• effectively challenge risk management and controls within the firm, leveraging experience and perspectives
• where relevant, develop issues and audit reports according to our internal reporting and issue disposition standards that are fully supported by the work done and require minimal feedback from reviewers.
• build and maintain constructive relationships with colleagues and relevant stakeholders at all levels including senior management
• use, develop and drive the use of AI across all elements of the audit cycle
