Working in the Internal Audit team is a unique chance to acquire a transversal understanding of the Bank and to work in an environment that allows you to surpass yourself while creating strong relationships with partners from several sectors.

It means working in complicity, agility, and transparency, having the power to act and being accountable for the results. It means being part of a dynamic and innovative team where management practices promote a good work-life balance.

  • Governance and management of business continuity, operational risks, model risks and climate risk
  • Governance of global and variable compensation
  • Human risk governance, talent management, culture and inclusion & diversity
As a lead auditor, you will be responsible for leading some of these engagements with a team of auditors and for contributing to larger mandates

Your role:

  • Understand the Bank's strategic and business objectives and develop an overview of governance and risk management mechanisms across the Bank (committees, policies, roles and responsibilities, practices, oversight and accountability)
  • Establish the audit strategy to assess the maturity and effectiveness of governance and nonfinancial risk management mechanisms and, where applicable, compliance with regulatory requirements, while taking into account risk appetite
  • Maintain a relationship of trust with partners from other sectors
  • Analyze the problems encountered, identify the root causes in cooperation with relevant partners and support them in the identification of innovative and realistic solutions to eliminate the causes of the problem
  • Present your conclusions and recommendations to the relevant executives and managers and write the audit or advice report or contribute to its drafting for larger mandates


We want to contribute to your quality of life by offering you as much flexibility as possible in your work.

For example, we offer hybrid work (remote and in the office), work schedule arrangements to help you achieve work/life balance and flexible leave that you can take when it's important to you.


Competencies required:

  • Bachelor's degree related to the industry and ten (10) years of relevant experience or a Master's degree related to the industry and seven (7) years of relevant experience
  • A minimum of three (3) years of experience in auditing or consulting on topics related to corporate governance mechanisms and nonfinancial risk governance and management and or nonfinancial risk management

  • Demonstrated relational leadership and ability to ensure effective partnership with stakeholders as well as capacity to persuade partners
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills, ability to simplify and synthesize information
  • Agile, resultsoriented, and able to work in a multidisciplinary team of experts
  • Ability to solve complex problems and demonstrate innovation
  • Curiosity and strong learning capacity
  • Bilingualism (English and French) required, as you will frequently interact with service providers or partners who speak a language other than French

Your benefits:


In addition to competitive compensation, upon hiring you'll be eligible for a wide range of flexible benefits to help promote your wellbeing and that of your family.
