  • Proactively develop an effective relationship with all stakeholders and maintain open communication with management regarding the annual internal audit plan.
  • Perform gap analysis and risk assessments in all divisions to ensure company assets are protected and aligned with regulatory requirements.
  • Work cross-functionally to develop, implement, test and maintain appropriate internal controls and conduct internal training and awareness sessions as needed.
  • Develop project schedules and milestones based on business objectives and defined scope.
  • Ensure finance teams have adequate written standard operating procedures (SOP) and sufficient internal controls.
  • Support the Claims Compliance team by offering guidance around the overall process and periodically processing expense claims.
  • Partner with the Claims Compliance team, to develop a fair and equitable methodology to calculate annual budgets for Lions leadership.
  • Consult with Technology team and act as the process owner for the Finance division in defining business requirements and ensuring the technology solution meets the business needs.
We’re Looking for Someone With :
  • Bachelor’s degree (B.A. or B.S.) from four-year college or university or equivalent combination of education and experience. 
  • High school diploma or equivalent required.
  • Minimum of 5 years experience in audit, internal controls assessments, or related work required.
  • Strong relationship-building skills, with prior experience in cross-functional collaboration.
  • Excellent analytical and organizational skills.
  • Prior experience with risk management/developing risk assessments a strong plus. 
  • Knowledge of SAP or similar expense reporting system a plus.
Compensation: Exempt: $78,000-88,000

Why You’ll Love Working Here :

and have programs and benefit plans to support our employees, such as:
  • Three weeks paid time off
  • Flexible and hybrid work schedules (3 days per week in office).
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans
  • Flex spending accounts for medical and dependent care
  • 401K with employer match
  • Reimbursable training
  • Casual dress

identity, or lived experience – feel welcomed, respected and empowered to serve. Our strength
comes from the diversity of our members and staff, and the inclusive spirit that unites us in service.
