• Provide day‑to‑day guidance, coaching, and on‑the‑job development to Staff Auditors assigned to engagements
• Review staff workpapers and analyses, providing constructive feedback to strengthen audit quality and analytical thinking
• Support the development of audit staff by modeling strong judgment, operational mindset, and professional communication
• Contribute to internal audit initiatives, such as methodology enhancements, analytical approaches, or knowledge sharing across the team

• Lean Six Sigma (Green or Black Belt), is a plus

Work Environment & Travel Expectations

• Work may include on‑site visits to operating locations, such as distribution centers and other business facilities
• Travel is expected (up to approximately 25%), primarily within the U.S., with occasional international travel as needed.
