About the job

As a Senior Internal Auditor, you will play a pivotal role in maintaining and elevating our internal control environment and drive key pillars of our global SOX compliance program.

Responsibilities

In this role, you'll:

• End-to-End SOX Planning and Execution: Drive end-to-end SOX compliance activities-from initial scoping, materiality analysis, and risk-based audit planning to walkthrough execution and operating effectiveness testing across core SOX processes.
• Deficiency Assessments: Document control gaps, evaluate quantitative/qualitative impacts, partner with process owners on remediation and monitor remediation progress.
• Quality Standards: Apply quality control standards to all audit documentation
• External Audit Liaison : Serve as the primary liaison to external auditors to coordinate reliance, reduce redundant testing, and streamline the annual audit process.
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Partner with business teams to identify control gaps, optimize workflows, and build scalable processes aligned with industry best practices.
• Operational Audits: Support in the end-to-end execution of operational and compliance audits from risk identification, scoping, fieldwork execution, and reporting. Document process flows and testing workpapers with limited supervision.
• Audit Innovation: Drive the adoption of AI and automation tools to streamline audit workflows, boost efficiency, and deliver actionable business insight
