What will I be doing? • Own and execute the IT audit plan (SOX and non‑SOX) covering IT general controls, IT application controls, cybersecurity, cloud, data, and key business‑critical systems (including SAP). • Lead end‑to‑end IT audits over: • Cloud environments (primarily AWS) and related security / governance. • Information security (identity and access management, vulnerability management, monitoring, incident response). • Infrastructure and operations (backups, jobs, capacity, resilience). • Systems development and change management (including Git‑based workflows and CI/CD practices). • Key business applications and integrations supporting financial, payments and core operations, including SAP. • Drive the SOX ITGC and ITAC program in coordination with the broader Internal Audit and other teams, including design and operating effectiveness testing and evaluation of deficiencies. • Use advanced data and AI‑enabled tools to enhance audit coverage (e.g., automated sampling and testing, continuous monitoring, anomaly detection), and assess how AI and automation are designed, implemented and controlled within IT and business processes. • Identify, assess and prioritize technology risks using a structured, risk‑based methodology. • Produce clear, well‑structured audit reports and presentations for senior management and the Audit Committee, highlighting key risks, root causes and pragmatic, risk‑based remediation actions. • Monitor and challenge remediation of IT control deficiencies, ensuring that agreed action plans are realistic, timely and sustainable. • Act as a key counterpart for External Auditors on IT/SOX topics (scoping, walkthroughs, test results, issues and remediation status). • Build strong, trust‑based relationships with senior stakeholders across the company, positioning Internal Audit as an independent yet collaborative partner. • Lead and develop a high‑performing IT audit team: set expectations, coach and mentor, provide feedback, and promote a culture of learning, collaboration and innovation. • Contribute to the continuous improvement of our IT audit methodology, including the use of automation, data analytics and AI, and alignment with leading practices and frameworks.
