The Opportunity:
As a Technology Audit Leader, you will help shape and advance Booz Allen’s internal technology audit capability, bringing a modern, forward-looking approach to building and executing a risk-based audit strategy across cybersecurity, cloud environments, data platforms, systems architecture, software development, and operational resilience. You will mentor teammates by providing day-to-day technical input that strengthens their understanding of IT controls, emerging technologies, and contemporary audit methodologies that leverage analytics, automation, and AI to enhance risk assessments.
In this role, you will coordinate and oversee risk-based audit and control monitoring activities across complex technical environments to identify material risks instead of focusing on low-value compliance issues. You’ll analyze system configurations, process flows, security architectures, and automated controls, reaching well-supported conclusions with the ability to explain complex technical issues to executives. You will partner with technology leaders, cybersecurity teams, engineering groups, and first-line operators to build trusted relationships and evaluate control effectiveness, identify gaps, recommend improvements, and guide the development of remediation and enhanced control practices.
You will also help build advanced audit capabilities that employ data analytics, automation, and AI to improve audit scoping, sampling, testing depth, and reporting clarity. By staying current on emerging threats, evolving technologies, and industry developments, you will ensure Booz Allen’s audit approach remains innovative, informed, and strategically aligned.
