Job Description


Internal Bank Auditor

Location: New York City area (Hybrid – 2–3 days onsite)
Type: Long term Contract 6+ months
Industry: Mid-Sized Bank / Financial Institution

We are seeking a Internal Auditor with 3–5 years of banking audit experience to support a broad portfolio of operational and business audits within a mid-sized financial institution. This role is well-suited for an auditor earlier in their career who has a solid foundation in bank audit methodology and is looking to expand exposure across core banking functions.

Amazing opportunity to work in a very high end smaller Asset Management Company's internal audit team. This is a very tight knit and cohesive team and you will have a chance to work with and be mentored by more senior Auditors. Competitive compensation- the salary range is $60.00-80.00 per hour.

You will participate in full-cycle audit execution across areas such as retail and corporate banking operations, compliance, fund finance and treasury-related activities, and supporting functions. 

Key Responsibilities

  • Execute end-to-end internal audits covering general banking and operational areas, including planning, risk assessment, fieldwork, testing, issue identification, and reporting.

  • Perform walkthroughs and control testing across first-line business functions and key operational processes.

  • Prepare clear, well-supported audit workpapers in accordance with internal audit methodology and quality standards.

  • Identify control gaps, process inefficiencies, and emerging risks; support development of practical, risk-based recommendations.

  • Collaborate with audit managers and business stakeholders throughout the audit lifecycle.

  • Assist in validating remediation efforts for previously identified audit issues.

  • Support continuous monitoring activities and ad hoc audit projects as assigned.

  • Apply data analysis and basic audit analytics, where appropriate, to enhance audit coverage.

  • Maintain awareness of regulatory expectations relevant to banking operations (e.g., OCC, Federal Reserve, FDIC), without serving as a subject-matter specialist.

Requirements

  • 3–5 years of internal audit experience within a bank or regulated financial institution.

  • Experience auditing general corporate banking, operations, or business processes (e.g., lending, payments, treasury, risk, operations, compliance).

  • Working knowledge of internal controls, risk assessment, and audit execution standards in a banking environment.

  • Ability to analyze processes, identify control weaknesses, and document findings clearly.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable interacting with business partners.

  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint; experience with audit management tools is a plus.

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or a related field required.

  • Professional certification (CPA, CIA, CISA) preferred but not required.
