Brief Job Description:

The Senior Managing Auditor performs highly advanced and managerial auditing work overseeing complex audits for the Health and Human Services (HHS) system as a part of the Office of Inspector General (OIG) Audit and Inspections Division (OIG Audit). OIG is responsible for preventing, detecting, auditing, inspecting, reviewing, and investigating fraud, waste, and abuse in the provision of Medicaid and other HHS programs. Work is conducted in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards and OIG Audit policies and procedures.

The Senior Managing Auditor is responsible for overseeing multiple audit teams simultaneously, ensuring high-quality execution, adherence to professional standards, and alignment with organizational goals. This role provides strategic direction, technical guidance, and performance oversight to Audit Project Managers and audit teams throughout all phases of the audit lifecycle. The Senior Managing Auditor is responsible for providing day-to-day oversight and direction to their assigned Audit Project Managers under the supervision of one or more Audit Directors. The Senior Managing Auditor is responsible for providing in-depth progress reports to the Audit Director for ongoing audits. In addition to oversight of project management, the Senior Managing Auditor represents the OIG Audit and Inspections Division at meetings, interacts with internal and external stakeholders, and participates in work groups.

This position contributes expertise in professional auditing standards and other areas requiring extensive experience in auditing and auditing techniques; and contributes to the coaching and development of staff.
