Ai Risk Analyst Jobs in Missouri (NOW HIRING)

IT Audit & Risk Analyst

Remote (100%) | 12+ Month Contract

Position Summary

LRS Consulting Services is seeking an IT Audit & Risk Analyst for a long-term, fully remote contract engagement. This role supports third-party risk management, ITGC testing, vendor assessments, and audit readiness across a dynamic IT environment. What makes this role stand out is the blend of traditional IT audit work with modern tooling. You'll use Power Platform, AI, and Copilot to automate and streamline audit processes, build dashboards, and improve how the team works. If you're an IT audit professional who wants to do more than check boxes and actually modernize how audits get done, this is the opportunity.

Candidates local to the Kansas City area will be expected to work a hybrid schedule. Remote candidates should expect occasional travel to Kansas City (approximately 5%).

• Support operational reviews including change management, access controls, and business continuity
• Assist with walkthroughs, audit planning, control design, and enterprise risk management activities
• Conduct vendor risk assessments and third-party IT control evaluations
• Coordinate with internal teams and partners to gather evidence and validate remediation efforts
• Build dashboards and reporting using Power BI to support KPIs, KRIs, and audit visibility
• Design workflows and forms using Power Apps to automate audit processes and improve efficiency
• Support project coordination, issue follow-up, and external audit activities

Required Qualifications

• Minimum 5 years of experience in IT Audit, IT Risk, Information Security, or a related field
• Strong understanding of IT controls, ITGCs, and audit methodologies
• Experience with Power BI, Power Apps, and AI/Copilot automation tools

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to engage stakeholders at all levels
• Ability to manage multiple concurrent audits in a fast-paced environment

• Experience automating audit workflows or building self-service audit tools using Power Platform

Why This Role

• Fully remote with a 12+ month contract runway
