- Partner with Finance, IT, Operations, and other business stakeholders to assess risks associated with new system implementations, upgrades, integrations, and process changes.
- Provide control advisory support during system implementations to help ensure risks are identified early and appropriate controls are designed into future-state processes.
- Identify opportunities to reduce manual processes, improve interfaces between systems, strengthen data flows, and support automation across legacy and evolving technology environments.
- Develop clear, practical audit findings and recommendations that balance risk management, compliance requirements, and business needs.
- Challenge existing processes and assumptions in a constructive way, bringing an analytical and solutions-oriented mindset to complex or evolving control environments.
- Perform walkthroughs, testing, documentation reviews, issue validation, and follow-up activities in accordance with internal audit methodology and professional standards.
- Assist with management reporting, audit committee materials, risk assessments, and other internal audit deliverables as needed.
- Stay informed on emerging technology risk, public company control expectations, and leading practices in internal audit, SOX, and IT governance.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Information Systems, Computer Science, Finance, Business, or a related field.
- At least 4–5 years of combined experience in public accounting, internal audit, IT audit, risk advisory, or a related controls-focused role.
- Experience evaluating IT general controls, application controls, business process controls, and technology-enabled risks.
- Experience in or exposure to a public company environment, SOX compliance, or public company readiness activities is strongly preferred.
- Experience supporting or auditing new system implementations, ERP implementations, system integrations, or technology transformation initiatives is a plus.
- Strong understanding of internal control concepts, risk assessment, audit documentation, and testing procedures.
- Ability to work with manual, legacy, and developing control environments while helping the business move toward more automated, scalable solutions.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to translate technical or control concepts into clear, business-oriented recommendations.
- High degree of curiosity, professional skepticism, sound judgment, and willingness to challenge the status quo.
- Hospitality, travel, leisure, attractions, or other consumer-facing industry experience is helpful but not required.
