Lead and execute audit engagements end to end — from planning and scoping through fieldwork, reporting, and closure — across underwriting, claims, finance, sales, IT etc.

Assess the design and operational effectiveness of internal controls, risk management practices, and governance frameworks; identify root causes and agree on practical, risk-based improvements with management.

Maintain a continuous dialogue with business stakeholders on the risk landscape and monitor the timely and effective remediation of open issues.
Drive initiatives to improve the audit function — digitalization, analytics tooling, methodology enhancements — and contribute to the annual audit planning and risk assessment.
