Senior Internal Auditor

South Bay / Greater Los Angeles | On-site
$80,000–$110,000 base + Bonus

Our team at AG Talent Alliance Group is partnering with a confidential client in the manufacturing and consumer products space to identify a Senior Internal Auditor. This is a hands-on opportunity for someone who enjoys owning audits from start to finish, working directly with business leaders, and gaining exposure across operational, financial, compliance, and technology-related risks.

The organization has both U.S. and international operations, creating an opportunity to work across different functions, cultures, and business environments rather than being limited to a narrowly defined audit area.

THE OPPORTUNITY

This role is designed for an auditor who can operate with a high degree of independence. You will be responsible for taking engagements from initial scoping and planning through fieldwork, reporting, and remediation follow-up.

The internal audit environment is relatively lean, so the team is looking for someone who is comfortable being hands-on and resourceful, rather than relying on a large team or heavily established processes. The right person will know how to ask the right questions, work through ambiguity, build relationships with stakeholders, and translate audit observations into practical business recommendations.

The role reports to an Internal Audit Manager and provides exposure to leaders across U.S. and international operations.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

  • Independently plan and execute risk-based operational, financial, compliance, and IT-related audits.
  • Own engagements from scope development and audit planning through testing, documentation, reporting, and follow-up.
  • Interview business stakeholders, analyze data, evaluate controls, and maintain clear, supportable workpapers.
  • Assess governance, risk management, internal controls, and business processes while identifying root causes behind issues.
  • Develop practical recommendations that improve controls and operations rather than simply identifying exceptions.
  • Communicate audit results clearly to management and work with stakeholders to establish remediation plans and timelines.
  • Track open findings and validate that corrective actions have been implemented sustainably.
  • Partner with internal controls and compliance teams on control testing and related initiatives.
  • Support special reviews, investigations, emerging-risk assessments, and data-analytics projects as needed.
  • Participate in occasional manufacturing, inventory, and international site visits.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Required

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or a related discipline.
  • 4+ years of progressive audit or risk experience, which may include internal audit, public accounting/external audit, SOX/internal controls, or a related assurance function.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead an audit engagement end-to-end with limited oversight.
  • Broad audit exposure across areas such as operational, financial, compliance, or internal controls.
  • Some exposure to IT-related risks or IT audit work. The client is not looking for a pure IT auditor, but the ability to understand and evaluate technology-related controls is important.
  • Strong analytical judgment and the ability to work through unfamiliar or evolving situations.
  • Clear written and verbal English communication skills, including the ability to present evidence-based conclusions to stakeholders.
  • Spanish proficiency, particularly for collaboration with international stakeholders.
  • Ability to work effectively across functions and cultures.
  • Ability to work primarily on-site and travel as required (Opportunity for International Travel!).

Strongly Preferred

  • Experience within manufacturing, consumer products, or a related operating environment.
  • Experience with SOX or similar internal-control frameworks.
  • CIA, CPA, or another relevant professional certification, including candidates actively pursuing certification.
  • Experience using advanced Excel, Power BI, or other audit/data-analytics tools.

WHY THIS ROLE MAY BE WORTH A CONVERSATION

  • Real audit ownership. You will not simply execute testing assigned by someone else. The role is intended to own engagements from planning through reporting.
  • Broader experience. The audit scope spans operational, financial, compliance, internal-control, and technology-related areas.
  • International exposure. You will collaborate with stakeholders across U.S. and international operations.
  • Opportunity to influence the function. This is a lean environment where good judgment, initiative, and practical recommendations can have meaningful visibility.
  • Strong fit for a hands-on auditor. The client values people who are comfortable digging into the details while still communicating effectively with management.
