Manager - Technology Internal Audit

We’re all about helping our members make the most of their money. And while they go after their goals, you can too. As a Manager - Technology Internal Audit, you'll play a critical leadership role in providing independent, objective assessment of technology, cyber security and data-related controls, systems and processes across Australian Retirement Trust.

You'll support the delivery of our Internal Audit strategy and annual audit plan, providing valuable assurance to executive management and Board Committees on the effectiveness of technology risk management, cyber security, governance and control environments. This is an opportunity to make a genuine impact by helping strengthen organisational resilience, protect critical systems and data, and support compliance with regulatory obligations.

Working closely with senior stakeholders across the business, you'll lead end-to-end technology audits, identify emerging risks, provide meaningful insights, and support continuous improvement across the Internal Audit function.

Internal Audit is entering an exciting period of growth, with several new roles being created to support the continued development of the function. Joining now offers the opportunity to help shape a growing team, contribute to meaningful work, and be part of the function's future success.

This role is a permanent opportunity and is based in Brisbane or Sydney.

Day to day, you'll:
 

• Lead and deliver technology-focused internal audits from planning through to reporting, ensuring reviews are risk-based, timely and aligned with the approved Internal Audit Plan.
• Assess the design and effectiveness of technology, cyber security, information management and data controls across the organisation.
• Develop audit scopes, testing strategies, working papers and conclusions in line with Internal Audit methodology.
• Prepare clear, insightful audit reports that articulate risks, root causes and practical recommendations.
• Support Internal Audit reporting to executive management and Board Committees on audit outcomes, trends and emerging risks.
• Build trusted relationships with Technology leaders, executives, external auditors, regulators and assurance partners.
• Monitor audit actions and challenge closure evidence to ensure issues are effectively addressed and controls are strengthened.
• Coach, develop and support members of the Internal Audit team through ongoing feedback, guidance and capability building.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, including the use of data analytics and AI-enabled audit techniques.
• Support delivery of the broader Internal Audit program and manage multiple reviews concurrently.
