Senior Internal Auditor

Senior Internal Auditor | Global Risk & Advisory Opportunity

Our client is seeking a Senior Internal Auditor to join a high-performing, globally connected internal audit function. This is a highly visible role where you will lead audits end-to-end, work closely with senior management, and play a key role in strengthening governance, risk management, and internal controls across a diverse set of business operations.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to move beyond compliance-focused auditing and gain exposure to deeper operational and business-level risk work in a dynamic, global environment.

• Hybrid schedule offering flexibility with strong team collaboration in-office
• Work as part of a global internal audit hub supporting multiple North American entities
• High exposure to senior leadership and business decision-makers
• Opportunity to lead audits from planning through final reporting
• Strong emphasis on operational auditing, not just SOX compliance testing
• Collaborative culture with strong leadership support and mentoring
• Opportunity to coach and develop junior team members
• Long-term growth potential within a globally respected organization

In this role, you will take ownership of audit engagements and serve as a trusted advisor to the business by identifying risks, evaluating controls, and delivering meaningful insights that improve operations.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading and executing end-to-end internal audit engagements across multiple business areas
• Evaluating operational processes, risk management practices, and internal control environments
• Conducting risk assessments, audit planning, and scoping activities
• Performing detailed testing, control evaluation, and audit analysis
• Preparing clear, impactful audit reports and presenting findings to management
• Partnering with business leaders to communicate control gaps and recommend improvements
• Using data analytics to enhance audit effectiveness and insights
• Supporting continuous improvement initiatives within the audit function
• Coaching and mentoring less experienced auditors on engagement teams

• 5+ years of audit or relevant business experience
• Strong understanding of internal audit methodologies and operational risk
• Experience in financial services or insurance strongly preferred (public accounting exposure also valued)
• Background in evaluating business processes beyond just compliance testing
• Strong communication skills with the ability to influence and engage stakeholders
• Experience using data analytics tools is a plus
• CIA or CPA preferred, but not required

• Enjoys understanding how a business operates beyond the numbers
• Wants exposure to senior leadership and strategic decision-making
• Thrives in a collaborative, global environment
• Is comfortable leading audits and guiding junior team members
• Wants to build a long-term career in internal audit, risk, or advisory
• Enjoys combining technical audit work with business partnership

This is more than a traditional audit role—you’ll gain exposure to complex insurance and operational processes, work closely with experienced leaders across multiple regions, and play a key role in strengthening internal controls across a global organization.
