Job description

This role is best suited for a Project/Program Manager with audit management experience, not a career auditor. The ideal candidate has successfully led audit engagements, managed cross-functional stakeholders, coordinated audit deliverables, and driven remediation efforts while demonstrating exceptional relationship-building, communication, and leadership skills.

The individual will partner across infrastructure, security, application development, operations, and business teams to ensure required documentation and audit evidence are delivered accurately and on time. They will lead status meetings, manage action plans, track corrective actions, and communicate progress to leadership.

This position is not a technical role, but does need the following:

• Project and Program Management methodologies
• IT Audit Management and Regulatory Compliance processes
• Microsoft Office Suite (particularly Excel, PowerPoint, and reporting tools)

The role requires knowledge of IT controls, audit processes, compliance frameworks, and strong project management execution skills.

REQUIRED:

• Experience leading external or internal IT audits either as the facilitator of the audit or responding to an audit. Not looking for an auditor that has conducted audits.
• Familiarity with cybersecurity, infrastructure, application development, and operational controls.
• Experience coordinating multiple concurrent audits.

NICE TO HAVE:

• Insurance industry experience
• Experience managing audit remediation programs
• Experience working with executive leadership and auditors
• Governance, Risk and Compliance frameworks such as: NIST, COBIT, ITIL, Information Security controls and governance models

This team serves as the bridge between auditors and Information Services organizations. They partner with technical and business teams across the enterprise to coordinate audit activities, ensure delivery of audit evidence, manage remediation efforts, and drive successful audit outcomes.
