  • Perform non-SOX operational and compliance audits across key IT areas, including IT governance, cybersecurity, cloud configuration, corporate systems, operational systems, system development, third-party program management, and disaster recovery.
  • Guide and review the work of staff by providing real-time coaching, workpaper feedback, and quality assurance throughout each engagement.
  • Support the annual risk assessment and audit planning process by contributing process-level insights and engagement scoping recommendations.
  • Build effective working relationships with process owners and mid-level stakeholders, communicating audit status, findings, and recommendations with clarity and professionalism.
  • Draft clear, well-supported audit findings and management reports that translate control issues into actionable business recommendations.
  • Monitor open audit findings and follow up with process owners to support timely and sustainable remediation.
  • Contribute to the continuous improvement of audit methodologies, workpaper templates, and departmental processes.
  • Actively develop junior team members through mentorship, on-the-job coaching, and timely feedback.
  • Design and implement automated audit procedures using available tools, including AI solutions.

  • Solid working knowledge of SOX ITGC, ITAC, and IPE requirements, as well as risk-based audit methodologies.
  • Proven ability to manage IT audit engagements independently from planning through reporting, with minimal oversight.
  • Strong workpaper documentation skills, with close attention to detail, accuracy, and audit quality.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to write findings that business stakeholders can understand and act on.
  • Collaborative team player who can lead and develop junior staff.
