Senior Internal Auditor

The Senior Internal Auditor role is designed for professionals ready to take ownership of audit work, apply professional judgment, and influence risk discussions across the organization. Seniors play a key role in executing audits, mentoring junior staff, and partnering with management. This position is well-suited for auditors who want exposure to complex banking risks, increased visibility with senior leaders, and opportunities to grow into leadership roles — particularly those passionate about leveraging data, AI, and software solutions to modernize audit practices.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead operational audits from planning through reporting, with a focus on technology-driven risk areas
  • Perform risk assessments and identify key controls and testing strategies, utilizing data modeling and analytics to enhance risk coverage
  • Review Staff Auditor work and provide coaching and feedback
  • Evaluate control effectiveness across business processes using AI-assisted testing and data analysis techniques
  • Draft concise, impactful audit observations and reports for management
  • Support regulatory examinations and Audit Committee materials
  • Partner with business stakeholders to discuss risks, root causes, and remediation
  • Lead the application of data analytics, AI-enabled tools, and audit software to improve audit coverage and insight
  • Champion the adoption of emerging audit technologies and contribute to methodology innovation

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Information Systems, or a related field; degrees in Computer Science, Data Science, or related technology fields also welcomed
  • 3–6+ years of experience in internal audit, public accounting, risk, or controls
  • Demonstrated experience applying data analytics, software tools, or automation in an audit or risk context
  • Strong understanding of audit methodology and risk-based auditing
  • Ability to independently assess risks and challenge management constructively
  • Strong written communication skills for audit documentation and reporting
  • Proficiency in data analysis tools; demonstrated ability to apply or scale AI-enabled audit technologies
  • Comfort with interpreting data models, statistical outputs, or automated testing results
  • Active pursuit of CPA, CIA, CISA, or technology-focused certifications preferred

Axos Employee Benefits May Include:

  • Medical, Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance
  • Paid Sick Leave, 3 weeks' Vacation, and Holidays (about 11 a year)
  • HSA or FSA account and other voluntary benefits
  • 401(k) Retirement Saving Plan with Employer Match Program and 529 Savings Plan
  • Employee Mortgage Loan Program and free access to an Axos Bank Account with Self-Directed Trading
