About the role

This role offers the chance to apply technical expertise, risk assessment, and data analytics skills while gaining exposure to a broad range of innovative businesses and technologies.

Responsibilities

  • Lead operational and technical audits across diverse businesses, providing independent insights that help strengthen controls, improve processes, and support sound decision-making.
  • Evaluate risks across operations, compliance, policy, and technology, and translate those risks into practical, business-focused recommendations.
  • Own the audit roadmap for your sub-portfolio: Conduct continuous risk assessments across your business areas, identify the highest-impact audit topics, and influence the team's annual audit plan.
  • Manage and develop auditors: Direct the work of audit teams, including Senior IT Auditors and IT Auditors. Coach team members, set the bar for quality, and grow the next generation of audit leaders.
  • Understand the business behind the systems: Develop and maintain a clear view of how products and platforms operate, generate value, and scale — and where failures would have the greatest impact on customers, revenue, regulatory standing, or operations.
  • Assess risk in context: Evaluate areas such as access management, data security, system reliability, software development practices, and emerging-technology controls — focusing on what truly matters to the business rather than applying controls mechanically.
  • Use data to inform conclusions: Apply analytical thinking and direct (or oversee) data analysis to identify trends, validate controls, and support risk assessments at scale.
  • Translate technical and business issues into business impact: Clearly articulate how risks affect customers, revenue, regulatory exposure, or operational performance — for audiences ranging from engineers to the Audit Committee.
  • Influence and partner with senior stakeholders: Build standing relationships with VPs, Directors, and senior engineering leaders. Drive alignment on risks and on practical, scalable solutions, including where stakeholders push back.
  • Drive meaningful outcomes: Ensure audit findings lead to real improvements, not just reports. Hold a high bar for closure and validate that risks have been mitigated.
  • Contribute to audit methodology, team operating mechanisms, and the development of audit standards across DMAAC and broader Internal Audit.

Requirements

  • Knowledge of Microsoft Office products and applications (esp. MS Excel, Word) at an advanced level.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Economics, Engineering, Information Management, Information Systems, or other related discipline.
  • 8+ years of experience in roles involving technology and commercial/financial acumen, finance/tech business partnering, IT audit, risk management, information security, business or tech consulting or related fields.

Preferred Qualifications

  • 10+ years of experience in IT audit, risk management, information security, technology consulting, or related fields.
  • Master's degree across Engineering and Financial/Economics disciplines.
  • Familiarity with modern technology environments (Cloud, distributed systems, data platforms).
  • Experience with AI/ML systems, including generative AI tools and platforms.
  • Experience using data and analytics to drive business decisions and business outcomes.
  • Experience in consulting, Big 4, or large technology companies.
  • Relevant certifications (e.g., CISA, CIA, CPA, CISSP), Understanding of control frameworks (e.g., COSO, COBIT, ISO, NIST), with a pragmatic approach to applying them.
