Senior Auditor

Job Description

Stanford's Office of the Chief Risk Officer (OCRO) enables the university to take smart risks in pursuit of its world-changing missions. Internal Audit (IA), a functional unit within OCRO, delivers independent, risk-based assurance and advisory services that enhance Stanford's operations and risk management. IA team members gain a broad enterprise perspective, support a wide variety of activities, engage/serve on various committees internal to Stanford, as well as peer groups with other universities and strive to make meaningful contributions daily.

As a Senior Auditor, you will perform complex financial, operational, and compliance audits to assess the adequacy and effectiveness of systems, processes, and controls. Projects will vary, giving you opportunities to focus on enterprise risks through objective, independent assessments of governance, risk management, and control processes; you will evaluate risks in complex areas and may lead investigations of suspected irregular financial conduct. You will mentor less experienced colleagues and regularly partner with staff, faculty, researchers, and units such as the Office of General Counsel and executive offices in the Stanford health system entities.

If you thrive in a dynamic, collaborative environment and want to help Stanford continue to take smart risks, apply today.
