Description
Amazon is in search of a Senior IT Auditor Manager to join the Finance Operations Risk and Intelligence (FORI) team. Our environment revolves around a complex service-oriented architecture (SOA). You should possess a solid background in both technical and commercial aspects, and the capacity to swiftly grasp new concepts. In this role, your ability to comprehend technologies used in intricate business processes and identify various risks associated with processes such as financial, regulatory compliance, operations, and organizational policy is essential. Effective interaction with highly technical software development engineers and business leaders should come naturally to you. A wide-ranging technical proficiency, coupled with a quick aptitude for learning novel technological ideas, is essential. You will be comfortable working as both an independent contributor, manager, and a collaborative team player.
Your responsibilities will encompass conducting IT audits and overseeing projects spanning diverse technologies that underpin our Finance Operations activities. You will autonomously execute project plans, engage in data analytics and reviews, draft findings in written form, facilitate business responses, and track follow-ups on action items. Our expectations go beyond merely identifying risks and proposing mitigating solutions; you should also be proficient in translating technical risks into business considerations. Your role involves supporting project management, aiding business partners in recognizing opportunities for enhancing controls, and serving as a subject matter authority to minimize risks. Your scope will extend to technologies used in finance operations, encompassing areas such as accounts payable, accounts receivable, corporate facilities, and payroll processes, among others. Additionally, you will contribute to adhoc assignments based on priority, as directed by FORI leadership.
Effective communication is key; you must be an adept writer capable of succinctly conveying complex technical matters in business terms. Your role demands strong leadership in audits, managing audit plans from inception to conclusion, often concurrently overseeing multiple audits.
