  • Serve as a strategic thought leader to Audit executives and VP+ stakeholders, challenging the organization to maximize value from AI and advanced analytics while managing data, model, operational, and ethical risks.
  • Shape a platform-based approach that reduces time to market, increases reuse, and allows auditors to focus on work requiring professional judgment while AI supports anomaly detection, full-population testing, evidence generation, actionable insights, and control-risk reporting.
  • Collaborate with Enterprise AI, data science, technology, risk, compliance, and business leaders to extend Audit-built capabilities across the three lines of defense and improve enterprise risk management effectiveness.
  • Enable continuous monitoring, more robust risk detection, automated evidence generation, and deeper data-driven insights that establish Audit as a beacon of innovation and a destination for technical and future-skilled audit talent.

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
