About the Team

The internal audit team at Navi goes beyond surface-level checks, diving deep into processes with strong analytical skills to uncover hidden risks, non compliances and inefficiencies. They act as problem-solvers, identifying issues and providing actionable insights that strengthen governance and business performance.

About the Role

We're searching for an Audit Manager who brings more than routine paperwork to the role.
