Overview:
We are seeking a senior, analytically strong professional to support and elevate customer compliance audits through data‑driven insight, audit strategy design, and expert review of audit conclusions. This role focuses on judgment, challenge, and executive‑level communication, rather than day‑to‑day task supervision.
The ideal candidate brings deep experience analyzing commercial transactions and contractual compliance, and can confidently review, validate, and defend audit outcomes with senior leadership, both internally and at audited organizations.
This role is well suited for candidates whose skills were developed in finance, risk, commercial analytics, investigations, or compliance, even if they have not followed a traditional audit career path.
Key Responsibilities:
Audit strategy & analytical leadership
-
Design and refine risk‑based audit strategies using transactional data, contract terms, and trend analysis.
-
Analyze complex datasets covering purchases, inventory movements, invoices, pricing adjustments, credits, and shipments to identify compliance gaps, financial leakage, or potential fraud.
Review & quality oversight
-
Review audit work performed by customer auditors to ensure:
-
Appropriate testing approaches were used
-
Evidence supports conclusions
-
Findings are internally consistent and defensible
-
-
Provide technical challenge and refinement of audit conclusions and recommendations.
Executive communication & defense
-
Consolidate audit results into clear, evidence‑based narratives.
-
Present and defend audit methodology, findings, and impact with very senior stakeholders (Director level and above) from both the company and audited customers.
-
Navigate dispute situations and materially conflicting viewpoints with confidence and credibility.
Risk mitigation & continuous improvement
-
Identify emerging compliance and commercial risks through data analytics and business understanding.
-
Influence Sales, Finance, Legal, and Operations partners on remediation actions and process improvements.
-
Contribute to the evolution of audit methodologies, analytics, and tools to improve effectiveness and efficiency.
Enablement & guidance
-
Provide technical guidance and knowledge sharing to auditors executing fieldwork.
-
Support targeted compliance training and capability-building initiatives when required.
