About The Position

The Supervisor, Global Technology Audit serves as the Internal Audit subject matter expert for cybersecurity risk, security architecture, threat management, and technical security controls. The incumbent is responsible for executing complex technology audit work with a high degree of technical independence and expert-level domain judgement. This role leads defined audit components as Functional Coordinator (FC) and may serve as Overall Coordinator (OC) for less complex engagements, applying threat-informed, risk-based thinking to assess control design and operating effectiveness across cybersecurity, infrastructure, cloud, identity, and emerging technology domains. The Supervisor functions as the technical subject matter resource on assigned engagements capable of independently evaluating security architecture and interpreting technical artifacts. This role coaches Senior Auditors on technical rigor and professional skepticism, and contributes to audit methodology development, technical testing procedure design, and continuous improvement of audit quality. Candidates are expected to develop and sustain deep practitioner-level expertise in one or more high-risk technology domains, providing technical continuity, audit program ownership, and domain leadership over a longer tenure in the function. The incumbent partners with Cybersecurity, Infrastructure, Cloud Engineering, Digital Technology, Compliance, and Business stakeholders to assess cybersecurity risks, evaluate control effectiveness, and provide independent assurance over the organization's security posture.
