The role available is for a leadership position within the Internal Audit department focusing on Information Technology (IT) audits. This position entails leading, managing, and executing comprehensive audits of critical systems, infrastructure, and emerging technology areas like cloud computing, cybersecurity, and third-party risk management. The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in ensuring that IT operations and controls comply with company policies, the Internal Audit Charter, and the International Professional Practices Framework set by The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA). Reporting directly to the Staff Vice President of Internal Audit and indirectly to the Senior Audit Manager, this position demands the execution of risk-based audits, assessment of internal control compliance, and enhancement of the company’s risk management framework.

The role encompasses a wide range of responsibilities including overseeing the planning, execution, and reporting stages of IT and operational internal audits. These audits scrutinize areas such as system development standards, operating procedures, system access security, change management, disaster recovery, vendor IT resiliency, patch management, and network reviews. The role also involves fostering collaboration with business unit leadership to identify and remediate control deficiencies, promoting data analytics best practices, and ensuring that audit findings are thoroughly communicated and addressed. In addition to driving audit excellence, the candidate will guide the development and sustainment of the Internal Audit department’s policies and procedures and work closely with senior management to communicate risks and corrective actions effectively.

A critical aspect of this role is supporting compliance with internal controls over financial reporting and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) requirements. Responsibilities include risk assessments, design and testing of IT general controls, facilitating documentation of policies and procedures, and coordinating with external auditors. This integration of audit and compliance activities aims to optimize departmental efficiency and safeguard the company’s internal control environment.

Ideal candidates will bring a blend of technical, audit, and leadership expertise. This opportunity is suited for professionals who are adept at managing multiple projects, exhibiting strong project management skills, and maintaining composure under pressure. The position also demands a proactive approach to problem-solving and a commitment to continuous improvement. With the added responsibility of supervising and mentoring junior audit staff, the role offers a career path that supports both personal and professional growth within a dynamic global company. Joining Atlas Air Worldwide means becoming part of a team that not only moves cargo but also lifts ambition, reflecting the company’s commitment to innovation and responsibility towards its customers, employees, and the environment.
