• Coordinate SOC 1 / SOC 2 and financial audit activities, including preparation of PBCs, control narratives, walkthroughs, and auditor responses.
• Maintain the enterprise issues log; validate remediation plans, track corrective actions, and report issue status and trends to senior management and the Board on a quarterly basis.
• Align testing scope, timing, and evidence reuse with independent AML and Consumer Compliance testing to reduce duplication and operational burden.
• Develop and report KRIs, KPIs, and emerging risk trends for Board Risk and Audit Committees.
• Maintain internal audit manuals, testing procedures, sampling methodologies, and standardized templates to ensure consistency and audit defensibility.

• Strong ability to design and execute risk-based testing plans, document results, and communicate issues clearly to senior management.
• Proven stakeholder management skills, with the ability to coordinate across Compliance, Finance, Product, Engineering, and Operations.
• Bachelor's degree required; professional certifications such as CIA, CISA, CPA, or CRISC preferred.
