Job description

A globally recognized financial institution is hiring a Vice President within Internal Audit to lead Fixed Income Valuations coverage, one of the most technically demanding and high-visibility roles within its audit function.

This is a front-to-back opportunity. You won't be siloed into one narrow process. You'll engage directly with traders, quantitative analysts, model risk teams, and valuation functions across rates, credit, FX, securitized products, and commodities, developing a genuinely cross-functional view of valuation risk within a global markets business. The team is also actively building toward AI-enhanced, data-driven audit, using tools like enterprise-grade AI platforms, Alteryx, and advanced analytics to move beyond traditional testing approaches.

If you have deep fixed income product knowledge, whether from an audit, valuation control, or product control background, and you want a role where your technical expertise is genuinely valued and tested, this is worth a conversation.

What You'll Do

• Lead audit coverage of valuation risk across the Fixed Income business with a front-to-back view spanning front office, middle office, and back office functions
• Assess the effectiveness of IPV, valuation control, and related risk management processes
• Identify emerging risks and translate them into actionable insights for senior stakeholders
• Partner with global teams across audit, market risk, models, and P&L
• Use data and analytics to form and support risk-based conclusions
• Guide and mentor a direct report on technical valuations topics

What We're Looking For

• 6 or more years of experience in internal audit, valuation control, product control, or a related function
• Strong fixed income product knowledge is non-negotiable; derivatives experience in rates or FX is particularly valued
• Exposure to securitized or other complex cash products is a plus
• Comfort with P&L attribution, market risk sensitivities, and valuation methodology
• Ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly to non-technical audiences
• Familiarity with data and analytics tools and genuine curiosity about how AI and automation can improve audit coverage
• Relevant certifications such as CIA, CPA, or CFA are a plus but not required

Location:

New York, NY, 4 days per week in office

If you come from a valuations or product control background and have been thinking about a move into internal audit, this role is structured to accommodate that transition. The firm has a track record of developing strong technical practitioners into audit professionals.
