About the Role:

Some people have a knack for seeing how to make something better. They don't just see what is, they see what can be. They possess a keen ability to listen deeply, consult honestly, and advise with expert precision. Some call them consultants or advisors; we prefer "internal auditor". Whatever the title, they're in the business of helping teams get from good to great... and from great to outstanding. Some of these people get their own TED Talk. Others -- like you, perhaps -- join companies like AGF to help our internal teams raise their game. Sound intriguing? Then we advise you to keep reading.

Who You Are

You're a premier problem-solver who thrives in a collaborative, agile environment. You understand how to improve a process and are adept with the tools and techniques of the trade. You're naturally curious and comfortable structuring work plans, defining objectives, and conducting fact-based analysis.

You take ownership of your work from start to finish. You don't wait to be told what to do—you're proactive in identifying issues, asking questions, and seeking out opportunities to add value. You have an innate curiosity that drives you to understand not just the "what" but the "why" behind business processes and controls.

You're a fast learner who can quickly grasp new concepts, business processes, and emerging risks. You possess the flexibility and sound judgment to pivot when priorities shift—a critical trait in our dynamic environment.

You excel at collaboration and communication. Whether working with junior staff, business process owners, or senior executives, you build rapport easily and communicate clearly. You're equally comfortable facilitating discussions, presenting findings, or rolling up your sleeves to dig into data.

You bring a business partner mindset, not a checkbox mentality. You're focused on delivering value, not just completing tasks. You understand that effective internal audit means being a trusted advisor who helps the business succeed.

You're candid yet discreet, open and organized, relational and trustworthy, and you absorb new knowledge quickly and eagerly.
