Senior Internal Auditor - Operational Audit

Job Description

Tired of spending most of your year on SOX testing instead of actually auditing the business?

\n

\n

This role gives you real operational audit exposure, not another seat dominated by controls testing. You'll work across the Americas, including the U.S., Canada and Latin America, with direct exposure to how the business actually runs.

\n

\n

You don't need to have spent your whole career buried in SOX. You do need to be ready to think beyond a testing checklist, evaluate how the business operates, and bring practical recommendations to management.

\n

\n

Can be located in Chicago, IL or Orlando, FL. Up to $100K plus bonus. Less than 10% travel, domestic and international.

\n

\n

From day one, you'll be working with:

\n

\n

Operational, financial and compliance audits across the Americas

\n

Risk assessment, audit planning and scoping

\n

Fieldwork and direct engagement with business stakeholders

\n

Control gap identification and process improvement recommendations

\n

Audit findings and report drafting

\n

Remediation tracking through completion

\n

\n

Why this role stands out:

\n

\n

Roughly 90% of SOX testing here is outsourced, so you're doing real operational audit work, not compliance testing

\n

The organization is highly acquisitive, so the businesses you audit and the risks you assess are constantly evolving

\n

Audit results get visibility from Executive Management and the Audit Committee

\n

The audit function is rolling out Agile audit methodology, giving you a hand in shaping how the team works, not inheriting a fixed process

\n

\n

Ideal background:

\n

\n

3+ years of public accounting, internal audit or directly relevant audit experience

\n

Strong operational audit and/or risk assessment experience

\n

Ability to think critically, not just execute a testing program

\n

Strong project management and organizational skills

\n

Confidence communicating with stakeholders at multiple levels

\n

Strong written communication and report-writing ability

\n

CPA or CIA a plus, not required

\n

\n

If you're ready to move past repetitive controls testing and build real operational audit depth at a large, decentralized, highly acquisitive organization, this is worth a conversation.
