Our group has unique insight on the financial industry and its products and operations. We’re looking for detail-oriented team players who have an interest in financial markets and want to gain insight into the firm’s operations and control processes.

As the third line of defense, Internal Audit’s (IA) mission is to independently assess the firm’s overall control environment, including the firm’s governance processes and controls, and risk management and capital and anti-financial crime frameworks. In doing so, IA:

IA supports the Board of Directors’ Audit Committee and senior firm leadership in fulfilling their oversight roles by independently assessing the firm’s internal control structure, raising awareness of control risk, providing advice to management in developing control solutions, and monitoring the implementation of management’s control measures. Global Banking and Markets Audit provides audit coverage for the firm’s Global Banking and Markets Division and related supporting control functions such as Operations, Engineering, Product Control and Compliance. 

Who We Look For
Goldman Sachs Internal Auditors demonstrate a strong risk and control mindset, are detail oriented, possess curiosity and sound judgment, and are able to adapt to a dynamic risk and regulatory landscape.  We look for individuals who can collaborate across global teams, foster lasting stakeholder relationships and can drive creative solutions to enhance audit techniques.
