Overview
We are seeking an experienced business/operational internal audit subject matter expert (SME) to support a client team through the delivery of three audits.

The client requires a seasoned professional who can:
- Steer audit delivery and shape approach
- Identify gaps in methodology
- Educate the team in real time as audits progress
