About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Lead Auditor to join SoftwareOne's Global Internal Audit team, leading complex finance, operations, and compliance audits across the organization. In this senior individual contributor role, you will provide independent, risk-based assurance while helping strengthen governance, risk management, and internal controls. You will manage audits end-to-end, from planning and risk assessment through testing, reporting, and follow-up. Beyond assurance activities, you will act as a trusted advisor to business leaders, supporting process improvements, control enhancements, special projects, and emerging risk assessments while building strong stakeholder relationships and maintaining audit independence and objectivity.
Key Responsibilities

- Assess the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls, governance processes, and risk management practices, focusing on the areas of highest business risk and impact
- Develop clear, evidence-based audit findings, identify root causes, and collaborate with stakeholders to define practical, value-adding remediation actions
- Monitor and validate the implementation of agreed action plans, helping ensure sustainable control improvements and effective risk mitigation
- Contribute to the annual risk assessment and audit planning process, providing insight into key finance, operations, compliance, and emerging business risks
- Leverage data analytics, digital tools, and innovative audit techniques to enhance audit quality, efficiency, and insight, while identifying trends, anomalies, and control gaps
- Coach and support less experienced auditors through guidance, work reviews, and knowledge sharing, while contributing to the continuous improvement of Internal Audit methodologies, quality standards, and best practices
