About Our Client

Our client is an global company active in a wide range of commercial ventures across the Americas — including infrastructure investment, transportation and logistics, natural resource development, steel and materials distribution, and real estate. It is the largest Americas subsidiary of a major global company, with operations spanning eighteen industry-focused segments including Automotive, Aerospace Defense & Technology, Social Infrastructure, and Energy.

Our client offers a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, life insurance, an Employee Assistance Program, 401(k), and additional employee benefits.

About the Role

The Senior Internal Auditor will play a hands-on role evaluating and improving the effectiveness of internal controls, risk management, and governance processes across the organization and its subsidiaries and affiliates throughout the Americas. Working under the direction of an audit team lead, you'll help plan and scope audits, conduct fieldwork, and develop clear, practical recommendations across a genuinely diverse range of businesses.

This is an individual contributor role, ideal for an auditor who wants to broaden their exposure across industries and business functions rather than specialize narrowly in one sector.

What You'll Do

• Perform audit processes and procedures in accordance with the Internal Audit Department's methodology, under the guidance of the audit team lead and senior team members
• Participate in scoping, risk assessment, and planning of internal audit activity, including pre-fieldwork review of documents and data
• Conduct audits across both familiar and new subject areas, with support and direction as needed
• Lead interviews, meetings, and walkthroughs with process owners to understand key processes and controls
• Perform fact-finding and causal analysis, reach conclusions, and develop practical recommendations in collaboration with the audit team
• Present findings clearly, both orally and in writing, to process owners and stakeholders
• Document key controls and audit results in audit reports and work papers
• Follow up on prior audit findings to evaluate remediation progress
• Build strong, collaborative working relationships across the organization's businesses
• Work both independently and collaboratively across the organization

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or another business or analytical discipline
• 2–4 years of auditing experience — internal, external, or a combination of both
• Operational or financial audit experience (this role is not focused on IT audit specifically)
• Strong analytical and communication skills, both written and oral
• Ability to build and maintain effective working relationships across a large, complex organization
• Strong organizational skills, with the ability to plan and execute against clear timelines
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office

What Sets Strong Candidates Apart

• A combination of audit experience (internal and/or external) AND operational or business experience (i.e. combination of public and industry side experience)
• Exposure to multiple industries, business processes, and operational environments
• Experience working within commercial, corporate, or operational organizations
• Actively pursuing or holding a professional designation (CPA, CISA, CIA, or similar)
• Hybrid schedule: minimum 2 days/week onsite in the New York office
• Approximately 20% travel, including to international locations such as Central and South America
• Please note: this position does not offer visa sponsorship

Our client is committed to equal employment opportunity and providing a work environment free of discrimination and harassment for all employees.
