Senior Internal Auditor

Our Internal Audit Services Team has an exciting opportunity for an Internal Auditor to join our Business & Corporate Audit Services (BCAS) team! In this dynamic role, you will execute risk‑based business and operational audits, while also incorporating technology and IT control considerations relevant to modern, digitally enabled business processes. You will evaluate management’s internal controls, influence senior leadership to strengthen the control environment, and support audit coverage of key enterprise and technology‑enabled risks.

BCAS covers a wide range of Vanguard’s business and corporate functions—including client services, wealth and advice, intermediary support, and key enterprise functions—making it an excellent fit for someone who enjoys cross‑functional work and meaningful involvement across the organization.

Responsibilities:

• Perform complex work for risk-based audits and consulting engagements (including research, evaluation and analysis, testing and reporting) on topics related to risk, governance, process, technology, controls, and operating practices of assigned engagements.
• Incorporate relevant technology considerations into audits, including assessing IT‑enabled controls (e.g., system access, automated controls, data integrity, and key interfaces) in partnership with technology stakeholders.
• Connect with various levels of management (department and client) to discuss progress and results including opportunities to strengthen processes/controls and related remediation efforts.
• Participate in client discussions including assessment of risk and effectiveness of controls based on relevant knowledge and experience. Encourage healthy debate and collaboration among the audit team and establish relationships with business process owners and management.
• Prepare and deliver high-quality internal work papers and client facing deliverables such as process/control narratives, flowcharts, testing documentation, conclusions, recommendations and audit report findings.
• Apply relevant industry acumen including best practices, established standards, regulatory and global impact considerations to provide recommendations to business management.
• Act as a mentor to less experienced auditors by coaching on internal audit processes and methodology as well as business lines and supporting technology.
• Participate in special projects and department initiatives, as needed.
