Internal Audit Manager, Vice President - Issue Validations - Technology

As a Technology Audit Manager on the Issue Validation Internal Audit Team, you will lead end-to-end validations of technology issues to assess whether remediation is complete, sustainable, and materially reduces residual risk.

Additionally, you will contribute to the continued adoption of AI-enabled tools and data analytics to enhance quality, efficiency, and risk coverage, while ensuring alignment with firm standards and data handling requirements.
