About the Role

Location - 3 days on-site in Wilmington, DE
Duration - 6+ month contract to hire
Comp - $90/hr C2C MAX
NOTES:
She brings a breadth of experience, but many of her positions have been contract-based, and I did not hear enough examples demonstrating the long-term leadership, ownership, and program-building experience we are seeking.
Her responses were generally high level, making it difficult to assess how she would approach building and advancing the IT audit program. While I would expect ongoing collaboration and oversight in the role, I was looking for more examples of proactively identifying opportunities, developing solutions, and bringing forward recommendations.
After reviewing the information, I dont think well be moving forward with these particular candidates at this time. For this position, Im specifically seeking candidates who are more at the entry-level management stage and have substantial experience in dedicated internal audit roles or public accounting, ideally in the range of 6 to 10+ years. This focus should help us find someone who fits both our teams current needs and our long-term objectives.
