Advisory Services Director- Risk - Internal Audit

Management and boards of directors rely heavily on internal audit to provide important proactive assessments and assurance around the effectiveness of controls and company processes, while also providing objective advisory support. As an internal audit professional, you will be leading engagements to identify control enhancements, operational and compliance process improvement and efficiency opportunities, as well as company-wide cost improvements. EY is a global leading service provider in this space, with a reputation for high quality and cost-effective innovative offerings.

Our structured career framework means you'll continue to develop, whatever level you're at. And with a network stretching around the globe, you'll gain valuable insight across industries and geographies. So whenever you join, however long you stay, the exceptional EY experience lasts a lifetime.

Qualifications:
As a Risk Director, you'll build valued relationships with external clients and internal peers and develop a portfolio of business by focusing on high impact opportunities.

Drawing on your skills and experience, you'll create innovative commercial insights for clients, adapt methods and practices to fit operational team and cultural needs, and contribute to thought leadership. In addition, you'll package overall project findings into clear, concise, high-quality work products.

As a respected senior professional, you'll communicate effectively with EY's engagement partners and managers and work to build, manage and motivate high-performing teams. You'll also help key staff to build sustainable competencies.
