We’re looking for a talented technology auditor to join JPMorganChase Internal Audit in Europe, the Middle East and Africa and help strengthen governance and operational excellence. Internal Audit is an independent function that enhances and protects the firm by providing risk-based, objective assurance, advice, and insight. Our global team includes more than 1,200 professionals across more than 20 countries, working together to deliver impact at scale.
