Senior Internal Auditor
Yelp
Summary
Our Internal Audit team (or "YAR" as we call it, for Yelp Assessment of Risk) is looking for a Senior Internal Auditor to support our Yelp’s SOX Compliance program. The position reports to the Associate Director, Internal Audit.
Yelp is in that sweet ‘Goldilocks’ spot of being a company that’s not too big or too small. Here you will have your voice and recommendations heard, contributing process and control enhancements that will impact the business in the near term and future. We're looking for an individual who brings enthusiasm and curiosity to the role. YAR fosters a culture where auditors are not looked upon as “scary”’ - people here will be receptive to your ideas! If you are interested in moving the bar instead of the bar moving you, then we'd like to connect!
A bit about us:
The YAR team was founded in 2014. Our team culture is driven by our values: we’re a dynamic and collaborative team that values individual authenticity and encourages the development of creative solutions to business challenges. Our team works hard, but also has diverse interests outside of work.. We embrace the Yelp core value of "Be Unboring!"
