·      Support audit activities, including walkthroughs, evidence gathering, and audit response coordination

·      Assist with deficiency management and remediation tracking

·      Manage and prioritize multiple concurrent requests across audits, risks, and compliance deliverables

·      Maintain and update records in EGRC (Governance, Risk & Compliance tool)

·      5–7+ years of experience in risk, compliance, or audit within enterprise environments

·      Experience supporting technology or infrastructure teams

·      Ability to understand and communicate technical concepts (infrastructure, networking, ITIL processes)

·      Proven experience managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced, ad hoc environment

·      Excellent verbal and written communication skills (critical requirement)

·      Strong organizational and time management skills

Technical & Domain Exposure

·      Infrastructure domains such as:

o  Network operations

o  ITIL (incident, change, problem management)

o  Patch management

o  Scheduling tools (e.g., AutoSys)

o  Data feeds / integration platforms

·      Familiarity with audit processes, controls, and governance structures

·      Experience working with internal stakeholders (technology, InfoSec, audit, risk)

Nice-to-Have

·      Banking or financial services experience

·      Experience supporting regulatory audits (e.g., DORA or similar frameworks)

·      Prior experience working in large, highly regulated enterprise environments

What Success Looks Like

·      Ability to quickly step into new audit or risk requests with minimal ramp-up

·      Clear, concise communication between technical teams and audit stakeholders

·      Effective handling of multiple high-priority workstreams simultaneously

·      Strong stakeholder trust and consistent delivery of audit-ready outputs

Team & Environment

·      Team of ~5–6 supporting enterprise infrastructure risk

·      Work is primarily conducted via calls, meetings, and stakeholder coordination

·      Highly collaborative and dynamic environment with shifting priorities

Interview Process

·      2 rounds (both in-person):

1.    Hiring Manager interview

2.    Panel interview with team members

Candidate Profile

·      Self-starter who can “hit the ground running”

·      Comfortable navigating ambiguity and changing priorities

·      Strong communicator who can translate technical detail into business/audit language

·      Highly organized, detail-oriented, and adaptable
