Role Overview:
Lead Internal Audit's operating strategy, Board and Audit Committee readiness, and quality improvement coordination, and sponsor AI-enabled transformation of audit workflows. Partner with IA leadership to turn priorities into scalable workflows, actionable performance reporting, and measurable results.
What you’ll do: Strategy and Operational Excellence
- Own the IA operating model, leadership cadence, strategic initiatives, and continuous improvement roadmap.
- Own IA scorecards, dashboards, KPIs, and OKRs to monitor organizational performance, portfolio delivery, and execution risks.
- Run feedback loops including post-engagement reviews, stakeholder surveys, and lessons learned, and report themes to the CAE.
Board and Executive Governance
- Own the process, timeline, consistency checks, and follow-through for Audit Committee and Board materials, including pre-Board preparation and follow-through.
- Work closely with the IA Executive Assistant Business Partner (EABP) on planning and coordination of pre-Board meetings, IA SLT meetings, and major IA forums. The EABP retains responsibility for executive scheduling, calendar coordination, and meeting logistics.
- Own SLT, Directors+ and All People Meeting agenda preparation, decision tracking, and escalation of open actions.
Professional Practices and Audit Operations
- Coordinate the CAE's quality assurance and improvement program (ongoing monitoring, internal assessment logistics, and improvement tracking), audit manual upkeep, methodology support, and knowledge sharing in partnership with technical audit leaders.
- Oversee audit portfolio operations, staffing visibility, management action plan follow-up, and operational reporting through the L5 lead.
- Decision rights: audit leadership retains methodology decisions, engagement quality, and final staffing approvals; this role owns operating cadence, reporting, and process.
AI, Product and Technology Enablement
- Translate Uber's AI direction into practical, responsible use cases embedded in audit workflows and daily IA operations.
- Sponsor and prioritize audit workflow tools, automation, knowledge management, and technology enhancements.
- Coordinate cross-functional implementation, adoption, training, and measurement of impact against defined adoption and time-savings targets.
Leadership
- Lead, coach, and develop the L5 IA Operations & Enablement role.
- Partner with IA leaders, Finance, Legal, Technology, and the IA EABP to ensure clear accountability and timely execution.
Success in the first 12 months will look like:
- Board and Committee materials delivered on a fixed timeline with few late changes.
