- Ability to translate control or assurance gaps into practical, risk-based testing procedures.
- Experience performing internal control testing, including evidence evaluation, sample-based testing, exception analysis, and workpaper preparation.

- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to evaluate evidence, identify control issues, assess potential financial reporting impacts, and develop defensible conclusions.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with fintech and BaaS partners, Financial Controls, Risk, testing teams, management, and auditors.
- Ability to independently manage multiple control assessments and testing assignments while meeting established deadlines.
- Strong attention to detail and proficiency with Microsoft Excel, Word, Outlook, and related documentation and testing tools.
