This remote position will be reporting to Director, Internal Audit Management.

• Identify manual or repetitive steps in the audit lifecycle and build AI-enabled solutions to automate them, such as prompt workflows, AI agents, scripts, or data pipelines for evidence gathering, testing, and workpaper drafting. 
• Use data analytics and AI to test full populations when possible, identify control gaps, quantify risk exposure, and deliver data-driven insights to management. 
• Document and share what you build so the team can reuse it, and help shape Internal Audit’s AI playbook. 
• Assist in producing high-quality Internal Audit reports by clearly drafting audit issues and developing valid conclusions resulting in process and internal control improvements, while considering implementation requirements, cost, and stakeholder feedback. 
• Timely and effective communication with audit leads on audit status, escalations, issues, and reporting. 
• Perform action tracking follow-up with management for Audit Committee reporting purposes. 
• Participate in major business initiatives and proactively advise and assist the business on key risks, control environment, and change initiatives. 
• Contribute to the evolution of Internal Audit methodology, automation, and reporting, including ServiceNow IRM to scale audit coverage and quality. 
• Responsible for internal stakeholder engagement, including the development of working relationships with key stakeholders and proudly representing the Internal Audit function.
