Lead Auditor

What you'll be responsible for

This role sits within our Citation Certification audit team and reports to our Operations Manager. Here's what your days will look like:

• Leading complex, multi-scheme audits across ISMS, QMS, OHS and EMS, from planning through to close-out
• Acting as our technical lead on ISO 27001 and ISO 42001, and helping get our 42001 scheme up and running
• Delivering clear, accurate audit reports that meet our technical requirements, working closely with our Technical Expert on reviews
• Training, mentoring and upskilling our auditors, and setting the bar for audit quality across the team
• Owning key client relationships and explaining the audit process in plain language, not industry jargon
• Spending 3-4 days a week on client, witness and internal audits, including some interstate travel for witness audits and client engagements

Who we're looking for

You know your standards inside out, and you can explain them to anyone. Here's what will set you up for success:

• Strong lead auditor experience in ISO 27001, as a third-party auditor from a certification body
• Working knowledge of ISO 42001 and how AI management systems are audited
• Current lead auditor registration for ISO 27001 and ISO 42001
• You can explain auditing to people who don't work in certification, and you're confident with clients at every level
• You're a team player with strong people skills, and you enjoy developing other auditors
• Bonus points for audit exposure in industries that include software development, financial services, insurance or government
