We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Associate to join our Internal Audit function. Reporting directly to the Head of Internal Audit, you will support the planning, execution, and reporting of audits across the firm, working closely with senior team members while progressively taking on greater ownership of audit work. This is a unique opportunity to join a growing internal audit function at a dynamic, multi-jurisdictional financial services firm, with significant room for professional growth and development.

• Execute audit fieldwork, including walkthroughs, control testing, and documentation of workpapers, under the guidance of senior team members.

• Support the planning and scoping of audits, and contribute to the drafting of audit reports and findings.

• Evaluate the adequacy and effectiveness of internal controls, processes, and systems in accordance with the 2024 IIA Global Internal Audit Standards.

• Build and maintain effective working relationships with stakeholders to promote audit engagement and collaboration.

• Identify risks, control weaknesses, and improvement opportunities, and communicate them clearly to the audit team and stakeholders.

• Contribute to the continuous enhancement of audit methodology, tools, and best practices within the function.

• Support continuous monitoring of the business and assist in exploring opportunities to automate monitoring processes.

• Assist with advisory reviews, special projects, and regulatory-related initiatives as required.

Clear Street's Internal Audit function is a modern, technology-enabled assurance team providing independent coverage across the firm's multi-jurisdictional footprint. As a member of a lean, growing team, you'll have direct exposure to senior leadership and the full audit lifecycle — from risk assessment and planning through fieldwork and reporting — across risk, compliance, operations, finance, and technology. We combine traditional audit rigor with a data-driven approach, leveraging automation and continuous monitoring to keep pace with a cloud-native, fast-moving business.

• 4–6 years of relevant experience in internal audit, risk management, external audit, or related areas.

• Experience within a financial services firm; exposure to Broker-Dealer or Swap Dealer environments is a plus.

• Working knowledge of one or more areas such as Compliance, Risk Management, Operations, or Finance.

• Familiarity with the SOX framework and internal controls testing is preferred.

• Strong analytical skills with a data-oriented mindset.

• Curious, collaborative, and risk-aware approach to problem solving.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to build trust across the organization.

• Good organizational and project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple assignments and deadlines.

• Certifications (preferred or in progress): CIA, CPA, CFA, FRM, CISA.
