"Chief Audit Executive"

The University of Texas at Dallas seeks an accomplished, principled, and forward-thinking leader to serve as its next Chief Audit Executive (CAE). This is a compelling opportunity for a trusted advisor and strategic audit professional to lead an independent, high-impact internal audit function that strengthens institutional integrity, enhances risk management, and advances a culture of accountability and continuous improvement across the University.

The Chief Audit Executive reports to the Vice President for Strategic Initiatives and Chief of Staff, maintains a dotted-line relationship with the President, and has functional accountability to the Institutional Audit Committee and the UT System Chief Audit Executive, serving as the University's senior authority on internal auditing.

As a strategic partner to university leadership and the Institutional Audit Committee, the Chief Audit Executive (CAE) helps advance the University's approach to governance, risk management, and internal control in support of long‑term institutional success. The CAE provides vision, leadership, and direction for the University's Audit & Advisory Services and its professional practices. In delivering independent, objective assurance and forward‑looking advisory services to the Institutional Audit Committee, the President, and senior management, the CAE offers insight, foresight, and perspective on emerging risks and opportunities. Through a systematic and disciplined approach, the CAE serves as a trusted advisor and thought leader, strengthening decision‑making, enhancing accountability, and fostering an ethics‑based culture across the campus.
