This role will also focus on building relationships and assessing risks across the organization by engaging with leaders of development, hosting, service delivery, corporate IT, security, compliance, support as well as accounting, finance, human resources, sales, marketing, and legal. From these relationships you will contribute to the development of internal audit’s project plan that includes advisory and assurance projects. You will partner with the internal audit leader to develop a skills sourcing plan that determines what skills we will build or buy to accomplish internal audit’s mission to “Help Q2 serve its stakeholders by strengthening its processes.”

You will establish and execute our SOC ITGC testing program and assist with our SOX testing program. These responsibilities will require a working knowledge of SOC ITGC controls and SOX business controls including those addressing change management, access management, and operations management for hosted and SaaS applications.

You will leverage your technology background to lead the development of the team to maintain a reasonable understanding of technology risks and how to use technology in our projects.
