The successful candidate will be responsible for leading audits that assess the governance, protection, and use of data within the organization. This includes designing and executing audit strategies for data governance frameworks, quality controls, and lifecycle practices.

Familiarity with data risk tools and technologies is essential, and a strong grasp of audit methodology, risk assessment techniques, and control testing strategies is expected. The role demands excellent communication, project management, and leadership skills, as well as the ability to influence across all levels of the organization.
