About the role

Auditing professional focused on Information Technology and Security within Column’s banking and software environment, embedding with cross-functional teams to assess risk and ensure governance as Column scales a nationally chartered bank.

Responsibilities

  • Design, lead, and execute end-to-end audits — scoping, fieldwork, reporting, issue follow-up — across core banking, technology, compliance, fintech partnerships, lending, payments, cards, and API infrastructure. Report findings straight to senior leadership.
  • Own a risk-based audit plan built for what Column actually is: a software company running a regulated bank. Evolve it as we grow.
  • Partner directly with Engineering and Information Security to audit SDLC, data protection, IAM, cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, AWS, and how AI is used in our development process.
  • Audit third-party risk management and fintech partner oversight against regulatory expectations.
  • Use data analytics and AI to surface emerging risks, automate testing, and make audit faster and more efficient.
  • Evaluate risk and control effectiveness across IT/IS, BSA/AML, sanctions, fair lending, consumer protection, privacy, and ALM/interest rate risk — grounded in NIST and regulatory expectations from the OCC, FRB, and FDIC.
  • Manage third-party audit staff to keep delivery sharp and on time.
  • Partner with the Head of Internal Audit level up the function itself: Audit Committee materials, QA, risk assessment, metrics.

Qualifications

  • 5-10 years of audit, risk, or compliance experience in banking, fintech, consulting, or technology
  • Real technology audit depth — IT risk, cybersecurity, modern software development, including how AI is changing the dev process
  • Hands-on audit ability in a cloud-native environment: AWS IAM, CI/CD, infrastructure as code (Terraform), secrets management
  • Comfortable pulling and interpreting data straight from CloudTrail, Datadog, and Okta — via API or query, not just a dashboard
  • Working knowledge of BSA/AML, sanctions (KYC, CDD, SAR, OFAC), and core banking regulation (OCC, FRB)
  • You build trust fast — with engineers, senior leadership, and regulators
  • CISA, CISSP, CIA, CISM, or CRISC certifications a plus
