Senior Internal Auditor

About This Team and Role

Our Internal Audit team plans and executes audit projects according to audit plan and risk assessments by evaluating efficiency and effectiveness of current-state financial, compliance, and operational processes and controls. We advise business functions in addressing risks, control deficiencies, developing recommendations, and tracking and reporting on the progress of the process and compliance improvements. In addition to performing internal audits, a senior internal auditor often plays a key role in ensuring compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX). This involves evaluating the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting, documenting processes and reporting any deficiencies to management and external auditors.

The Sr. Internal Auditor role requires a strong understanding of business and financial processes and controls. The ideal candidate should have a sound knowledge of the audit process including SOX compliance, possess good analytical skills, and be able to work independently within a team.
