The City of Richmond is introducing a new Senior Manager, Internal Audit and Risk role—an exciting opportunity to build and lead a modern audit and risk function. This is a chance to shape an impactful program that strengthens public accountability, enhances organizational performance, and supports one of Canada’s most dynamic municipalities.
Reporting to the Senior Management Team and to City Council through the Finance and Audit Committee, you will serve as a trusted advisor who helps the City manage complex risks, safeguard public resources, and promote transparency and continuous improvement. You will develop and implement a multi‑year, risk‑based internal audit plan; undertake and lead financial, operational, compliance, and performance audits; and oversee the ongoing development of the City’s enterprise risk management and fraud risk management programs.
In this influential role, you will provide clear, evidence‑based insights and recommendations to senior leaders and Council, guide the work of the Risk Manager and Manager, Business Advisory Services, and collaborate with external auditors and partner agencies. You will play a key role in building organizational capacity, strengthening internal controls, and cultivating a culture of integrity and accountability, and supporting responsible financial management and governance.
You bring a bachelor’s degree in a related field and a professional designation such as CPA, CIA, CRMA, or CFE, with a graduate degree considered an asset. With seven to ten years of progressive experience in internal audit, risk management, compliance, or fraud risk management—ideally within a municipal or public‑sector environment—you are known as an exceptional communicator and a trusted relationship‑builder who navigates complexity with confidence and integrity.
If you are energized by the opportunity to build something meaningful and help shape a resilient and future‑ready Richmond, we would love to hear from you.
We will be reviewing applications as they are received but anticipate interviews beginning after June 29th, 2026.
