  • Translate complex technology and control issues into clear, actionable business recommendations.
  • Collaborate with IT, Finance, Operations, and other cross-functional stakeholders to improve processes while minimizing disruption to the business.
  • Lead and develop audit team members, including reviewing workpapers, providing feedback, and identifying opportunities for professional development.
  • Enhance IT audit methodologies, frameworks, and processes to support a scalable and sustainable assurance function.
  • Support special projects, system implementations, process assessments, and other organizational initiatives as needed.
  • Monitor emerging technology and cybersecurity risks and assess their potential impact on the organization.
  • Promote continuous improvement across IT governance, risk management, compliance, and internal controls.

  • Demonstrated ability to lead audit projects and manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to identify trends, anomalies, and emerging risks.
  • Ability to communicate complex IT and risk matters effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Strong curiosity and interest in cybersecurity, technology trends, and emerging IT risks.
  • Strategic thinker who is equally comfortable rolling up their sleeves and executing the work.
  • Strong project management and organizational skills.
  • High integrity, sound judgment, and ability to operate independently.
  • Proactive, solutions-oriented mindset with the ability to influence stakeholders without direct authority.
  • Comfortable working in an evolving, decentralized organization with a high degree of ambiguity.
  • Strong relationship-building and cross-functional collaboration skills.
