About this role

Internal Audit - Technology Audit Associate, Atlanta or New York

Internal Audit's primary mission is to provide assurance to the Board of Directors and Executive Management that BlackRock's businesses are well managed and meeting strategic, operational and risk management objectives. The team engages with senior leaders and all of BlackRock's individual business units globally to understand and advise on the risks in their business, evaluate the effectiveness of key processes and assist in the design of best practices that can improve their results. Internal Audit reports directly to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, and our work builds confidence that BlackRock will meet its obligations to clients, shareholders, employees and other stakeholders.

Our Audit Teams "At a Glance"

Business Audit
With teams in the US, Europe, and Asia, the Business Audit Team performs audits covering all BlackRock business units, including investment and asset management, risk management, operations, finance, and legal and compliance.

Technology Audit
The Technology Audit Team, also in the US, Europe and Asia, performs design review and testing related to technology controls across application systems and infrastructure components such as databases, operating systems, security tools and messaging platforms.

SAO (Strategy, Analytics & Operations)

Supporting the entire Audit department is the Strategy, Analytics and Operations team. There are two main functions:

Strategy and Operations: This group is responsible for coordinating activities and communication across the global team, managing and driving the strategic planning process, implementing process innovations, and ensuring appropriate policies/methodology and procedures are in place. The SAO team plays a meaningful part in the development and continuous improvement of the department. The team maintains independence from the other audit teams by reporting directly to the Global Head of Audit and does not participate in traditional audit reviews or issues management.

Data Analytics (DA): This team leverages BlackRock data and various data science, business intelligence, and analytics methods to support the activities of the audit department. The DA team participates in both business and technology audit execution, builds and maintains an inventory of self-service tools for the auditors, supports the risk assessment and annual planning process, and helps manage the department's operations through the development of impactful management information. The DA team is a driver of innovation for the department and helps auditors gain efficiencies and insights through the work that they do.

Role Description

The Technology Audit Associate will be responsible for reviewing, testing and assessing the effectiveness of technology controls in business-integrated audits in which there is close interaction between business and technology partners. Through both conceptual and hands-on means, the Technology Audit Associate will provide clear illustrations of how different technologies and related processes function within their business context to support and deliver against the firm's business agenda.

In addition to supporting business-integrated audits, this role will participate in technology-led audits across all aspects of information technology including platforms, data and AI, information security and enterprise services.

Skills/Qualifications
  • Strong experience (generally 4-8 years) in the fields of technology audit, technology risk management and/or information technology.
  • Understanding of operating systems, databases, networks, messaging platforms and other areas of technology operations.
  • Understanding of asset management products and business processes preferable.
  • Strong organizational and presentation skills with ability to multi-task in a fast-paced environment.
  • Excellent communication (verbal, written, and listening) and interpersonal skills with a strong emphasis on audit issue and report writing and stakeholder presentation skills.
  • BA/BS is required, preferably in computer science, management information systems, engineering or a related technology field.
  • Professional certifications such as CISA, CISM, CRISC, CISSP and CEH.


Our benefits

To help you stay energized, engaged and inspired, we offer a wide range of benefits including a strong retirement plan, tuition reimbursement, comprehensive healthcare, support for working parents and Flexible Time Off (FTO) so you can relax, recharge and be there for the people you care about.

Our hybrid work pilot

BlackRock's current hybrid work pilot is designed to help you experience the best of both worlds: the opportunity to connect with colleagues in person and the flexibility to work remotely, with greater time to focus on what's important to you. In line with local health guidance and regulations, employees are generally expected to work 3 days in the office and 2 days from home (on average) each week. For some business groups, more time may be required in the office, while greater flexibility may be in place for others. Our "One BlackRock" culture means you'll be supported to collaborate with your new colleagues while bringing your full self to work - wherever you are.

The health, safety and well-being of our people will always be our top priorities; we will continue to monitor local conditions and health advisories in making decisions about our work environments.
