What You’ll Do

Teradata is seeking a thoughtful, curious, and experienced Senior Risk & Assurance Auditor to join our global Enterprise Risk and Assurance Services team. This role is designed for a risk-minded professional who enjoys evaluating how business processes, governance practices, data, and controls work together to support effective decision-making and responsible growth.

This is not primarily SOX-only or financial statement audit role. The successful candidate will help plan and execute risk-based operational audits, enterprise risk assessments, advisory reviews, and data-enabled assurance activities across business functions, regions, and strategic risk areas.

The role is well suited for someone who can move comfortably between detailed assurance execution and broader risk analysis — connecting evidence, process performance, stakeholder behavior, and business impact into clear insights that leadership can act on.

• Plan and execute risk-based operational audits, advisory reviews, and enterprise risk assessments across global business processes, functions, and strategic initiatives.
• Evaluate the design and operating effectiveness of business processes, governance routines, risk responses, and internal controls.
• Support ERAS in assessing key enterprise risks, including operational execution, third-party risk, compliance, regulatory readiness, process transformation, data governance, and emerging business risks.
• Use data analytics, process mapping, benchmarking, and trend analysis to identify risk indicators, control gaps, process inefficiencies, and opportunities for improvement.
• Translate audit and assessment results into clear, concise, leadership-ready insights, including practical recommendations that address root cause and business impact.
• Partner with stakeholders across Finance, People, Legal, Compliance, Procurement, Operations, IT, and other functions to understand risk drivers and evaluate whether risk responses are effective.
• Develop high-quality audit workpapers, risk assessments, testing documentation, and reporting materials in alignment with professional standards.
• Support management action plan development and follow-up activities by evaluating whether remediation actions address the underlying risk.
• Contribute to ERAS continuous improvement efforts, including audit methodology enhancements, risk dashboarding, data analytics routines, reporting templates, and assurance planning.
• Bring a consultative mindset while maintaining independence, professional skepticism, and objective judgment.

Who You’ll Work With

The team provides independent assurance and practical insight across financial, operational, compliance, technology, and strategic risk areas. This role offers exposure to senior leaders, global processes, emerging risks, and meaningful opportunities to shape how risk assurance is delivered in a complex, data-driven business environment.

What Makes You a Qualified Candidate

We are looking for a candidate who brings more than audit execution capability. The ideal candidate understands how organizations operate, how risks emerge, and how assurance work can help leaders make better decisions.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in internal audit, enterprise risk management, operational risk, risk advisory, compliance assurance, business process reviews, or related risk/control disciplines.
• Experience leading or executing operational audits, risk assessments, process reviews, compliance assessments, or advisory engagements.
• Strong understanding of risk management, governance, internal controls, and business process improvement.
• Ability to assess root cause, business impact, and risk severity — not just document control exceptions.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce clear executive-level reporting.
• Experience working with cross-functional stakeholders and influencing action without direct authority.
• Strong analytical skills, including the ability to interpret data, identify patterns, and convert findings into actionable insights.
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, Risk Management, Data Analytics, Information Systems, or a related field.

What You’ll Bring

• Experience with enterprise risk management programs, operational audits, regulatory readiness assessments, third-party risk management, ESG/regulatory risk, fraud risk, compliance programs, or transformation risk.
• Experience using data analytics tools such as Excel, Power BI, Tableau, SQL, Alteryx, Python, or similar tools.
• Professional certification such as CIA, CRMA, CISA, CPA, CFE, or related credential.
• Experience in a global technology, SaaS, cloud, data, or software company.
• Familiarity with IIA Standards, COSO, ISO, NIST, DOJ compliance program expectations, or other governance/risk frameworks.
• Experience preparing materials for senior leadership, executive committees, audit committees, or risk committees.
