Internal Audit, Cloud Technology Audit, Sr. Vice President

In Internal Audit, we ensure that Goldman Sachs maintains effective controls by assessing the reliability of financial reports, monitoring the firm's compliance with laws and regulations, and advising management on developing smart control solutions. 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.

As the third line of defense, Internal Audit's mission is to independently assess the firm's internal control structure, including governance processes, risk management, capital and anti‑financial crime frameworks, raise awareness of control risk, and monitor the implementation of management's control measures.

• Communicates and reports on the effectiveness of the firm's governance, risk management and controls that mitigate current and evolving risk
• Raises awareness of control risk
• Assesses the firm's control culture and conduct risks
• Monitors management's implementation of control measures
