**Who We Are**

Simon Fraser University is a leading research university, advancing an inclusive and sustainable future. Our purpose – the essence of SFU – is to create and connect knowledge, learning and community for deeper understanding and meaningful impact. We are committed to fostering excellence, innovation, belonging and community in all that we do.

The Internal Audit department supports SFU in achieving its mission by providing independent, objective assurance and advisory services that strengthen governance, risk management, and internal control environments across the university. It operates in alignment with IIA standards and collaborates closely with academic & administrative units, senior leadership, external auditors, regulators, and other oversight bodies.

**About the Role**

The Internal Auditor is a key contributor within SFU’s Internal Audit department and reports directly to the Director, Internal Audit. This role leads and supports risk‑based assurance and advisory engagements that assess the effectiveness of the university’s internal controls, governance practices, and risk management processes. By delivering clear insights and practical, value‑added recommendations, the position strengthens institutional resilience, supports informed decision‑making, and contributes to advancing SFU’s strategic objectives.

The ideal candidate is a results‑driven audit professional with a bachelor’s degree and a CPA, CIA, CISA, or equivalent designation (or near completion). With five years of progressive audit experience, they deliver high‑value insights through strong risk‑based audit and advisory engagements, internal controls evaluation, and governance expertise. They think analytically, communicate with clarity and influence, and build productive relationships across the organization. Highly organized and adaptable, they excel in navigating complex organizational environments and consistently elevate audit quality, strengthen risk management, and support better decision‑making.
