  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to influence stakeholders and present complex issues clearly.

Preferred Qualifications

  • CPA, CIA, CISA, or another relevant audit, accounting, or risk management certification.
  • Knowledge of OCC regulatory expectations, FDICIA, SOX, consumer compliance, technology risk, cybersecurity, model risk, or third-party risk management.
  • Experience working with co-sourced audit providers, external auditors, or regulatory examinations.
