Waterloo, Canada Sun Life Full time

Job Description

:

Our team members are important to us, and we understand that each person’s needs and circumstances are unique. While this role is based in Toronto or Waterloo, we provide flexibility to work virtually, in the office, or a combination of the two, based on what works for you and the work you are completing each day. Most team members currently work virtually, coming into the office occasionally on key days to connect in person and/or as a team. Daily work hours also provide some flexibility for start and finish times as well as occasional accommodations that allow for other commitments that are important for you that may take you away from work during core business hours. In addition, Internal audit fully participates in, and supports, Sun Life’s quinquennial sabbatical program where, starting with your 5th work anniversary and repeating every five years after, you can take a 3-6 week sabbatical that includes an additional paid week off.

This is an opportunity to join an engaged, inclusive, and collaborative team that is focused on individual development, building networks, and making an impact within the business. In this role, you will report to the Director, Internal Audit, and play a key role in the day-to-day execution of audit activities within the Canada business. You will have an opportunity to learn about Canada’s asset management, group retirement, and insurance businesses.

This role is focused on assisting and executing audits to evaluate internal controls, making recommendations regarding control deficiencies, and identifying areas of opportunity for improvement. Through audit work, you will have the opportunity to develop competencies around influencing various levels of management, project management, and building client relationships across the organization.

What will you do?

Work with the Manager, Director, and the AVP – Internal Audit on planning, executing and reporting audit work

Execute multiple complex high profile audit engagements, ensuring proper coverage and consideration of auditing principles, practice and assigned time/budget

Actively build and manage relationships with business partners

Identify opportunities to automate testing using Data Analytics and toolsets deployed internally (CAAT and analytical tools) or through the assessment of other monitoring/analytic tools available

Stay up-to-date on current best practices in risk management and control assessment; acquiring and sharing information related to industry thought leadership and best practices

What do you need to succeed?

University degree in accounting, finance or business

Professional audit designation (e.g. CPA, CIA, CRMA, CISA)

4 years of audit experience in the financial services industry or equivalent

Proven ability to work in multiple tasks/projects

Ability to understand complex business processes and identify key risks and controls
