Position Details:
The Opportunity:
Join our audit team in a dynamic role tailored to your experience level and employment classification. We’re hiring for an open-rank position that may be filled as either a Auditor 3 or an Auditor 4, depending on qualifications.
As an Auditor 3, you’ll work under the guidance of the Audit Manager and Chief Audit Executive to independently conduct full-scope professional audits. You’ll play a key role in promoting strong internal controls through clear, effective communication. While this role has limited formal supervisory duties, you may serve as auditor-in-charge on engagements, leading one or more auditors through the audit process.
As an Auditor 4, you’ll take on a senior-level role with broader responsibilities. Acting as the in-charge auditor, you’ll oversee the full lifecycle of audit engagements—from planning and administration to reporting and communicating results. You may also supervise interns and other auditors assigned to your projects.
Both roles may require occasional travel.
After completing an initial training period, the selected applicant may be eligible for hybrid remote work based on operational needs.
