Alternatively, Grant Thornton

At Grant Thornton we do things differently - looking to the future, driving ambitious growth and pioneering positive change in our industry. Providing audit, tax and advisory services, we empower clients through strategic insight, curiosity, and genuine partnership. And we empower our people with real opportunity, an inclusive culture and work life balance. A true alternative.

With over 5,000 people in the UK, and a presence in 150 global markets, we're on an ambitious journey, from great to exceptional, and we need the best people to help us achieve our potential. And with that comes the opportunity to help redefine what our industry looks like, and what you want from your career.

Job Description:

MORE THAN YOU EXPECTED

Grant Thornton UK LLP is part of a global network of independent audit, tax and advisory firms, made up of some 58,000 people in over 135 countries. We're a team of independent thinkers who put quality, inclusion and integrity first. All around the world we bring a different experience to our clients. A better experience. One that delivers the expertise they need in a way that goes beyond. Personal, proactive, and agile. That's Grant Thornton.

NEW GROUND WON’T BREAK ITSELF.

Every day our teams help people in businesses and communities to do what is right and achieve their goals.

The Information Systems department is responsible for delivering and supporting the IT services that the firm relies on every day. Within it, the Service Management team plays a critical role in ensuring those services are delivered to a consistently high standard. We do this by operating and continuously improving our Service Management System, maintaining our ISO 20000 certification, and contributing to the upkeep of our ISO 27001 certification.

We’re happy to talk flexible working and consider reduced hours and job shares, we’ll support you to balance your work and life.

The Governance Analyst role sits within the Service Management team and works closely with colleagues across Information Systems and the wider firm. It is the single point of ownership for the governance that keeps our Service Management System honest and audit-ready: risk, service continuity, improvement, and our response to both internal and external audits. The role also looks after the two repositories the firm relies on to find help and technical information about our services. It is a varied role that blends hands-on governance work with a continuous-improvement mindset, suiting someone who takes satisfaction in order, evidence, and well-run processes.

As a Governance Analyst within our Information Systems department, you will:

Own and run the firm’s risk management cycle for the Service Management System and Information Security Management System, maintaining the risk register and leading regular risk reviews.

Plan and run service continuity testing, making sure the team knows how it would respond if a key service were lost and that lessons are captured and acted on.

Drive improvement actions from raised to closed, keeping the improvement register current and chasing actions through to completion.

Lead internal audit activity for the Service Management System, including scheduling, and following up on findings.

Help organise the team’s response to external audits, including the ISO 20000 surveillance cycle.

Act as custodian of our two information repositories, Systems Solutions (customer self-help) and Service Information (technical documentation about services), owning their structure, quality standards, and review cycle while the content itself is authored by the teams who hold the knowledge.

Work with AI tooling, including Claude, to take the manual effort out of governance work, for example drafting first-cut risk updates and flagging stale or missing repository content for review.

Communicate clearly with colleagues at all levels, from technical specialists to senior stakeholders, and help embed a culture of evidence, improvement, and good governance across the team.

Knowing you’re right for us

Joining us as a Governance Analyst, the minimum criteria you’ll need is strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to set out evidence and findings clearly, a methodical and well-organised approach with close attention to detail, the ability to drive activities and actions through to completion across people who don’t report to you, and a willingness to use AI tooling such as Claude to work more efficiently. It would be great if you had some of the following skills, but don’t worry if you don’t tick every box, we’ll help you develop along the way.

Experience in a governance, risk, audit, compliance, or quality role, ideally within IT or a regulated environment

Working knowledge of management system standards such as ISO 20000 or ISO 27001, and of ITIL practices

Experience preparing for or responding to internal or external audits, including assembling evidence

Experience maintaining documentation, knowledge bases, or similar repositories, and a comfort with using AI tools to support day-to-day work

Knowing we’re right for you

Embracing uniqueness, the culture at Grant Thornton thrives on the contributions of all our people, we never settle for what is easy, we look beyond to deliver the right thing, for everyone. Building an inclusive culture, where we value difference and respect our colleagues helps our people to perform at the best of their ability and realise their potential.

Our open and accessible culture means you’ll interact with leaders who are interested in you and everything you bring to our firm. The things that set you apart, we value them. That’s why we give you the freedom to bring your whole self to work and pursue your passions inside and outside of work.

We’re also committed to supporting you through different life stages, with a range of family friendly and wider leave policies. You can find full details of our reward, benefits and leave policies on our website: Reward and benefits.

Beyond the job

Life is more than work. The things you do, and the people you’re with outside of work matter, that’s why we’re happy to look at flexible working options for all our roles, and we’ll always do our best to keep your work and life in balance.

The impact you can make here will go far beyond your day job. From secondments, to fundraising for local charities, or investing in entrepreneurs in the developing world, you’ll be giving back to society. It’s that drive to do the right thing that runs through our every move, grounded in our firm’s values – purposefully driven, actively curious and candid but kind.

We’re looking for people who want to contribute, spark fresh ideas and go beyond expectations. People who want to be able to proudly do what’s right, for the firm, our clients, our people and themselves. It’s how it should be.
