    Description

    We are seeking an Internal Auditor to join the Worldwide Amazon Stores Internal Audit team. Stores is one of the largest areas of Amazon's business and continues to grow rapidly, spanning fulfillment centers, supply chain, logistics, transportation, and physical stores. This is a high-visibility opportunity where you will gain broad exposure across the business, contribute to audits that matter, and help drive meaningful improvements. Our team is cross-functional, and you will work on a wide range of operational and technical audits. You should be comfortable working independently on assigned audit work while also being a strong teammate.

    In this role, you will execute audit procedures and testing based on defined audit scope and objectives. You will dig into the details of processes and controls, build an understanding of complex operational and technical environments, and help identify control gaps and process improvement opportunities related to operations, regulatory compliance, organisation, policy, and technology. You will work closely with Audit Managers and senior auditors, and interact with engineers and business leaders to gather information, test controls, and document results clearly and accurately. You will manage your own deliverables across multiple audits at the same time.

    We are not looking for someone who only documents issues. You should be able to clearly explain what you observe, why it matters, and how it impacts the business. You will contribute to well-written findings and reporting, support the prioritisation of issues in line with business objectives and regulatory expectations, and over time build confidence working with stakeholders to align on practical solutions and help verify that issues are addressed appropriately.

    • Works effectively as a contributor within the audit team, collaborating with peers and supporting Audit Managers and senior auditors.
    • Applies analytical thinking, including the use of data analytics and audit tools, to identify control gaps, process inefficiencies, and exceptions in assigned audit areas.
    • Executes defined data analysis procedures to support testing, validate populations, and identify anomalies, escalating questions as needed.
    • Dives deep into assigned processes and controls to ensure testing is complete, accurate, and well documented.
    • Delivers high quality work by validating test results, reconciling data where applicable, and maintaining strong attention to detail.
    • Supports the development of clear and concise workpapers and draft findings that explain the issue and business impact.
    • Escalates issues, roadblocks, and priority conflicts appropriately and seeks direction when needed.
    • Communicates clearly and professionally, both verbally and in writing, with audit team members and stakeholders.
    • Demonstrates curiosity and willingness to learn by building knowledge of audit practices, controls, data analytics, and assigned business domains.

    About Company

    At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

    Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

    It’s Always Day 1
    At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

    Our Leadership Principles
    Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
