About the role

About the Team

Our Internal Audit team plays a strategic role in helping the business navigate risk while enabling growth and innovation. Working across global operations with colleagues based throughout the U.S. and Singapore, we bring diverse perspectives and deep expertise to deliver independent assurance, practical insights, and meaningful improvements across technology, finance, operations, and compliance.

 

About the Role

Technology is transforming every aspect of our business—from cloud computing and AI to digital commerce and cybersecurity. As Senior Manager, Technology Risk & Assurance, you will play a critical role in providing independent assurance over the company's technology risks, governance, and control environment while helping strengthen confidence in how technology enables our business.

Reporting to the VP of SOX & Internal Audit, you will lead our Technology Risk & Assurance program, including oversight of our global IT SOX program and risk-based technology assurance activities across modern technology environments. This role combines deep technical expertise with sound business judgment to evaluate technology risks, assess the effectiveness of controls, and provide meaningful insights that support executive leadership and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

More than a traditional audit role, this position offers the opportunity to influence how technology risk is understood and managed across the organization. You'll partner closely with Engineering, Information Security, Product, Enterprise Technology, Finance, and external auditors to provide independent perspectives that strengthen governance while supporting innovation and business objectives.

We're looking for a collaborative leader who is intellectually curious, energized by emerging technologies, and passionate about continuously improving how assurance is delivered through automation, data analytics, and AI-enabled capabilities.
