Internal Audit Co-op

Join our Internal Audit team as a Co-op and gain hands-on experience at the intersection of risk, controls, and emerging technology. In this role, you’ll partner with experienced auditors to evaluate the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls across the enterprise while also contributing to a strategic initiative to build out artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities within the audit function. You’ll help shape how the department leverages AI to enhance audit testing, risk assessment, and continuous monitoring — gaining exposure to both traditional internal audit methodology and the cutting-edge tools redefining the profession. This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated student to build a foundation in audit, risk, and compliance while developing practical skills in AI-enabled process automation and analytics.
