Senior Auditor - Internal Controls (Business Process)

Overview

We are looking for a highly capable Senior Auditor – Internal Controls to help strengthen and scale the business process control environment in a fast-paced, evolving organization. This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, thinks critically, and can operate independently while partnering closely with cross-functional stakeholders across Finance, Operations, and Internal Controls. You will play a key role in assessing business processes, identifying risks and control gaps, improving operational workflows, and helping build practical, scalable controls that support a growing organization. This is not a checklist-style audit role. We are looking for someone who can ask thoughtful questions, connect the dots across processes and systems, and drive meaningful improvements with minimal oversight.
