The Internal Auditor (IT & Business Focus) provides independent, objective assurance and advisory services to help safeguard company assets, strengthen internal controls, and enhance operational and technology effectiveness.

- Evaluate things like:
- System access, change management, and IT operations
- Cybersecurity practices and third-party/vendor risk
- Core insurance processes (claims, underwriting, finance)
- Turn findings into clear, actionable recommendations
- Track issues through resolution—not just report and walk away
- Partner across teams to improve how the business actually operates
Qualifications

- Solid understanding of controls (ITGCs, SOX/MAR, COSO, etc.)
- Ability to spot risk and explain it clearly
- Strong analytical skills—you can connect dots others miss
- Comfort working independently and owning your work
Nice to have:
- CISA (or working toward it)
- Exposure to cybersecurity standards (NIST, NYDFS, etc.)
- Familiarity with Microsoft tools or AI governance concepts
- Bachelor's degree
