• Support continuous improvement of audit methodologies and control environments.

Project & Resource Management

• Coordinate audit activities across multiple engagements simultaneously.
• Oversee third-party or outsourced audit resources when applicable.
• Ensure audit projects are completed on schedule and within established budgets.
• Mentor junior audit staff and provide guidance on audit standards and best practices.
• Participate in reviews of new technology implementations and major system changes.
• Evaluate implementation controls and project governance processes.
• Support audits related to emerging technologies, cybersecurity initiatives, and enterprise applications.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, MIS, Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• CISA or comparable IT audit certification.
• 5+ years of technology experience, including at least 4 years in internal or external IT auditing.
• Strong knowledge of:

• Prior experience managing external audit vendors or consulting resources.

What We're Looking For

• A critical thinker who can evaluate risk from both technical and business perspectives.
• A strong communicator capable of presenting complex findings to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Someone who approaches audits as an opportunity to improve the business rather than simply identify issues.
• A self-motivated professional who can balance multiple priorities while maintaining high-quality work.
• A collaborative partner who can build trusted relationships across departments.
