Essential Job Duties:
Join the Internal Audit Division (IAD) as an entry-level IT Auditor and contribute to strengthening risk management and internal controls across the university. This role performs IT-focused audits and advisory engagements in accordance with IAD Standard Operating Procedures and the Institute of Internal Auditors' Global Standards. Working in a fast-paced, risk-based environment, you will help assess technology risks, evaluate the design and operating effectiveness of IT controls, and support sound governance practices across academic and administrative units.

Key Responsibilities fall within three key functional areas outlined below:

• Identify control gaps and develop practical, risk-based recommendations
• Draw accurate conclusions from complex data sets

Reporting & Communication:

• Prepare clear, concise audit documentation that supports findings and conclusions
• Present audit results and recommendations in non-technical language for varied stakeholders
• Build collaborative relationships across departments to support continuous improvement

If you are analytical, detail-oriented, and motivated to build a career in IT auditing within a collaborative, mission-driven environment, we encourage you to apply.

Other Work/Responsibilities:
In addition to the core responsibilities of this role, you may have opportunities to take on additional assignments. These projects allow you to expand your skills, explore new areas of interest, and gain a deeper understanding of the university's operations.

Minimum Experience/Education:
Requires post-baccalaureate credentials; a bachelor's degree plus 0-2 years' experience may be substituted for the advanced degree on an exceptional basis.

Required Qualifications:

• Foundational knowledge of auditing principles, IT general controls, and risk management
• Understanding of IT risk assessment and mitigation concepts
• Meticulous attention to detail and strong documentation discipline
• Ability to analyze complex information and apply sound critical thinking
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including tailoring messaging to different audiences
