  • Coordinate with the Security team while maintaining full independence.
  • Contribute to the innovation and evolution of internal control practices.

What We’re Looking For

  • 5–10 years of experience in IT audit, ideally in finance or regulated environments
  • Strong understanding of infrastructurecybersecurity, and IT governance
  • Fluent in English (written and spoken)
  • Ability to challenge technical teams and translate findings into actionable insights
  • Strong analytical mindset, attention to detail, and autonomy

Nice to Have

  • DORA certification or experience with DORA-related audits
