What's the role?
Internal Audit's mission is to provide independent and objective assurance to add value and improve operations.

You will be supporting the internal audit lifecycle and other team initiatives. Our risk-based audit plan will also provide you the opportunity to develop audit programs for evolving risks and new audit areas. This will involve partnering with audit team members and cross-functional teams to evaluate areas of governance and risk, make valuable recommendations on controls, and influence change.

• Contribute ideas and feedback to enhance the internal audit methodology to increase overall efficiency and quality of internal audit delivery.
