Senior Internal Auditor

Job description

This role serves as a partner to the Director of Finance within the hotel – providing objective evaluations, process improvement solutions, effective communication, and guidance in recommending effective internal control standards and adhere to compliance regulations.

The individual will work under limited supervision from the Internal Audit Manager with moderate latitude for initiative and independent judgment.
