Do you know IT systems and security? Do you enjoy helping others? Here’s your chance to apply your skills at a world-class institution. We’re looking for a dynamic personality who can foster strong relationships with our clients. We need an individual who can roll-up their sleeves and figure things out.

Here’s the best part: you’ll interact with everyone on campus – from Athletics to Research, from Finance to Operations, every day will bring a new and interesting challenge.

What would you do each day? A successful Sr. IT Audit Consultant will utilize their specialized knowledge of IT systems and security to implement an audit testing plan designed to identify potential vulnerabilities in the University’s network control environment.

• Ability to obtain security clearance as necessary.
