Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:

Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Analytical mindset with problem-solving and critical-thinking abilities.
Strong attention to detail and process orientation.
Ability to organize, prioritize, and manage multiple tasks effectively.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications, particularly Excel; familiarity with Visio is a plus.
Basic understanding of internal audit principles, accounting concepts, or risk management practices.
Ability to build positive working relationships and collaborate across teams.
Growth mindset with a willingness to learn, seek feedback, and continuously develop professionally.
Professional certifications such as CPA or CIA, or progress toward obtaining them, are a plus but not required

Physical Requirements:

Primarily sedentary office work requiring extended periods of sitting and computer use.
Frequent use of hands for keyboarding and other computer-related tasks.
Ability to communicate effectively in person and virtually.
Occasionally move and/or lift items up to 20 pounds.
Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of the role

Where You’ll Work:

Location: Chicago, Illinois
Work Arrangements: Mostly Off-Site
Travel Requirements: Less than 5%

Compensation and Pay Philosophy:
The hourly range for this role is $36.30-$49.91. This reflects the expected compensation for the position at the time of posting. The final offer will be based on factors such as the candidate’s experience, qualifications, geographic location, and internal equity, and may be higher or lower than the posted range. The pay range is subject to change in the future in accordance with applicable laws. EquiTrust is committed to fair and competitive compensation that considers individual and organizational needs.
