Internal Audit is a global, fast paced, dynamic team. We are one of many mechanisms at the company with the aim of continuous improvement.

You will be responsible for leading Internal Audit risk assessment activities, covering a variety of teams across Amazon’s Advertising business and Corporate functions. You will meet with senior leaders to understand the business and leverage multiple sources of business data to help you assess risks. You will use the risk assessment, your high judgement, and experience to identify potential audits and influence the audit pipeline and resource allocation. You will oversee a portfolio of audits and will mentor and support Audit Managers and Lead Auditors to help them scope, plan, and execute high-quality and impactful audits, which address the most important opportunities/risks. You will insist on the highest standards for your team and your audits, and you will be able to dive deep into every audit area, apply broad technical knowledge, sound business judgment, and partner with key stakeholders. You will understand complex business processes, system workflows, and technology to be able to identify the full range of risks relevant to the businesses and to help guide business owners in defining effective and value-added risk mitigation plans.
This role has regular interaction with various business units across Amazon and requires strong interpersonal and communication skills. You must be an excellent writer who can succinctly communicate complicated technical and operational issues in business terms. You must be comfortable performing in a highly collaborative environment and working with your peers to accomplish joint projects and meet the objectives of Internal Audit and Amazon. You must be a strong project manager who can manage end-to-end audit projects and resources, managing multiple projects at once. You will help Internal Audit recruit from within Amazon and externally and with a passion for helping auditors expand their knowledge of the business, develop risk, analytical and auditing skills, improve their judgement and leadership capabilities, and grow their careers.
To be successful in this role, you will demonstrate high judgement, clear communication, creative approaches, the ability to think big, a consistent track record of delivering results and hiring and developing the best. You will thrive in a collaborative, diverse, and dynamic environment, and you will effectively work autonomously in an ambiguous environment and be able to lead and develop cross functional teams.
