The individual will be based out in Hong Kong and work under limited supervision from the Internal Audit Manager with moderate latitude for initiative and independent judgment.

• Developing recommendations using independent judgment concerning areas being reviewed.
• Communicating the results of audit and consulting projects via written reports and oral presentations to senior-level management.
• Identify opportunities to increase the use of data analytics in audit testing procedures. 
• Represent Internal Audit with various organizational project teams. Develop and maintain productive relationships throughout the company through individual contacts and meetings.
• Up to 70% travel but may change with business conditions and requirement
