About the Role

The Associate in Tech Assurance sits within Deloitte’s Audit & Assurance practice in Riyadh, where technology now underpins almost every part of financial reporting. Modern audits cannot rely only on paper records or manual checks. Companies run their finance functions through complex IT systems, and auditors need specialists who can test whether the controls inside those systems can be trusted. That is the space this role works in every day.

In practical terms, the work focuses on the IT controls that support reliable financial reporting. That includes general IT controls and application controls, the IT infrastructure behind them, and major enterprise systems such as SAP and Oracle. You will help examine how systems are accessed, changed and operated, and whether the controls around them are designed well and working as intended. The findings feed directly into the wider audit, so accuracy and clear documentation are essential.

The role also includes third-party assurance work. This covers reporting frameworks such as SOC 1 / ISAE 3402 and SOC 2, where Deloitte assesses and reports on controls at service organisations that other businesses rely on. Alongside technical testing, Associates take part in client walkthroughs, record their results following Deloitte methodology, help develop remediation plans where control gaps are found, and support proposals and client deliverables.

A notable part of the current role is the thoughtful use of artificial intelligence in an audit setting, including prompt engineering and structured problem-solving, always balanced by professional scepticism and careful validation of any AI-generated output before it is used in audit documentation.

• Review aspects of IT infrastructure and enterprise systems such as SAP and Oracle as part of audit and assurance engagements
• Contribute to third-party assurance reporting, including SOC 1 / ISAE 3402 and SOC 2 related work
• Join client walkthroughs, asking focused questions to understand how systems and controls operate in practice
• Document test results in line with Deloitte methodology, so that findings are consistent, traceable and ready for review
• Help build remediation plans when control gaps are identified, setting out practical next steps for addressing weaknesses
• Support the preparation of proposals and client deliverables, contributing analysis and written material to a high professional standard
• Use AI tools in an audit context where appropriate, including prompt engineering, while applying professional scepticism and validating outputs before they enter audit documentation

• One to two years of relevant experience in IT audit, IT risk, or IT assurance
