- Support clients in strengthening transparency, accountability, and control oversight mechanisms
- Ensure alignment with QHSE (Quality Health Safety and Environment), Business Continuity, Information Security, Privacy, Risk, and Governance standards where relevant
Market Evangelism & Thought Leadership
- Act as an advocate for data-driven and AI-enabled audit transformation
- Monitor regulatory developments and supervisory expectations impacting internal audit and assurance functions
- Develop thought leadership content, executive briefings, and industry insights
- Represent Presight in industry forums, client roundtables, and strategic engagements
Qualifications
