across projects

    • Governance, risk & compliance
  • Establish and enhance internal control frameworks (COSO-based) across the organization
  • Ensure compliance with UAE regulations, IFRS standards, and internal policies
  • Develop risk registers and mitigation strategies across business units
  • Prepare high-level audit reports and insights for senior leadership and stakeholders

    Stakeholder engagement
  • Act as a trusted advisor to senior management, providing insights on risk, controls, and efficiencies
  • Work closely with finance, projects, procurement, sales, and CRM teams
  • Liaise with external auditors and regulatory authorities when required
  • Drive a culture of accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement

    • Function build-out (if applicable)
  • Establish audit processes, tools, and reporting standards
  • Support in building a lean, high-performing internal audit capability as the business scales
    • Candidate profile
  • 10–15 years of experience in internal audit / external audit / risk
  • Proven experience within real estate development, construction, or project-driven organizations
  • Prior experience at Big 4 firms (audit or advisory) is highly preferred
  • Professional certification required: CIA, ACCA, CPA or equivalent
  • Strong expertise in:
    • Project audit & cost controls
    • Escrow and regulatory compliance (RERA exposure is a strong advantage)
    • IFRS and financial governance
    • Multi-entity group structures
    Key competencies
