The Role

This role serves as a partner to the Director of Finance within the hotel – providing objective evaluations, process improvement solutions, effective communication, and guidance in recommending effective internal control standards and adhering to compliance regulations.

The individual will work under limited supervision from the Internal Audit Manager with moderate latitude for initiative and independent judgment.

•Executing Management Operation Reviews (‘MOR’) in accordance with agreed-upon scope guidance. Identifying and evaluating the company’s risk areas and providing key input to the development of the annual audit plan.

•Developing recommendations using independent judgment concerning areas being reviewed.

•Communicating the results of audit and consulting projects via written reports and oral presentations to senior-level management.

•Identify opportunities to increase the use of data analytics in audit testing procedures.

•Represent Internal Audit with various organizational project teams. Develop and maintain productive relationships throughout the company through individual contacts and meetings.

•Up to 30% travel but may change with business conditions and requirements.
