Senior Internal Auditor

If you’ve built your career in audit and you’re ready to move into shaping how a business operates, this is the kind of role that doesn’t come around often. You’ll step into a highly visible position where your work directly impacts how the business runs day to day. This is hands‑on, in the field, partnering with operations, finance, and leadership across a complex manufacturing environment role with our client.

This role sits within a SOX-focused internal audit group, but the work goes beyond compliance. You’ll lead audits from start to finish, owning scope, execution, and communication, while helping strengthen processes across the business.

• Conduct site visits to evaluate risk, assess processes, and review control effectiveness

• Partner with accounting, controllership, and site leadership to evaluate and improve controls
• Identify gaps, communicate findings, and help drive practical remediation plans
• Contribute to improving audit methodology, documentation, and consistency across the function
• Support system implementations and evaluate control impacts across ERP and operational systems

• True business exposure: You’re not just auditing; you’re embedded in how the business operates
• Manufacturing complexity: Heavy focus on inventory, cost accounting, and operational controls
• Ownership: You’ll run your audits, manage timelines, and be accountable for delivery
• Global scope: Exposure to multiple sites and operations, both domestic and international

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
• 7–8+ years of audit experience (public accounting or internal audit)
• Prior experience evaluating internal controls
• Strong understanding of GAAP, SOX, and risk assessment methodologies
• Proven ability to manage multiple projects and meet tight deadlines
