Key Responsibilities:
Role Purpose: A senior practitioner-leader who ensures CDA's audit engine generates high-fidelity intelligence, the analysis brain produces actionable systemic insights, and the capability enabler builds sustainable WOG IT audit capacity. Operates as a systems thinker who sees how audit execution, risk intelligence, policy feedback, and capability uplift form a single integrated loop — and takes accountability for keeping that loop functioning.
PILLAR 1 — AUDIT EXECUTION
- Oversee a portfolio of a minimum of 10 IM8 audits as portfolio manager and 4 audits as audit manager within the fiscal year, ensuring:
- Coverage of critical risk areas informed by threat intelligence and systems criticality , not solely by compliance checklists
- Problem framing at the scoping stage : defining audit objectives around "what could go wrong and why"rather than "what controls exist" , applying a risk-based lens that interrogates root causes and systemic conditions
- Clear, concise articulation of audit findings framed as risk narratives — connecting individual control gaps to broader systemic exposure, downstream dependencies, and potential cascading impact
- Recommendations that address root causes and systemic conditions , not merely surface-level control deficiencies, enhancing the organisation's risk management posture
- Timely issuance of reports as per planned timelines
- Enforce data standardisation and structured taxonomy during fieldwork to ensure findings are "machine-readable" and immediately ingestible by Pillar 2's PRISM engine — understanding that the quality of systemic intelligence is bounded by the quality of data generated at the execution layer.
- Supervise vendor engagement with a dual lens:
- Day-to-day management of outsourced auditors on live engagements
- Performance scoring that feeds Pillar 3's PRIME vendor ecosystem management, ensuring the "Capability Flow" loop (Pillar 3 → Pillar 1) is grounded in real performance data
- Apply threat-informed thinking across the full risk landscape during audit execution — not limited to cyber controls, but extending to:
- Data risk : quality degradation, lineage failures, privacy exposure from dataset combination
- Resiliency risk : failover architectures tested annually but changed continuously
- Platform risk : supply chain vulnerabilities in cloud providers, third-party components, and AI APIs
- Practice risk : the gap between how processes are designed and how they are actually executed under deadline pressure
- Champion experimentation with AI and automation tools during audit execution:
- Actively use and provide feedback on the Unified Audit Automation Product (AI-generated risk-based work programs, Automated Control Testing, Generative Reporting, QA automation)
- Identify where manual audit steps can be replaced or augmented by AI, and work with the Technology & Analytics horizontal to iterate on tooling
- Model comfort with imperfect-but-improving AI outputs, treating tool adoption as an iterative learning process rather than a binary deployment decision
PILLAR 2 — AUDIT ANALYSIS
- Co-lead the annual audit risk assessment and planning process by:
- Applying systems thinking to identify and prioritise key risk trends across WoG — looking beyond individual agency findings to spot interconnected risks, shared vulnerabilities, and common root causes
- Referencing industry threat intelligence, cybersecurity reports, and emerging technology trends to frame audit objectives around where the threat landscape is moving , not where it was
- Developing audit objectives that are explicitly hypothesis-driven : "We believe X risk is systemic because of Y signals — this audit will test that hypothesis"
- Creating audit plans that articulate procedures, timelines, and resources aligned to risk hypotheses
- Co-lead the systemic analysis of IM8 audits by:
- Conducting cross-portfolio analysis of IM8 audits from the preceding fiscal year, using PRISM and other analytical tools to identify patterns, correlations, and systemic root causes that individual audit reports cannot surface
- Framing analysis outputs as actionable intelligence — not merely "here is what we found" but "here is what this means for WoG risk posture, and here is what should change"
- Presenting analysis results to GovTech Seniors with clear articulation of systemic implications and recommended interventions
- Operate the Policy Feedback Loop as a Trusted Advisor :
- Actively provide structured, evidence-based feedback to Policy Developers on whether IM8 policies are working on the ground — where agencies struggle to implement, where policy intent diverges from operational reality, and where controls are producing formal compliance without corresponding assurance
- Frame policy feedback around "why failures occur"(root cause and implementation context), not merely "what failed" (control gaps)
- Contribute to the development or enhancement of IM8 policies, standards, and guidelines for emerging technology domains (OT, SIoT, Resiliency of Digital Services, Cloud adoption, ransomware, dependency risks, AI governance)
- Generate anticipatory intelligence : move beyond retrospective analysis to identify emerging risk patterns before they materialise as audit findings — routing early signals to the right stakeholders (policy teams, agency leadership, Pillar 3 for capability response).
PILLAR 3 — IT AUDIT CAPABILITY DEVELOPMENT
- Co-lead the operationalisation of risk-based auditing (RBA) across WoG by:
- Providing training to WoG auditors and agencies that goes beyond methodology mechanics to build problem-framing and systems-thinking capability — helping auditors ask better questions, not just follow better checklists
- Maintaining and updating audit methodology and processes, ensuring they evolve in response to Pillar 2's systemic intelligence (the "Intelligence Flow": Pillar 2 → Pillar 3)
- Raising awareness through WoG briefings, newsletters, blogs, and community engagement
- Ensure the relevance and currency of IM8 and audit methodology training , aligning content with:
- Current policy requirements
- Systemic risk themes identified by Pillar 2
- Emerging technology domains and threat vectors
- AI tool adoption and automation literacy
- Drive technology-enabled capability uplift :
- Identify and assess areas where technology (including AI, automation, and analytics) can enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the WoG audit process
- Champion the distribution of CDA's Unified Audit Automation Product to Agency IA teams
- Develop and execute implementation plans for viable technology solutions, treating rollout as an experiment-and-iterate process with structured feedback loops
- Stay current with emerging technologies, threat vectors, and trends in the audit and assurance profession — maintaining the practitioner depth required to credibly advise agencies and shape WoG audit direction.
Requirements
- A degree in an IT-related discipline or equivalent qualification
- Professional certifications such as CISA and cloud security certification (e.g., CCSP, CCSK) are essential
- A minimum of 12 years of experience in the ICT field, with at least 10 years in ICT audit, assurance, and/or compliance management
- Demonstrated experience leading complex audit portfolios, conducting fieldwork, and deep understanding of regulatory compliance, governance, and internal controls
- Experience in cyber security, cloud application development, and commercial public cloud platforms is strongly preferred
- Prior experience in application development or cloud-native engineering is advantageous
- Mindset & Capabilities:
- Problem Framing : Demonstrated ability to define audit and assurance problems in terms of "what could go wrong and why"— structuring engagements around risk hypotheses rather than control checklists
- Systems Thinking : Ability to see how individual audit findings connect to systemic conditions, cross-agency patterns, and policy-implementation gaps. Comfortable reasoning about interconnected risks and second-order effects
- Threat-Informed Perspective : Ability to assess risk across the full landscape — cyber, data, resiliency, platform, and practice risk — not limited to traditional IT control domains
- AI & Experimentation Fluency : Demonstrated comfort with AI tools, data analytics, and audit automation. Willingness to experiment with emerging technologies (including generative AI) and iterate on imperfect outputs. Experience deploying or championing AI/automation in audit or assurance contexts is strongly preferred
- Continuous Intelligence Orientation : Ability to shift from episodic assurance (point-in-time audits) toward continuous signal generation — identifying emerging patterns and routing intelligence to the right stakeholders before gaps become findings
- Robust understanding of technology, IT management processes, technology risks, and internal controls
- Strong written and verbal communication and presentation skills — ability to frame complex risk narratives for senior leadership
- Ability to deliver high-quality, thorough work with attention to detail
