Department Overview

The Internal Audit Department provides independent, objective assurance to PG&E Corporation, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (each a Company and, collectively, the Companies), and their subsidiaries regarding the adequacy of processes and controls used to manage business risk.

Position Summary

Reporting to the Director of Internal Audit, the Senior IT Auditor is responsible for evaluating technology and business‑related controls across IT‑focused and integrated audits, performing control advisory engagements, and identifying opportunities to enhance processes and strengthen the internal control environment.

You will lead audit engagements of broad scope and moderate to high complexity, operating effectively within a collaborative team environment. This role requires strong professional judgment, disciplined execution, and the ability to independently plan, document, and deliver risk‑based audits while partnering closely with management and audit leadership.

You will bring demonstrated experience in IT auditing, a strong understanding of internal control frameworks, and the ability to apply sound analytical judgment. This role requires strong client‑facing skills, professional skepticism, and the ability to communicate risk insights clearly and effectively to stakeholders.

The role is hybrid working from your remote office and in-person at the Oakland General Office based on business needs or company requirements.

Job Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include:

• Lead end‑to‑end audit engagements, establishing clear expectations for audit objectives, scope, timing, key stakeholders, and deliverables.
• Develop and execute risk‑based audit programs, including performing risk assessments and identifying key processes and controls to support moderately complex, higher‑risk audits, with periodic guidance from the Director and Principals.
• Apply independent judgment and analytical thinking to solve problems of limited to moderate complexity, bringing a fresh perspective to existing processes and control solutions.

• Plan, manage, and monitor audit workstreams to achieve assigned objectives with minimal supervisory input, ensuring timely delivery, efficient resource utilization, and adherence to audit standards, while proactively adjusting work plans as needed.

• Identify control gaps and emerging risks, partner with management to develop practical and sustainable action plans, and track audit issue status through remediation and closure.
• Maintain accurate and timely tracking of audit issues, including status updates, validation activities, and escalation of overdue or higher‑risk items as appropriate.
• Prepare, review, and maintain complete and well‑documented audit workpapers, ensuring audit conclusions are clearly supported, aligned with Internal Audit methodology, and meet quality and professional standards.
• Contribute to the development of the annual audit plan by providing risk insights, emerging issue identification, and audit coverage recommendations.
• Mentor and support the development of Internal Audit team members, fostering technical growth, audit quality, and a culture of continuous improvement.
