  • Serve as a primary escalation point for complex or judgmentintensive technology risk issues, supporting Directors in determining appropriate risk ratings, issue framing, and management messaging.
  • Ensure consistency and quality in how technology risks are identified, assessed, and reported across audits, particularly in highrisk or externally exposed environments.
  • Coach and develop Lead and Senior auditors to strengthen riskbased thinking, technical judgment, and the ability to articulate technology risk in clear business terms.
  • Contribute to the development, maintenance, and continuous improvement of technology audit methodologies, guidance, and playbooks, with particular focus on cybersecurity and datarelated risk areas.
  • Identify emerging technology and cyber risk trends and advise Internal Audit leadership on implications for audit coverage, skills, and resource needs.
  • Support integration of technology audit activities with financial and compliance audits, as appropriate, to enhance efficiency and risk coverage.
  • Collaborate with Directors to support external audit coordination, cosourcing activities, and talent sourcing strategies to ensure the technology audit team maintains the skills required to address evolving risks.

  • Demonstrated peoplemanagement experience, including coaching, performance management, and development of professional staff.
  • Strong ability to assess technology and cyber risks using judgmentbased, riskfocused approaches rather than checklistdriven testing alone.

  • Experience across multiple technology domains such as cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, identity and access management, data platforms, thirdparty technology risk, and system development or change processes.
  • Proven ability to communicate complex technology and cyber risks clearly to nontechnical stakeholders, including executive management.
  • Demonstrated capability to mentor and develop auditors beyond execution into riskbased thinking and technical judgment.
  • Familiarity with relevant frameworks and standards (e.g., COBIT, NIST, ISO, cloud shared responsibility models), with the ability to apply them pragmatically.
