Your mission

You drive the day-to-day coordination of complex audits, examinations, and remediation tracking across Information Security, ICT risk, TPRM, and operational resilience. You will manage the end-to-end lifecycle of evidence collection, ensuring every request, decision, and finding remains perfectly traceable and audit-ready. By supporting domain owners and executing a highly controlled intake process, you will ensure our leadership has timely, accurate information for critical decisions and risk escalation.

What you’ll do

• Engagement & Evidence Workflow Management: Operate the daily intake process for new engagements and evidence requests. Coordinate directly with domain and control owners to collect, organize, and quality-check evidence for completeness and version control against agreed internal deadlines.
• Audit Portfolio Administration: Maintain the centralized audit calendar, engagement register, and findings inventory. Ensure precise tracking of scope, owners, requests, dependencies, and current status across all regulatory and internal assurance activities.
• Documentation & Auditor-Facing Preparation: Prepare high-quality evidence packs, response trackers, meeting agendas, action logs, and status reporting. Ensure all submissions to auditors, regulators, and management are accurate, secure, and properly approved by domain owners.
• Remediation Tracking & Control Integration: Track remediation plans and final closure evidence, identifying overdue or incomplete actions early. Partner with control-testing teams to coordinate the reuse of relevant evidence and proactively escalat[e] delivery risks to the Audit Management Lead.
• Process Optimization & Tooling: Administer the agreed workflow within existing GRC, ticketing, and collaboration tools. Consistently apply the audit-governance process while identifying safe opportunities to automate repetitive administrative work and reduce avoidable evidence rework.
