## Description

You will join Synopsys, the leader in engineering solutions from silicon to systems, enabling customers to rapidly innovate AI-powered products.

As a Senior Staff IT Audit - Auditor Lead, you have spent years in the details of IT systems, not just reading documentation but digging into logs, configurations, and control environments to understand what is really happening versus what someone says is happening.

**What You'll Be Doing**

- Plan and execute IT audits across infrastructure, applications, and security controls, working directly with system owners and IT teams to assess design and operating effectiveness

- Lead Risk Assessments that inform the annual IT audit plan, identifying where the company's technology exposure sits and what needs attention this year

- Develop and execute audits focused on technologies, including SAP and Oracle ERP, UNIX & Windows environments, cloud computing, cybersecurity, privacy, and emerging technologies (AI/ML)

- Test SOX General IT Controls and IT Application Controls, including evaluating access controls, change management, segregation of duties, and data integrity controls, documenting findings and working with process owners to drive remediation

- Evaluate IT processes and controls against regulatory requirements, internal policies, and frameworks like COBIT and NIST

- Prepare audit reports and present findings to senior management, translating technical issues into business risk language that drives action

- Collaborate with Information Security, IT Operations, and business teams to ensure audit coverage aligns with the company's evolving risk landscape

**The Impact You Will Have**

- Reduce the company's exposure to IT and security risk by identifying control gaps before they become incidents

- Strengthen Synopsys' compliance posture with SOX, regulatory requirements, and internal governance standards

- Provide leadership with clear, actionable insights into where IT risk sits and what needs to be addressed

- Improve the quality and reliability of IT controls across ERP, infrastructure, and application environments

- Help shape the IT audit strategy by contributing to risk-based planning and audit methodology development

- Build trust with IT and business teams by conducting audits that are rigorous, fair, and focused on real risk

- Support continuous improvement of IT governance and control frameworks across a global technology company

**What You'll Need**

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Science, IT, or a related field

- 5+ years of hands-on experience planning and executing IT audits or Information Security audits, including risk assessment and audit reporting

- Working knowledge of SAP and Oracle ERP systems, particularly around access controls, change management, and application-level controls

- Experience applying risk frameworks such as COBIT, NIST, or similar in audit planning and execution

- Strong analytical skills to assess technology controls, identify gaps, and evaluate risk in complex IT environments

- Experience testing SOX General IT Controls and IT Application Controls is a strong plus

- Professional certifications such as CISA, CIA, or CISSP are highly valued

**Who You Are**

- You can walk into a technical conversation about database permissions or network segmentation and walk out with a clear picture of what the risk is

- You write audit findings that are specific, fair, and focused on what matters, not boilerplate language that gets ignored

- You are organized enough to manage multiple audits at once and disciplined enough to document your work clearly and completely

- You work well across teams, building credibility with IT professionals and business stakeholders without needing to be the loudest voice in the room

- You stay current on IT risk, security trends, and regulatory changes because you know that what mattered last year may not be the right focus this year
