Director, Internal Audit

Where it began…

In 1951 SF Fire Credit Union first opened its doors from a modest 10′ × 15′ office space in 17 Engine. It was from those humble beginnings—where everyone pitched in to help one another in their community—that the organization forged its way of business forever. Today, the San Francisco-based credit union has grown to $1.7B in assets and a membership that extends from the regional firefighters we trace our roots back to throughout our many neighbors in San Francisco, San Mateo and Marin Counties.

Our members benefit from the ideas and principles that have shaped us:
Shared trust, continuous innovation of products and services, competitive rates, and excellent member service. These qualities foster a true sense of member-ownership and strengthen the credit union’s bond with the people for whom this credit union was created.

What we stand for...

• Be Personal – Walk the Member/Employee Path
• Be a Leader – Empower, Collaborate, Own
• Be Outside the Box – Innovate, Educate, Engage
• Be Real – Integrity and Transparency Matter
• Be the Connection – Serve our Community

Second, will they thrive in a culture like ours, where we default to trust, embrace feedback, and desire to innovate? Finally, do they share our vision to help empower members to accomplish their dreams and build lasting financial security in whatever way is most relevant to their role?

What it feels like…

Most days it feels more like going to work with a big family. Whether it’s a pot luck lunch, baking birthday cakes for colleagues in the kitchen, or after-hours get together, we’re here to do a great job and have a good time while doing it! We value a good sense of humor, are motivated by a higher purpose, and always bring an "in-this-together" attitude.

While we’re driven to do great work, we also value real work/life balance.

The Director of Internal Audit is responsible for leading, managing, and advancing the Internal Audit function for the credit union. This hands-on leadership role serves as the primary liaison among the credit union, outsourced audit providers, management, business units, and regulatory examiners, as appropriate. The Director is responsible for developing and executing a comprehensive, risk-based audit program that provides independent assurance regarding the effectiveness of governance, risk management, internal controls, and regulatory compliance across the organization.

Given the credit union's current outsourced audit model, the Director will oversee and coordinate all internal audit activities, ensuring effective collaboration between external audit partners and business units throughout the audit lifecycle. Responsibilities include audit planning and scheduling, facilitating audit fieldwork, tracking and validating corrective actions, and providing regular reporting to management and the Audit & Enterprise Risk Committee. As the Internal Audit function matures, the Director will play a key role in building internal audit capabilities by conducting select audits in-house, enhancing monitoring and reporting processes, strengthening governance and control frameworks, and identifying opportunities to improve audit coverage, organizational oversight, and overall program effectiveness.

This is an individual contributor role with no direct reports.

• Perform annual enterprise-wide audit risk assessments and present audit plans and recommendations to management and the Audit Committee for approval.
• Continuously evaluate audit…
