Join the Professional Practices Group (PPG) as an Audit Director and help shape the strategic direction of Fidelity's audit methodology, quality framework, and governance practices. This senior leadership role oversees several enterprise-critical workstreams that strengthen audit execution, enhance risk management, and influence senior decision-making across the organization. The position drives high-impact Audit Committee and Board reporting, provides executive oversight of the quality assurance and improvement program (QAIP), and leads the integration of strategic enhancements into FCA's methodologies, tools, and processes.

Key responsibilities include:
  • Partnering with senior audit executives to develop strategic, data-driven reporting for the Audit Committee, Board, and executive leadership.
  • Serving as a senior subject matter expert for complex audit methodology and professional practices inquires.
  • Leading the advancement of FCA's audit methodology, incorporating regulatory expectations, leading practices, and firmwide risk management developments.
  • Overseeing the QAIP program end-to-end, including root-cause analysis, trend identification, corrective action oversight, and integration of results into methodology, guidance, and training.
  • Driving continuous improvement using data analytics, automation, and technology-enabled solutions to enhance quality, consistency, and efficiency.
  • Providing senior-level support to audit teams, shaping standards and guidance to reduce recurring inquiries.
  • Building strong partnerships across Fidelity to align audit practices with enterprise risk management strategies, regulatory expectations, and business priorities.
  • Leading strategic and cross-functional initiatives that support innovation, regulatory change, workforce enablement, and FCA operating model enhancements.

The Expertise and Skills you Bring

It calls for the ability to manage complex initiatives, influence across levels, and deliver high-quality outcomes in a dynamic environment. Strong analytical thinking, clear communication, and effective relationship management are essential. The position demands high standards for quality, accountability, and continuous improvement.
