Ready to have a visible impact on how a global financial services company manages risk?

Role Responsibilities

Plan, perform, and occasionally lead assigned technology, cybersecurity, and integrated audits from scoping through reporting following Internal Audit methodology and applicable professional standards. Manage timelines and budgets to meet established deadlines.

Develop risk and control matrices (RCM), audit scope, objectives, and testing approach for audit leadership review and approval, consistent with Internal Audit methodology. Leverage approved AI tools throughout audit engagement execution, where appropriate, to support planning, risk assessment, control analysis, audit testing, documentation, and development of audit insights, while applying appropriate professional judgment and review.

Prepare clear, concise, review-ready workpapers and audit evidence that support findings and conclusions and meet Internal Audit methodology and quality standards. Maintain knowledge of relevant business, technology, cybersecurity, and operational developments, emerging risks, regulatory requirements, professional standards, and internal control practices. Analyze audit exceptions, assess risk and impact, and identify root causes. Clearly and timely communicate audit issues and validate factual accuracy with stakeholders. Develop clear, well-written audit report quality issue details, and work constructively with stakeholders to develop practical, sustainable action plans that address the root cause. Perform follow-up and validation testing to confirm that remediation actions have been implemented and are operating effectively. Build trusted, constructive relationships with stakeholders; providing timely status updates and escalated obstacles, significant risks, or emerging issues. Leverage AI and other audit analytics tools to analyze data, identify patterns, outliers, control failures, and opportunities to enhance audit coverage.

Basic Requirements
