• Collaborate with the Audit Analytics team to integrate data-driven testing into IT audit engagements, improving coverage, efficiency, and insight.

• Prepare clear, well-evidenced audit reports and communicate findings, root causes, and recommendations to senior IT and business leadership.

• Provide advisory input on IT projects, system implementations, and transformation initiatives to ensure control considerations are addressed early in the lifecycle.

• Monitor the remediation of audit findings, validating that management action plans are implemented effectively and closed on a timely basis, with sustained control improvements.

• Contribute to the continuous improvement of the IT audit methodology, tools, and use of automation and AI-powered techniques to enhance the audit function.

• Understanding software development lifecycle, change management, or DevOps practices will be considered a strong advantage.

• Comfort working with data analytics and AI-powered tools to enhance audit testing, with a willingness to adopt and explore emerging techniques.

• Strong analytical, communication, and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to translate technical findings into clear business impact.
