IT Auditor
CA - Fullerton
Opportunity Overview
For the dynamic IT auditor -- preferably with a Big 4 background -- who has the ability to drive IT audits in a team environment, consider this high potential opportunity to transition into private industry and attain a more favorable work-life balance!
As our IT Auditor, you will be responsible for conducting internal IT audits to review and assess IT related controls and review compliance with policies and procedures. In addition to IT related projects, you'll also collaborate with operational auditors to ensure integrated audits as you bring a fresh perspective on technology, business process improvements and best practices to help optimize our IT environment.
You'll have a vested interest in our success and will be uniquely positioned to take advantage of the "upward draft" of opportunity. In fact, we intend for this to be a flow-through position and you will be ideally positioned to evolve your career along multiple paths after a short 2-4 year rotation within our Internal Audit Group.
Spanning the biomedical testing continuum -- from pioneering medical research and clinical trials to laboratory diagnostics and point-of-care testing -- Beckman Coulter's 200,000 installed systems provide essential biomedical information to enhance health care around the world. Fueled by our recession resilient product portfolio and consistent sales, we're poised for continued growth in spite of a recessionary economy.
What Else Is in It for You
- Global exposure -- you'll gain a unique "insider's view" of our global business and be able to use this insight to better tailor your audits to the needs of our organization, as you also continue to build your competencies.
- Autonomy & empowerment -- we'll entrust you with the freedom and flexibility to achieve your objectives independently with significant latitude for initiative and independent judgment.
- Great work environment with optimal work life balance -- you will collaborate within a proud team rich in talents and skills and work with like-minded people who are passionate about success and dedicated to achieving measurable results. While we do not promise a walk in the park when it comes to the dedication and commitment required of the job, you will be able to more smoothly accommodate "life" as well as "work," and find an optimal balance between the two.
- Excellent benefits -- in addition to a very competitive salary and bonus opportunity, we offer a robust benefits package that includes low-cost health insurance coverage for you and your family; matching 401(k) as well as a retirement account plan; stock purchase plan; paid vacation and holidays; tuition assistance; and more.
- Pride -- you'll join an established, profitable and highly successful global leader that has proven itself capable of evolving to meet the needs of the marketplace and maintaining a healthy growth rate throughout.
What You'll Bring to the Table
- Bachelor's degree in Information Technology or related discipline.
- Solid 3-5 years of IT Auditing, IT consulting and/or Public Accounting experience.
- ERP application and business process experience, in an implementation or auditing role.
- Knowledge of management information systems terminology, concepts and practices.
- Skill in collecting and analyzing complex data and drawing logical conclusions.
- Excellent writing skills, particularly in documenting Audit Report findings and recommendations.
- Solid verbal communication skills, including active listening and in presenting findings and recommendations.
- Interpersonal savvy and team player mentality to build harmonious working relationships with co-workers, staff and external contacts.
- Solid computer proficiency with Microsoft office suite, including Word & Excel, to prepare reports, memos, summaries and analyses.
- Ability to travel (about 10%).
Preferred, but not required:
- CISA or other applicable professional certification(s).
- Knowledge of Oracle, UNIX or Active Directory.
- Big 4 background.
- Manufacturing industry experience.
More About Your Role
If you are a good fit for this position, you already know most of what this job entails. However, to be sure we're providing a complete picture, here are some details.
Reporting directly to the Manager of IT Audit, you'll join us at the Fullerton office. As you come on board, you'll aim to quickly get "your arms around" our complex business and the different moving parts of our system and focus on consistently issuing high quality audit reports.
This role will evolve over time and while you'll initially spend 100% of your time on IT audits, we plan on implementing integrated audits by 2009 and at that point you'll spend about 70% of your time with IT audits; and the remaining 30% with operational or integrated audits. Specifically, your responsibilities are to:
- Build and perform audit procedures, including identifying and defining issues, developing criteria, reviewing and analyzing evidence, and documenting client processes and procedures.
- Identify, develop, and document audit issues and recommendations using independent judgment concerning areas being reviewed.
- Communicate the results of audit and consulting projects via written reports and oral presentations to management.
- Develop and maintain productive client and staff relationships through individual contacts and group meetings.
- Pursue professional development opportunities, including external and internal training and professional association memberships, and share information gained with co-workers.
- Assist Internal Audit Staff by providing necessary training, coaching and guidance.
- Perform related work as assigned by audit management.
Keys to Success
Your success in this role will largely derive from your technical and analytical abilities as you take on multiple audits within tight timelines. However, the quality of your work product will be just as important, and you'll need to be extremely thorough and detail oriented while employing sound judgment to develop accurate assessments and propose insightful business process recommendations that will help us achieve our IT objectives. Other facets of success are to:
- Showcase the power of personal engagement; you'll forge strong working relationships and build trust with people at all levels of the organization, adjusting your approach and style to different groups, and quickly develop an understanding of where your key resources lie.
- Articulate your ideas clearly, translating technical concepts into practical language, and persuasively demonstrate how your ideas can positively affect the firm's bottom line.
- Maintain robust attention to detail without losing sight of the big picture and how those details fit in; you'll not only assist in planning our strategic goals but also take an active role in ensuring we achieve them.
If this sounds like the right mix of challenge and opportunity, and you meet the required qualifications, we look forward to hearing from you.
