Through its Young Africa Works strategy and Canadian EleV program, the Foundation works with partners to ensure that millions of young people, especially young women, access quality education, financial services, and dignified work. Mastercard Foundation was established in 2006 through the generosity of Mastercard when it became a public company. The Foundation is independent with its own Board of Directors and CEO.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Job Description<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Job Title: Lead, Assurance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>THE WORK AT THE FOUNDATION <\/strong><strong>We have entered a very exciting time at the Foundation as we scale up our operations across Africa to realize our\u00a0Young Africa Works\u00a0strategy.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Our role at the Mastercard Foundation is to be a catalyst. Our Young Africa Works strategy focuses on working with others to spur systemic change so young people have the opportunity to find work that is dignified and fulfilling. The Foundation has opened offices in Rwanda, Kenya, Ghana, Senegal, Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Uganda, building a broader leadership presence in Africa to develop specific strategies that support youth employment. Within a country, we work with governments, the private sector, educators, young people, and other funders to improve the quality of education and vocational training, prepare young people for the workforce, expand access to financial services for entrepreneurs and small businesses, and connect job seekers to dignified and fulfilling work. We are ambitious and driven. Our values transcend and rise above everything else as our guide. We encourage you to bring your bold ideas, curiosity, and expertise to your work. We laugh at ourselves and at each other. We are a team. Our journey together makes our impact even more meaningful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UNDERSTANDING CANADA PROGRAMS AT THE FOUNDATION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Foundation has begun working within Canada in partnership with Indigenous communities and post-secondary institutions to listen, learn, and best understand how we can act in meaningful ways. The EleV strategy was co-created with Indigenous communities, young people, and partners to enable 30,000 Indigenous youth to complete their education and transition to dignified work aligned with their values and aspirations. As reflected in Canada\u2019s Truth and Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action, education is a key driver of improved socio-economic well-being. Through building partnerships with Indigenous communities, we look to expand our initiative ultimately helping to support a generation of transformative Indigenous young leaders who will be change agents within their communities. We believe that by setting a bold target, we will encourage engagement across sectors and create momentum that will elevate the strengths and opportunities of Indigenous youth. In keeping with our approach, Indigenous communities and young people will be the drivers of this transformation. The program will promote innovations to address longer-term systemic change to achieve economic prosperity and social well-being within Indigenous communities. The EleV team oversees current and emerging partnerships related to Indigenous education. Consistent with our overall vision and Youth Africa Works strategy, we will share learnings and opportunities to connect across the work of the Foundation. While operating in distinct contexts, the centrality of youth voice and vision, affirmation of culture and identity, and priority to enhance community capacity for self-determination are common threads upon which our work is strengthened and reinforced. <strong>If you are a driven and passionate Internal Audit professional ready to build something new and increase your impact, read on! <\/strong><strong>THE OPPORTUNITY\u00a0<\/strong>Reporting to the Head, of Assurance, the role will be based either in Accra, Kigali or Ethiopia and will be responsible for performing internal audits and reviews under various programs to help the Foundation achieve its objectives by evaluating the effectiveness of its governance, risk management, operational effectiveness, financial management, and internal controls and fostering an environment of continuous improvement. <strong>The successful candidate will be based in any of our listed offices in Africa (Rwanda, Ethiopia, Ghana)<\/strong><strong>WAYS YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Internal Audit<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Provide input into the development of the foundation\u2019s audit strategy and risk-based annual internal audit plan which covers all countries and functions<\/li>\n<li>Execute the Foundation\u2019s annual internal audit plan<\/li>\n<li>Provide audit reports to management that articulate the potential impact of issues identified and provide practical recommendations.
