• Experience with tools such as Alteryx, Power BI, Power Automate or similar.
• An understanding of risk management, internal controls and audit methodologies.
• Exposure to SAP or other complex ERP systems would be advantageous.
• Strong stakeholder engagement skills and the confidence to challenge existing processes.
• A curious, proactive mindset and a willingness to learn new technologies.
• Experience with AI, GRC platforms or IT auditing would be highly regarded.

• A genuinely advanced audit function: Join a team at the forefront of analytics, automation and technology-enabled auditing in Australia.
