Who will you be joining? 

Audit is the home for those who dare to support Allianz Group in achieving their strategic targets. Group Audit supports the Board of Management in the supervision and assessment of the Internal Control System. Furthermore, we coordinate local Internal Audit functions to progressively align audit practices, and to provide assurance to the Board and Audit Committee on a consolidated basis.

The IT Auditor acts as accepted advisor to the business with in-depth experience in execution of internal audits specific to Information Technology (IT) and Information Security (IS). The role is about to advise managers and their departments and add value to the business by identifying business risks at an early stage and helping them to improve the controls. The IT Auditor independently performs internal audits, leads and supervises audit projects, defines risk-based audit areas, and ensures proper documentation. As well s/he leads closing meetings and ensures that the recommendations are implemented adequately. The IT Auditor participates as a specialist in various types of audits, in cooperation with the team and aligned with the Audit Manager.

Strong technical and ethical characteristics are fundamental to audit success. Independent from the job level, an auditor should maintain appropriate technical skills as well as agility and a commitment to continuous learning. The ability to see the big picture is important for each audit.
