Job Description

Who You'll Work With

We are looking for an experienced Internal Auditor to join our team. While this role will support broader Internal Audit (IA) projects, the primary focus will be on Channel Audits. You will leverage your external audit background to ensure rigorous compliance and operational efficiency within our partner ecosystem. This role requires a professional with a strong hand in managing complex documentation and the ability to work independently to achieve project goals.

What You'll Do

1. Channel & General Audit Execution

• Lead and execute channel partner audits for regulatory compliance, assess operational integrity and understand the flow of value through our partner ecosystem.
• Lead financial, operational, and compliance audit projects across the broader organization.
• Analyze data and generate insights to understand trends and underlying risks.

2. Documentation & Process Management

• Documentation Excellence: Manage and handle end-to-end audit documentation. You will be responsible for creating high-quality, retraceable workpapers and evidence repositories.
• Assist to document business processes and procedures, ensuring that the "trail of evidence" is clear for external regulators or internal reviews.

3. Reporting & Communication

• Produce audit reports and other documents with clearly organized thoughts, highlighting key risks and actionable recommendations for management.

4. Stakeholder Management & Collaboration

• Cross-Functional Coordination: Coordinate closely with other functions (Sales, Operations, Finance) to effectively manage audit timelines and deliverables.
• Insight Sharing: Actively share audit insights and findings with relevant business and legal stakeholders to drive transparency and informed decision-making.

Qualifications

• 3–5 years of experience in Auditing or Accounting.
• External Audit experience is preferable (Big 4 or mid-tier firm experience preferred).
• Professional degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
