- Apply data analytics and technology-enabled audit techniques to identify trends, anomalies, and opportunities for greater audit efficiency.
- Incorporate technology considerations-including IT general controls, cybersecurity, access, change management, data, and third-party risks-into business and operational audits.
- Stay current on emerging risks and developments, including AI, automation, data privacy, cybersecurity, third-party risk, and insurance industry trends.
- Use approved AI-enabled tools responsibly to support research, risk assessment, data analysis, planning, and documentation, applying sound professional judgment and validating important conclusions.
- Collaborate with the broader Internal Audit team and provide knowledge-sharing and informal guidance to colleagues.
- Coordinate with external auditors and other assurance providers as appropriate.
What You Bring
- Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, business, information systems, technology, or a related field.
- 3+ years of experience in internal audit, external audit, risk, controls, or public accounting.
- Experience independently leading risk-based audits through planning, testing, issue development, report writing, and issuance.
- Strong audit report-writing and communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain risks, root causes, business impact, and recommendations.
- Solid knowledge of internal audit practices, risk assessment, internal controls, and financial and operational risks.
- Working knowledge of technology risks and controls, including IT general controls. Specialized IT audit experience is not required.
- Strong analytical, critical-thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
- Ability to manage multiple priorities, work independently, and exercise sound judgment.
