Chief Auditor, Artificial Intelligence

At Citi, we value our talented employees and are committed to fostering professional growth. We are seeking a visionary leader to join our Internal Audit (IA) team as the Chief Auditor for Artificial Intelligence. This is more than an audit role; it's a unique opportunity to be at the front‑line of the AI revolution, providing critical assurance over Citi's adoption of AI/GenAI while simultaneously embedding these transformative technologies into the fabric of our audit function.

If you are a strategic leader passionate about AI and risk management, we encourage you to apply. Our people make all the difference in our success.

This is a senior‑level management position / Managing Director role, reporting to the Chief Auditor for Technology & Business Enablement and AI. As Chief Auditor for Artificial Intelligence, you will have a dual mandate: to audit AI and to build with AI. You will lead a dedicated team to provide independent assurance on AI/GenAI adoption across the firm and accelerate the integration of these technologies within Internal Audit itself.

As a member of IA's T&BE and AI Leadership team, this role requires excellent executive communication skills to influence senior leaders and stakeholders. You must be able to distil complex AI concepts into clear, compelling narratives. This capability will be key in securing buy‑in for pilots and driving adoptions, positioning IA as a forward‑looking technology‑enabled function. A critical requirement is the ability to translate business needs into actionable technical solutions, bridging the gap between auditors, data scientists and technology teams.

• Architect a pioneering assurance strategy: design and deliver a comprehensive AI/GenAI assurance strategy covering governance, legal, regulatory, cyber, technology, model risk, and third‑party systems.
• Provide independent assessment of the firm's AI/GenAI governance framework, operating model, and controls across the entire development lifecycle.
• Identify, evaluate, and incorporate coverage for risks unique to AI/GenAI, including bias, fairness, data privacy, hallucination, and adversarial attacks.
• Coordinate and deliver multiple concurrent risk‑based audit plans, ensuring timely, insightful, and high‑quality audit reports.
• Lead the development of innovative, AI‑enabled audit methods across prioritized domains and ensure timely validation of regulatory and internal audit issues to address and resolve findings effectively.
• Define and champion the GenAI tooling strategy for Internal Audit, overseeing prototyping, piloting, and integration of AI‑powered audit accelerators, and partner with a network of IA teams to embed and scale AI/GenAI solutions across all work programs.
• Act as a design authority to ensure the integrity, scalability, and resilience of new AI tools in production.
• Serve as a key advisor and point of contact for senior management, the Audit Committee, and global regulators on all AI‑related audit matters, providing independent reporting on AI/GenAI risks, findings, and strategic recommendations.
• Build and sustain open, constructive relationships with regulators, ensuring trust in the IA function's assurance.
• Lead, mentor, and develop two distinct specialist teams – the AI Assurance team and the AI Assurance Tooling & Execution team; attract, build, and retain a diverse, high‑caliber, industry‑leading team.
• Partner with Learning & Development to design and deliver training on GenAI‑enabled audit techniques, upskilling the entire IA function.

You are a pragmatic problem‑solver and a forward‑thinking leader with a deep understanding of both technology and risk. You excel at bridging the gap between business needs and technical solutions…
