You will drive audit quality through expert judgment and decision-making on engagement objectives, scope, testing, technology enablement, and issue resolution.  This role requires continuous, transparent communication with senior leadership and stakeholders to influence risk-informed decisions, accountability for audit findings, and cost-effective solutions. The ideal candidate combines strategic thinking, change leadership, domain expertise, tech/AI know-how, and a business-enablement mindset to deliver best-in-class audit services, trusted partnership and strategic advice.
