Full Job Description

We are seeking an Cybersecurity Audit Manager to lead risk‑based internal audit engagements focused on technology and cybersecurity. This role is ideal for an experienced technology auditor who is inherently curious, comfortable operating independently, and motivated to dig deeply into complex environments to understand how risk truly manifests.

In this role, you will own audits from planning through reporting, applying sound judgment to assess risk, challenge assumptions, and deliver clear, actionable insights. You will work closely with technology, security, and engineering stakeholders, and play a key role in advancing a modern, technology‑enabled Internal Audit function that serves as a trusted risk partner to the business.

Primary Responsibilities:

  • Own the end‑to‑end execution of assigned technology and cybersecurity audit engagements, from detailed planning through fieldwork, reporting, and issue follow‑up

    • Network and application security

    • Logging, monitoring, and incident response

    • Secure software development lifecycle (SDLC)

  • Apply professional skepticism and technical judgment to move beyond standard audit procedures, identifying root causes, control gaps, and emerging or non‑obvious risks

  • Conduct deep‑dive interviews and walkthroughs with engineering, security, and platform teams to understand how systems operate in practice and where risk trade‑offs exist

  • Clearly articulate audit observations, including risk implications and practical, prioritized recommendations that support both security and business objectives

  • Prepare high‑quality audit reports that synthesize detailed findings into clear, relevant insights for technical and non‑technical audiences

  • Partner with Technology and Cybersecurity leadership during audit execution to validate understanding, discuss risk exposure, and support effective remediation planning

  • Provide guidance, coaching, and review support to junior auditors, ensuring work quality, accuracy, and adherence to Internal Audit standards

  • Stay current on emerging technology trends, cybersecurity threats, and evolving risk landscapes to continuously enhance audit coverage

  • Contribute to the evolution and continuous improvement of Internal Audit methodologies, tools, and ways of working

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:

  • Strong understanding of technology and cybersecurity risk domains, including cloud‑based architectures and modern application environments

  • Ability to independently execute complex audits within a defined scope while exercising sound professional judgment

  • Demonstrated analytical skills with the ability to connect technical control gaps to broader business, customer, and operational impact

  • Intellectual curiosity and willingness to challenge assumptions, ask difficult questions, and explore areas of uncertainty

  • Ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, actionable insights for varied audiences

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, particularly in drafting concise, high‑quality audit reports

  • Ability to build trusted relationships with stakeholders while maintaining independence and objectivity

  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage priorities, deadlines, and competing demands

  • High level of integrity, professionalism, and accountability

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Engineering, Business, Accounting, or a related field

  • 8+ years of experience in IT audit, technology risk, cybersecurity, or related disciplines within a public accounting firm, public company, or technology‑focused organization (6+ with relevant Master’s degree)

  • Experience leading or owning technology audit engagements, including cybersecurity, cloud, infrastructure, or system implementations

  • Professional certifications preferred: CISA, CISSP

  • Other relevant certifications considered: CIA, CPA, CISM, CCSP, CRISC
