We are seeking a highly experienced and motivated Director of Internal Audit to lead our internal audit function. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing and implementing a risk-based internal audit plan focused on financial integrity, business process and IT controls, and financial governance, provide independent, objective assurance and consulting services designed to add value and strengthen the organization's control environment.

Reporting directly to the Audit Committee, you will work closely with the Board of Directors and senior management to ensure the effectiveness of financial risk management, business process and IT controls, and governance processes.

You will bring deep financial and operational audit expertise, exceptional leadership skills, and a disciplined approach to building a high-quality audit function that scales with the business. This role demands someone who can balance strategy with execution — a leader who can anticipate emerging risks, foster strong cross-functional partnerships, translate complex concepts into meaningful business insights, and be ready to operate at the lowest level of detail. You will collaborate across audit, compliance, legal/risk, and assurance functions to ensure coordination and coverage of the organization’s risk landscape.

- Strategic Leadership:

• Design, build, and execute a risk-based annual internal audit plan focused on financial reporting risk, and business process risk, aligned to the organization's strategic goals and objectives and the Audit Committee’s objectives.

• Provide leadership and direction to the co-sourced IA team, fostering a culture of continuous improvement, professional development, and ethical conduct.

• Serve as a key advisor to the Audit Committee and executive leadership.
