IT Audit, AVP (Listed Financial Institution)

The Opportunity

A well-established financial services organisation in Singapore is looking to strengthen its Internal Audit function with an experienced technology audit professional. This is a chance to operate as a trusted risk advisor within a fast-paced, highly regulated environment — bringing technology risk, cyber risk and AI governance expertise to a team that sits at the centre of the organisation's control environment.

About the Organisation

Our client is a well-established organisation within Singapore's financial services industry, supporting a broad ecosystem of institutional stakeholders through its core operations. Internal Audit plays a critical role, providing independent and objective assurance that strengthens governance, risk management and controls across business, operations and technology functions spanning multiple geographies.

The Role

Reporting into the Internal Audit function, you will plan, manage and execute risk-based audits across technology, cyber security, data, AI governance and operations. You'll act as a technical anchor for the team — designing test steps that translate business and technology risk into targeted, data-driven testing, and building the stakeholder relationships that let your findings actually land.

What You'll Do

• Plan, manage and execute risk-based audits spanning technology, cyber security, data, AI governance and operations.
• Design audit test steps to evaluate risks, controls and governance processes in scope.
• Carry out fieldwork, document work papers and maintain supporting evidence in the audit management system.
• Draft audit findings and reports, and present observations to stakeholders.
• Build data analytics procedures for planned audits, translating business and technology risk into targeted testing.
• Support initiatives that grow the function's data analytics and AI capabilities.
• Stay current on regulatory developments — including MAS requirements, cyber hygiene expectations and AI-related guidelines — relevant to financial institutions.
• Build and maintain relationships with management, stakeholders, external auditors and regulators.
• Support ad-hoc management requests, special investigations and other audit-related assignments.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, AI, Business Analytics or related field.
• At least 6 years of internal/external audit experience in financial institutions or a related industry.
• At least 4 years' hands-on experience with Python.
• Experience in data analytics, data visualisation, application controls, technology risk, cyber risk or AI governance is an advantage.
• Certifications such as CISA, CISSP, CIA, AIGP, or cloud certifications (e.g. AWS) viewed favourably.
• Solid grasp of capital markets, technology priorities and associated emerging risks/controls.
• Familiarity with financial services regulation (MAS, cyber security requirements) and listing/governance-related frameworks relevant to the industry.
• Comfortable with analytics/visualisation tools such as Python, Alteryx, Spotfire, Power BI or Tableau.
• Strong analytical and communication skills; confident engaging senior stakeholders up to Board Audit Committee level.
• Able to manage tight timelines, adapt quickly and multi-task under pressure.
