Coordinate engagement teams to manage the quality and implementation of remediation actions for IT-related findings.
• Drive Risk Mitigation & Control Implementation: Proactively identify potential risks within the EIT environment using a risk-based approach.

• Audit & Translation Capability: Exceptional ability to translate ambiguous or complex evidence-of-control requests from external auditors into clear, actionable data and presentation formats that EIT teams can provide.
• Stakeholder & Communication Skills: Excellent communication, analytical, and interpersonal skills to seamlessly bridge the gap between technical IT operations and non-technical stakeholders, driving consensus in cross-functional environments.
