Where Data Does More. Join the Snowflake team.

Snowflake is growing and looking for a driven Auditor to join our team. You will report to the Senior Manager, Internal Audit - Business and help with an evolving workload with minimal supervision in a fast-paced environment. Whether it is supporting Snowflake’s Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) program or conducting internal audits, we strive to enhance the effectiveness, efficiency and scalability of the company’s processes, systems, and underlying internal control environment. You will be expected to leverage data to generate powerful insights and solutions, problem solve, collaborate closely with stakeholders, and move fast while keeping attention to detail.

AS A AUDITOR - BUSINESS AND DATA SCIENCE, YOU WILL:

• Execute and support end-to-end operational audits over key business processes to identify areas of risk, evaluate the effectiveness of controls, and identify opportunities for process improvement.

• Participate in risk assessments and the design of audit programs in order to address relevant risks.

• Assist in all phases of internal audits including planning, fieldwork, close meetings, and reporting.

• Design, and develop data analytics to support operational audit activities, including building and automating audit tests, scoping, and developing techniques for continuous monitoring.

• Translate complex findings into clear and compelling visualizations, dashboards, and narratives that empower auditors and business stakeholders to make informed decisions.

• Interact with management and business partners to identify appropriate data sources and data elements required for analytics, applying professional skepticism when assessing data sources and validating the completeness and accuracy of data received.

• Assist and collaborate with audit leadership to manage and evolve our data analytics ecosystem. You will leverage the Snowflake platform to build and maintain models that provide enhanced insight into risks and controls, establish an efficient/automated means to analyze and test large volumes of data for outliers, anomalies, patterns, and trends, and help evaluate the adequacy and effectiveness of process and controls.

• Champion a data-first mindset within the team, research and communicate best practices, identify areas for improvement and opportunities to use data analytics and tools to improve our audit processes, and provide effective recommendations and sound audit conclusions. You will be empowered to challenge the status quo, develop new analytical approaches, and create tools that enhance the audit process.
