Senior Tech, Data & AI Auditor

The position is based either in London, Paris or Zurich (depending on the successful candidate’s location). The successful candidate will support the global GIA team based in the EMEA, UK, US and APAC regions. This is a unique and important role within GIA. The successful candidate will bring strong expertise in technology, data, AI development, testing, governance and risk management, helping GIA provide effective assurance over the organisation's expanding use of digital technologies and AI-enabled solutions.

The role has a dual focus: (1) supporting audits over technology, data, automation and AI-related risks, applications, processes and controls; and (2) helping to shape the future of GIA by developing and applying data analytics, automation solutions, and AI tools that enhance audit effectiveness, efficiency and insight generation.

This role is a strong accelerator to leverage and expand your expertise, tackle real business challenges, and deliver tangible impact. The successful candidate will work closely with both GIA teams and SCOR's wider Technology & Data communities, acting as a bridge between technical innovation and risk-based assurance.

Candidates may come from a variety of technology, data, AI or analytical backgrounds and, whilst internal audit or enterprise risk management experience would be advantageous, it is not essential. The successful candidate will be supported by experienced members of the GIA team, providing an opportunity to develop audit and assurance expertise alongside their existing technical skills. We are seeking curious, motivated individuals who are keen to apply their technology, data and AI skills in a new and evolving context while helping to transform the future of GIA.
