Senior Internal Auditor

Are you an experienced auditor who wants ownership, visibility, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact at a locally focused community bank?

Hendricks County Bank and Trust Company is seeking a seasoned, practical, and collaborative Senior Internal Auditor to lead our internal audit and compliance audit function. This high-visibility role is primarily a banking operations and compliance audit role, not a dedicated IT audit position. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys working independently, building strong working relationships, and helping a community bank strengthen controls, improve processes, and remain compliant in a changing regulatory environment.

This role offers the right candidate the opportunity to own the audit function, work directly with executive leadership, report to the Board and Audit Committee, and make a meaningful impact across departments. The framework is in place, and we are looking for someone who can bring fresh perspective, sound judgment, and thoughtful recommendations that help move the Bank forward.

This role provides independent, objective assurance that the Bank’s operations, internal controls, risk management processes, and governance practices are effective and comply with applicable federal and state banking laws, regulations, and internal policies.

• You enjoy being a trusted partner who can provide practical guidance, strengthen controls, and offer thoughtful feedback in a way that is productive and well received.
• You are comfortable working independently while still building strong relationships and collaborating across departments.
