• Apply established risk frameworks (e. g. , NIST Risk Management Framework) to identify control gaps, assess residual risk, and evaluate mitigation strategies.
• Assess whether security and technology controls adequately safeguard data, including customer, confidential, and personal information.
• Prepare concise, high‑quality audit reports that clearly articulate observations, root causes, risk implications, and recommendations.
• Act as a trusted advisor by providing insights on control design, process improvements, and emerging technology risks.
• Demonstrate strong communication and influencing skills when presenting findings, facilitating discussions, and driving alignment on remediation.

Who You’ll Work With

You will partner with technology, security, and business teams to:

• Establish clear risk ownership and accountability
• Develop realistic and prioritized management action plans

What Makes You a Qualified Candidate

• Working knowledge of IT risk and control frameworks (e. g. , NIST RMF, NIST CSF, CIS Critical Security Controls).
• Strong understanding of cloud computing architectures and related security and governance controls.
• Knowledge of internal audit standards and practices (Institute of Internal Auditors).
• Experience performing risk assessments, audit planning, control testing, and issue validation.
• Familiarity with global data protection and privacy regulations (e. g. , GDPR, CCPA).
• General understanding of enterprise technologies, including operating systems, databases, networks, and applications.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with stakeholders across geographies and disciplines.
• Fluency in English (reading, writing, and speaking).
• Willingness and ability to travel up to 10% annually, including internationally.
• Strong interpersonal presence with the ability to build credibility and effective working relationships across technical and non‑technical teams.
