POP JOBS: Senior IT Auditor

Posted October 28th, 2010 in For Job Seekers

POP (Poly Opportunity Profile) JOBS are a new feature!  Each week we’ll highlight one of our best opportunities or employers.

If you’re a Senior IT Auditor, this could be your dream job

This is a terrific opportunity for someone who wants to make a real difference to the organization:  You’ll interact with all levels of management, contribute to the continuous improvement of internal audit practices and procedures, and act as a resource to non-IT audit members.

In other words, this could be the job that reminds you why you chose this career in the first place!

THE BASICS:

  • Assist the IT Audit Manager in identifying and assessing the impact of policy, procedure and control weaknesses on the IT operations of all functional units of the organization
  • Plan, schedule and conduct IT audits (and direct any audit staff assigned to those audits)
  • Produce results which provide independent, objective audit reports and other IT assurance services related to risk management, internal control and governance processes

THE RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Plan, conduct, document and report on risk-based IT audits (in accordance with generally accepted audit best practices and internal audit standards under the general guidance of the IT Audit Manager)
  • Build and maintain positive relationships with the management of departments being audited:  You’ll ensure audit scope reflects management’s areas of concern – and that audits are completed on-time and on-budget
  • Act as a resource to non-IT operational audit team members.  You’ll help ensure that all significant IT risks have been considered and addressed during the execution of operation audit assignments
  • Participate in integrated IT/Operational audits
  • Prepare or review the development, testing and implementation of CAAT’s for audit, investigation or risk assessment purposes
  • Participate in IT-related external audit or regulatory audit work assignments

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE:

You’re the kind of person who can see the forest and the trees – you love the details but can also see the big picture.  Working with stakeholders from other functions and departments is one of the things you love about your job:  You see it as an opportunity to learn new things and make a substantive contribution to the organization.  At the same time, you’re confident in your ability to work independently and proactively.

(Being enthusiastic about what you do for a living – and being invested in the process and the results – is a definite plus!)
