Responsibilities
The Information Technology (IT) Auditor plays a key role on Eastman's Internal Audit team, executing risk-based audits that evaluate the design and effectiveness of information technology controls across the enterprise. The IT Auditor leads or supports engagements spanning IT general controls, application controls, Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance, cybersecurity, and IT-dependent business processes. This role calls for someone who brings 3+ years of relevant experience, strong analytical thinking, and the ability to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. The IT Auditor also contributes to department-wide process improvement, mentors team members, and helps advance Eastman's use of AI, data analytics and automation within the audit function.
The primary role of an Information Technology (IT) Auditor is to execute various audit engagements in a lead or support position. Audit execution involves scoping, planning, testing, identification of issues, and reporting. The IT Auditor may have a primary focus on IT business processes and/or Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) areas. Even though the audit execution process has a defined framework, each audit and process owner are unique, so the ability to respond appropriately to varying situations and environments is important. The IT Auditor engages in various projects in support of Eastman's Internal Audit process improvement and special requests.
