We’re Aldermore – the award-winning bank, trusted and highly rated by over a quarter of a million customers for more than a decade. With our range of specialist mortgages, savings accounts and business finance solutions, we’re backing more people to go for it.

We thrive by saying “yes” to our customers. We respect the ingenuity of entrepreneurs and their startups; we give first-timers a leg-up onto the property ladder; we open up the lending market to many; and thousands of customers choose MotoNovo Finance every week to buy their next car, van or motorbike.

This is where you come in. We are on a journey. A journey defined by a destination: to deliver on our purpose.

Let us tell you a bit about the opportunity

We’re looking for a proactive and self‑motivated External Auditor to join our Motor Finance team. This is a field‑based role covering the South East, where you’ll take ownership of your own dealer portfolio, schedule and complete onsite audits, and play a key role in protecting MotoNovo’s financial security.

This is an exciting opportunity if you enjoy autonomy, variety, and work that genuinely influences risk decisions and business performance. You’ll use your analytical thinking, relationship‑building skills and sector knowledge to identify risks, provide clear insights, and work closely with dealers and internal teams to strengthen controls and improve performance.

If you’re looking for a role where you can build deep product expertise, work with a broad stakeholder network, and make a real impact on credit risk and operational resilience, this could be the opportunity for you.

What will your day look like?

  • Managing your own allocated portfolio of dealer accounts across the South East.
  • Planning and carrying out onsite audits to ensure funding facilities remain secure and compliant with policy.
  • Assessing risk indicators, identifying concerns early and escalating where appropriate.
  • Acting as a subject matter expert for the Dealer Funding product, using industry insight to support its improvement and long‑term development.
  • Providing clear, accurate and constructive feedback to dealers and internal teams, ensuring risk is correctly evaluated and well understood.
  • Building strong working relationships with dealer partners, field teams and head office colleagues to support smooth audit delivery.
  • Producing high‑quality insights on portfolio performance, risk concentration and emerging trends.
  • Promoting a culture of risk awareness and collaborative working across Dealer Funding, Sales and 2LOD Risk.
  • Planning your own workload, travel and overnights effectively, ensuring risk‑based scheduling and good forecasting.

What do we expect from you?

  • Understanding of the Motor Dealer Funding sector.
  • Experience in audit, stock control or credit control.
  • Ability to build and maintain strong working relationships with dealers and internal stakeholders.
  • Clear and confident written and verbal communication skills.
  • Experience delivering operational controls and accurately interpreting risk indicators.
  • A full UK driving licence.
  • Please note: In line with our driving policy, we can only progress applications from candidates with a maximum of 6 driving licence points

General competencies

  • Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills.
  • Confidence making decisions and simplifying complex issues.
  • Ability to work collaboratively and build trusted relationships.
  • High levels of integrity, professionalism and reliability.
  • Motivation, curiosity and a proactive approach to continuous improvement.

What can you expect from us?

  • A friendly and flexible culture, the same as how we work with our customers
  • A growing organisation that means there’s lots of opportunities to progress
  • A drive for continuous improvement, which you will be empowered to get behind from day one
  • And of course, you will be rewarded competitively, with a good range of core benefits and bonus potential
