• You will leverage strong communication skills to deliver timely, concise, and meaningful updates to management—highlighting key issues and risks—and to prepare clear written materials such as memos, summaries, and recommendations.
• You will develop strong, trusted relationships with key stakeholders—both internal and external—including external auditors, co-source partners, control owners, and process owners.
• You will provide support to cross functional stakeholders on matters spanning SOX, operational audits, and IT audits—while driving innovation through a critical thinking and a solution-oriented mindset.
