Internal Auditor (Operational And Risk)

Job Description

Job Description

We are seeking a Internal Auditor who can step into an active internal audit environment with minimal ramp-up. This role requires a self-sufficient, experienced auditor who can independently execute audits end-to-end, apply sound judgment, and deliver high-quality work with limited oversight.

This is not a task-level support role—the ideal candidate is comfortable owning audit execution and operating with minimal dependency on audit leads and managers.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as an experienced auditor supporting an internal audit function
• Perform risk-based operational internal audits (non-SOX, non-compliance focused)
• Execute assigned testing, including controls evaluation and documentation within audit systems (e.g., TeamMate+, AuditBoard)
• Proactively coordinate and conduct client meetings and process walkthroughs
• Quickly understand audit scope and objectives by reviewing audit plans, prior workpapers, and templates
• Independently perform audit procedures, including:
  • Process walkthroughs
  • Control design and operating effectiveness testing
  • Substantive testing (as applicable)
• Identify risks, control gaps, and potential fraud indicators; determine when escalation or expanded testing is needed
• Develop review-ready workpapers with clear documentation of procedures, evidence, and conclusions (minimal rework expected)
• Communicate effectively with:
  • Business and process owners during audit activities
  • Audit leadership regarding status updates, risks, and findings
• Operate within established tools, timelines, and methodologies with minimal direction
• Take ownership of deliverables and consistently meet deadlines

Required Skills

• Internal Audit
• Risk Assessment
• Internal Controls
• Audit Execution

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with audit management tools (e.g., TeamMate+, AuditBoard)
• CPA (not required; role is not financially focused)
• Additional certifications such as CIA or CFE (Certified Fraud Examiner) are a plus
• Experience with fraud investigation or risk-focused audits

Experience Level

• Mid-level to Sr level (hands-on independent auditor)
