You will be required to stay current on the evolving ESG industry and regulatory activities and guidelines, and understand and interpret how they impact the company's risk and control framework.

Through collaboration with other team members, you will assist in the end-to-end execution of audit engagements and gain exposure to senior management across Northern Trust. In this role, you will make critical recommendations to enterprise-wide leadership on ESG strategy and procedures, partnering closely with internal stakeholders to understand their priorities, and balancing growth against risk. Success is measured through the quality of the documentation, integrity of the assessment, timeliness of the deliveries, and your ability to foster relationships both internally in the audit department and with key stakeholders.

  1. Contribute to the evolution of the ESG internal audit strategy, including risk assessment and coverage strategy
  2. Coordinate and collaborate with the global ESG team on the identification of risks and execution of audits in line with the internal plan
  3. Provide strategic thinking, thought leadership, and guidance on identifying key risks and assessing the design and operating effectiveness of the controls supporting ESG activities
  4. Plan, oversee, and direct regulatory ESG activities as required
  5. Establish strong working relationships and communications with key ESG stakeholders
  6. Maintain active involvement with, and present at, executive, oversight, and steering committees, as required
  7. Ensure that all deliverables are issued accurately, completely, and timely - both internal and external to Audit Services
  8. Monitor audit progress and budgets; escalate significant budget variances as needed
  9. Review work of junior members, including work paper documentation, findings, and recommendations, as well as the final report, while ensuring that auditing standards and department methodology expectations have been met
  10. Stay abreast and maintain knowledge of regulatory developments and industry trends, and assist with continuous monitoring and knowledge sharing efforts
  11. Assist in preparation of presentations to the Board, Audit Committee, and senior management, as required
  12. Assist with ad hoc projects, as necessary
Requirements:

  • Proven ESG subject matter expertise from the 1st, 2nd, and/or 3rd lines (Business, Risk/Compliance, Audit)
  • Strong analytical, leadership, and organizational skills
  • An ability to work in a fast-paced environment as part of a global audit team across multiple time zones and jurisdictions
  • Being passionate about building trusted relationships
  • A College or University degree
Preferred Qualifications:

  • Knowledge of auditing techniques and approaches in the financial services industries
  • Professional certifications (e.g., ACAMS, CPA, CIA, ACA, ACCA)
Working with Us:

As a Northern Trust partner, you will be part of a flexible and collaborative work culture in an organization where financial strength and stability is an asset that emboldens us to explore new ideas.
