Sr. Manager, IT Audit

What Drives Success

Lennox is seeking an accomplished technology audit leader to help shape audit and advisory coverage across a rapidly evolving technology landscape. Reporting directly to the Vice President, Corporate Audit, this role will serve as a peer to the current IT Audit Manager. Together, these leaders will provide complementary leadership across the technology audit portfolio, lead complex IT audits and advisory projects, and develop high-performing audit professionals.

This is a visible, hands-on leadership role with broad exposure across corporate functions, business segments, factory locations, and distribution operations. You will assess technology risks, internal controls, infrastructure, security measures, and verification procedures while helping Corporate Audit expand continuous auditing, data analytics, and automation capabilities.

Why this Role Stands Out:

• Direct access to the Vice President, Corporate Audit, with regular interaction across IT and business leadership
• A peer leadership role alongside the current IT Audit Manager, with meaningful influence over technology audit and advisory coverage
• Exposure to emerging and enterprise technologies, including cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, data lakes, Databricks, SAP, and Extended Warehouse Management (EWM)
• A broad portfolio spanning IT audits, special projects, and partnership on financial and operational audits across a manufacturing and distribution environment
• An opportunity to develop audit professionals and advance continuous auditing, data analytics, and audit automation

What You'll Do:

• Participate in annual risk assessments and plan and lead complex audits of internal controls across the company’s operations.
• Plan, organize, direct, and control the work of staff conducting IT audits and special projects, and partner on financial and operational audits.
• Define audit objectives, perform project-level risk assessments, and prepare audit programs.
• Develop and coordinate audit schedules, budgets, and workforce requirements for audit assignments.
• Direct and review auditing activities and assign Corporate Audit resources to ensure audit objectives are achieved.
• Coordinate Corporate Audit activities with external audit and co-source resources.
• Work with IT leaders and managers to solve shared problems and support compliance with IT governance.
• Partner in the development of continuous auditing programs using data analytics and complementary tools and techniques.
• Help automate audit activities, including planning, testing, and reporting.
• Provide consultation and advice to all levels of management through independent review of procedures, practices, controls, and documentation.
• Identify weaknesses and propose workable improvements.
• Manage multiple projects while balancing competing priorities and deadlines.
