Description and Requirements

The Team You Will Join

As part of Internal Audit at MetLife, you’ll play a critical role protecting MetLife and its stakeholders by delivering both independent, risk-based, and objective assurance through audit execution and providing advice and insights through strategic advisory engagements. Collaborating across the company, you’ll use your strategic problem-solving skills, consulting expertise, and ethical standards to support the company’s growth strategy. Join us at the forefront of the evolving risk landscape to proactively address business imperatives and mitigate emerging risks by developing talent, leveraging new technology, and fostering an innovative culture.

The Opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity to join MetLife’s Global Internal Audit organization at a pivotal moment. Data and artificial intelligence are central to MetLife’s strategy, and this role plays a critical part in ensuring these capabilities are used responsibly, ethically, and effectively.

As Lead Auditor – Data & AI, you will deliver independent assurance over some of the company’s most important and innovative initiatives, working closely with senior leaders and cross‑functional teams across the enterprise. You will help advance how Internal Audit approaches emerging risks, modernize audit techniques, and influence how governance keeps pace with technology.

This role is ideal for someone who wants to combine technical expertise, risk mindset, and strategic impact—while helping shape the future of responsible data and AI across a global organization.

Key Responsibilities

Support risk assessments and development of audit plans for data and AI governance areas.
Lead and support audits, including planning, fieldwork, reporting, and managing issues to closure via collaboration with audit teams and key stakeholders.
Identify audit issues, present findings, and recommend improvements to reduce risks.
Prepare clear and concise audit deliverables that support audit conclusions and meet quality standards.
Stay updated on data and AI trends, technologies, and regulations, applying insights to audit engagements and supporting the education of data and AI risks and controls to audit teams.

Required Qualifications

A bachelor's degree or higher in information systems, computer science, engineering, or a related field.
5 - 7 years of experience in auditing, consulting, or implementing data and AI solutions.
Understanding of data and AI concepts, principles, techniques, and tools, such as data governance, data quality, data security, data privacy, AI governance, AI risk management, AI explainability, and AI performance.
Clear written and verbal communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to convey audit findings and recommendations effectively.
Strong project management and organizational skills, with the ability to handle multiple audit engagements and deliver high-quality results within deadlines and budgets.

Preferred Qualifications

Flexibility and adaptability, with the ability to work in a fast-paced, complex and dynamic environment with evolving changes.

Location Expectation: This is a hybrid role requiring a minimum of 3 days per week in office.

The expected salary range for this position is $115,000 - $150,000. This role may also be eligible for annual short-term incentive compensation and stock-based long-term incentives. All incentives and benefits are subject to the applicable plan terms.

Benefits We Offer

Our U.S. benefits address holistic well-being with programs for physical and mental health, financial wellness, and support for families. We offer a comprehensive health plan that includes medical/prescription drug and vision, dental insurance, and no-cost short- and long-term disability. We also provide company-paid life insurance and legal services, a retirement pension funded entirely by MetLife and 401(k) with employer matching, group discounts on voluntary insurance products including auto and home, pet, critical illness, hospital indemnity, and accident insurance, as well as Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and digital mental health programs, parental leave, paid time off, paid holidays, volunteer time off, tuition assistance and much more!
