Senior Operational Auditor 
Accounting & Finance  |  Lambert Nemec Group

 

The Opportunity
Senior Operational Audit roles are everywhere. Ones that actually move a business? Less so.

 

A well-established, privately held global organization is looking for multiple Senior Operational Auditors — someone who treats audit as a tool for making the business better, not a box-ticking exercise.  You can be based out of at least a dozen locations throughout North America.  For those not residing in one of the locations relocation is covered!  

 

This is a company built on doing real things: making products at scale, across multiple facilities and markets, with operations spanning North America and Europe. Decades of success behind them, a stable foundation, and serious ambition for what comes next. What they need now is an auditor who can go deep on operational and financial risk, find the root cause, and tell management what needs to change, with the credibility to make it stick.

If you like audits that get into the guts of how a business runs, and you want a seat where leadership listens, read on.

 

What You'll Own
This isn't a junior seat running someone else's program. You'll lead audits end to end.  From pre-planning through to presenting results to senior management and the Audit Committee, then tracking remediation until it's done.

Specifically, you will:
•    Plan and execute operational, regulatory, and financial internal audits across the business
•    Build audit programs, document processes, test samples, analyze evidence, and pin down issues and their root causes
•    Provide reasonable assurance that controls and governance systems are working as intended, and flag it clearly when they aren't
•    Run data mining and analysis to test control effectiveness, including investigating suspicious transactions
•    Draft clear, concise, objective audit reports with recommendations that add real value, and present them to management and the Global Director
•    Help build out IA methodology, annual risk assessments, and a rolling audit plan, and train the team and wider staff on it
•    Develop a system that detects and tracks issues, and make sure recommended actions actually get implemented, on time
•    Benchmark against leading practices and comparable organizations

 

Who You Are
You've got 4–5+ years of operational and internal audit experience, and you've done the work of planning, testing, reporting, presenting and not just supervised it.

You'll also bring:
•    A university degree in accounting, finance, engineering, or a related field
•    A professional designation, or actively working toward one (CPA, CIA, ACCA, or similar)
•    In-depth knowledge of accounting and auditing principles, techniques, and risk management
•    A track record of adding value through proactive controls, governance, and risk management — working independently with minimal supervision or as part of a team, and hitting deadlines
•    Sharp analytical and problem-solving skills, with the attention to detail to back them up
•    The ability to move between the “big picture” and the fine print, and to handle sensitive, confidential matters with discretion
•    Strong communication skills in English and the presence to build rapport at every level of an organization
•    Willingness to travel across Canada, the U.S. approximately 20%

 

What's In It For You
•    Above average compensation and opportunity for professional development.  
•    Excellent way to learn the many businesses and industries under their umbrella that can provide a multitude of probable opportunities for advancement.
•    Genuine ownership of audits end to end, with direct exposure to senior leadership and the Audit Committee
•    A global platform.  Real operational complexity across multiple markets
•    International travel as part of the role, not a perk you have to fight for
•    Support for your professional designation and ongoing development
•    A stable, profitable business with the scale to build a long career
