The Role:
We're looking for an exceptional Head of Internal Audit to build and lead this function in our evolving, dynamic, and growing organization. As the initial hire, your vision will help determine the future roadmap, including determining the go-forward resource model. You will report to the Audit & Risk Committee of the Board with administrative oversight from the CFO. While maintaining independence, you'll work closely with colleagues tasked with developing and implementing our ERM framework as well as those responsible for internal controls and processes. And, your remit will require you to work across the broader organization, up to and including senior management and the Board. This is a wonderful opportunity for a dynamic leader who seeks broad responsibility and wants to make a difference.
If this opportunity excites you, we encourage you to apply even if you do not meet all of the qualifications.
How You Will Make an Impact:

• As the initial internal audit hire, you will identify and recommend the appropriate resource model and then implement once approved.
• Develop the internal audit plan, leveraging company risk assessments.
• Lead the implementation of the internal audit plan through the execution of financial, operational, technical, and compliance related audits. Key activities include audit planning, stakeholder management, fieldwork execution, writing and presenting audit reports, and the subsequent validation of remediated audit findings.
• Develop audit reports on the effectiveness of the internal control structure for an executive level audience (Audit and Risk Committee; Board of Directors), ensuring reported findings are appropriately documented and supported by evidence.
• Manage the process to track, follow-up, and evaluate the adequacy and timeliness of management's responses and the corrective action taken on any findings, including validation of remediation activities.
• Coordinate the activities of external audit and other third party assessors, including how best to leverage the work performed and results produced from Internal Audit's control evaluation where possible.
• Keep current on emerging trends and best practices that can be incorporated into the function, including regulatory requirements.
• Validate the effectiveness of the control environment by leading periodic control certifications for all documented controls.
• Serve as a value-add and advisory function to business partners by identifying ways to address audit findings or opportunities for enhancements with the goal of mitigating risk and improving financial and operational performance without compromising the third line of defense's independence and objectivity.
• Communicate with and educate process owners effectively, including non-finance individuals, on the importance of controls, an effective control environment, and the role of Internal Audit.
• Assist with responses to regulatory inquiries and exams as they relate to internal audit matters.
• Promote new ideas and innovative means of executing projects and internal infrastructure enhancements focused on process or technology improvements.

What You Bring to The Team:

• 10+ years of internal audit or related work experience, optimally in a high growth FinTech or SaaS company
• Excellent understanding of an internal control environment and working knowledge of regulatory compliance within the financial services industry
• Proven project management skills with the ability to juggle multiple responsibilities and deadlines
• Ownership mindset with a high degree of accountability
• Bachelor's Degree in business/accounting/finance; advanced degree a plus
