Our group has unique insight on the financial industry and its products and operations. We’re looking for detail‑oriented team players who have an interest in financial markets and want to gain insight into the firm’s operations and control processes.

Goldman Sachs Internal Auditors demonstrate strong risk and control mindsets, analytical, exercise professional skepticism and are able to challenge and discuss effectively with management on risks and control measures.

• Communicates and reports on the effectiveness of the firm’s governance, risk management and controls that mitigate current and evolving risk
