Job Description
Senior Internal Auditor
Location: Durham, NC (Hybrid)
About the role
You'll be a key contributor to our SOX program for business processes and a trusted partner to process owners. You'll execute clear, evidence‑based testing and play an active role in assurance and advisory work that strengthens processes beyond compliance.
What you'll do
Primary focus (Business SOX Execution):
- Assist in executing walkthroughs and requesting/tracking PBCs.
- Test design and operating effectiveness of key controls across in‑scope cycles (e.g., R2R, O2C, P2P, I2C, payroll, inventory) including key reports and application controls.
- Become the inventory process subject matter expert, including execution of on-site cycle count observations.
- Produce high‑quality workpapers that link risks, procedures and conclusions; maintain logical files ready for review and external auditor reliance.
- Assist in performing deficiency assessments, tracking remediation activities and retesting fixes.
Additional Focus (Assurance & Advisory, Methodology):
- Support planning, fieldwork and reporting for operational/consulting projects; develop practical, value-add recommendations with stakeholders.
- Contribute to continuous improvement of templates, checklists and ways of working.
- Support the development and execution of continuous monitoring routines by preparing datasets, running analytics, and documenting insights for manager review.
- Apply data‑driven monitoring techniques (trend analysis, exception identification, key metric tracking) to help surface potential control issues early and escalate observations to the engagement lead.
What you'll bring (must‑have)
- 1-3+ years in internal/external audit with meaningful SOX/ICFR testing experience.
- Knowledge of COSO and IIA Standards; strong attention to detail and documentation discipline.
- Confident communicator who builds rapport and manages timelines.
- Drive to learn new processes quickly and apply judgement to testing.
- Expected travel 10-20%.
Nice to have
- Professional qualification or progress (CPA/CIA).
- Experience using data to expand testing coverage and insight.
- Familiarity with ERP workflows and control points, especially SAP.
- Experience with manufacturing and/or semiconductor industry.
- AuditBoard experience.
How we work
We're a collaborative audit team that learns quickly, shares context freely, and rallies around outcomes. You'll work with inquisitive teammates who enjoy tackling new topics and finding better ways to do things. We succeed together-and part of that success comes from each team member confidently owning their projects, driving work forward independently, and knowing when to pull others in for input. We take pride in making our stakeholders' lives easier through clear insights and practical recommendations.
We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
