Vanguard’s Internal Audit team is seeking an experienced Internal Audit Learning Program Specialist to join our Center for Audit Practices and Enablement (CAPE)- the team responsible for shaping audit methodology, standards, and capability across the function.

In this role, you will partner closely with stakeholders across IAS to design, develop, and deliver learning initiatives that strengthen the technical capabilities of audit professionals. This is not a traditional L&D role—rather, we are seeking an audit professional who can interpret complex audit needs and translate them into practical, high-impact learning.

The ideal candidate brings a strong internal audit foundation with the ability to engage credibly with audit leaders, understand nuanced capability gaps, and convert those insights into effective training that enhances auditor performance and supports the continued evolution of the function.

Responsibilities

  • Develop, implement, and maintain a comprehensive learning strategy, roadmap, and curriculum aligned to the needs of the Internal Audit SOX organization. This will include an emphasis on audit skills, acumen, and methodology, as well as technical skills, professional development, business and industry knowledge, and emerging trends in internal auditing.

  • Synthesize inputs from stakeholders, audit outcomes, and emerging trends to assess learning needs across IAS and identify priority capability gaps; translate insights into recommendations that inform curriculum design and roadmap prioritization.

  • Deliver engaging and interactive learning sessions, workshops, and events, utilizing a variety of instructional techniques and formats, including in-person, on-the-job, e-learning, and external training resources.

  • Build strong relationships with IAS stakeholders across all levels and teams. Partner with stakeholders and subject matter experts in the development and deployment of learning initiatives.

  • Ensure that training programs align with relevant industry standards, requirements, and best practices, including the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) Global Audit Standards. Stay updated on changes to related standards and practices and propose recommendations for changes or enhancements.

  • Regularly assess the effectiveness of our learning and development efforts. Identify areas for improvement and make necessary adjustments to enhance the quality and relevance of initiatives.

  • Participate in special projects and perform other duties as assigned.

Qualifications

  • Typically five (5) years related work experience; undergraduate degree or equivalent combination of training and experience.

  • Experience in audit, risk or controls with exposure to audit execution and understanding of audit lifecycle preferred.

  • Experience in creating and delivering learning content or curriculums, ideally for an audit/risk related environment, is preferred.

  • Strong project management skills including prioritization, managing multiple concurrent initiatives, anticipating next steps, adapting to change, and meeting deadlines.

  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively across teams and levels to influence, drive change, and deliver results.

  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to translate complex audit concepts into clear, practical messaging.

  • CIA (Certified Internal Auditor), CPA (Certified Public Accountant), CISA (Certified Information Systems Auditor), or other relevant certification preferred.

  • Hybrid position requiring proximity to our Malvern, PA office.
