Job description

Riyadh Air (RX), headquartered in the Saudi Capital, is the new national airline that’s shaping the future of flying. It seeks to lead the aviation industry by transforming Saudi Arabia into a global aviation and trade hub – a digitally native airline that will connect the kingdom to more than 100 destinations.

About The Role

Are you an auditor professional who is looking for an opportunity to safeguard our corporate and commercial business processes? In this dynamic role, you will execute comprehensive audit engagements across our operational, commercial, financial, and compliance areas, evaluating the effectiveness of internal controls and ensuring organisational compliance with relevant regulations, policies, and procedures.

Collaborative by nature, yours is a role which lead process understanding sessions with process owners and conduct risk assessments with documented preliminary findings in accordance with Internal Audit policies and procedures.

By providing insightful and pragmatic advice, you will be an enabler of positive change which directly and demonstrably improves the control environment, enhances performance, mitigates risks, and ensures sound systems of governance.

A key aspect of this role is your ability to actively participate in the Internal Audit’s annual risk assessment process and contribute to the development of a risk-based annual audit plan.

Ready to take your career to new heights? This is your opportunity to spread your wings with us and join our team to help steer our organisation toward excellence.

About You

Degree qualified, you will demonstrate a minimum of 5 years of experience in internal or external audit. Professional certifications such as a Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) or an accountancy qualification (CPA, SOCPA, ACCA) are preferred.

You are expected to possess demonstrated success in executing complex audit engagements, with a preference for experience in the aviation industry (or a related sector) or within a Big Four audit firm.

We’d love to hear from you even more if you have strong knowledge of auditing standards, risk assessment methodologies, and internal control frameworks. You communicate clearly with senior stakeholders, manage multiple priorities, uphold objectivity and confidentiality, and use audit tools and analytics to enhance assurance.

This is your opportunity to shape the future of air travel. Bring your best and show us why you can own this position within Riyadh Air.
