  • Participate in the development and execution of Internal Audit plans grounded in risk assessment, regulatory frameworks, and CloudWalk’s evolving technological landscape.
  • Perform and support audits across a range of domains—including technology environments, IT general controls (ITGC), cybersecurity, data governance, business processes, operational workflows, and risk management frameworks.
  • Document, analyze, and report audit findings, highlighting control deficiencies, risk exposures, and opportunities for automation, efficiency, and process improvement.
  • Offer practical, actionable recommendations and partner with teams to develop and monitor remediation plans, ensuring timely and effective implementation.
  • Identify emerging risks related to new products, technologies, market shifts, and regulatory evolution, translating them into audit considerations and strategic insights.
  • Support the implementation of internal controls, governance practices, and continuous monitoring routines through data-driven approaches and automation.
  • Maintain strong relationships with stakeholders across the company, promoting a culture of transparency, control awareness, and continuous improvement.

What You Need To Succeed

• • A university degree in a relevant field and a solid foundation in internal audit, risk management, controls, or related disciplines.
  • Experience working with financial institutions, payment institutions, or other regulated entities — with a generalist profile able to navigate tech, ops, risk, and business topics.
  • Strong interest in technology, automation, data analysis, and modern audit tools — you enjoy connecting dots between systems, processes, and controls.
  • Familiarity with audit and risk frameworks such as IIA standards, COSO, COBIT, ITIL, and cybersecurity best practices.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills, enabling you to work closely with engineering, product, technology, and business teams.
  • Technical fluency to understand complex environments, challenge assumptions, and contribute to building a resilient control ecosystem.
  • Advanced English and fluency in Portuguese.

Nice to Have:

• • Experience with cloud environments, DevOps practices, or security frameworks (ISO 27001, NIST, etc.).
  • Experience in building or scaling audit functions from early stages.
  • Exposure to automated controls testing, continuous auditing, or AI-driven audit techniques.
