About Vitamin Angels

Vitamin Angels is a 501(c)3 non-profit, global public health organization working to improve nutrition worldwide. VA works directly with local organizations, including governments, to reach nutritionally vulnerable populations – pregnant women, infants, and young children – who are underserved by existing systems. Since 1994, VA has been delivering evidence-based nutrition interventions and providing technical assistance to reach more than 70 million women and children in low-resource settings annually. 

Vitamin Angels is an equal opportunity employer committed to fostering a workplace that values diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. We are a dedicated group of individuals who strive to create a supportive environment where all individuals have access to equal opportunities to succeed, regardless of background, identity, or perspective. Our efforts aim to ensure fairness and mutual respect for all employees, promoting a culture of belonging and professional growth. 

Role or Purpose of Position

The Associate Director, Enterprise Risk and Internal Audit  will lead Vitamin Angels’ internal audit function, providing independent and objective assurance to the Audit & Finance Committee, the Board and the Senior Leadership Team on the adequacy and effectiveness of the organization’s risk management, internal controls and compliance frameworks. 

The Associate Director, Enterprise Risk and Internal Audit reports to, and works closely with the General Counsel, who leads the Legal & Compliance function, in building Vitamin Angels' enterprise risk management capability and establishing the organization’s internal audit function.

Neither capability exists today in a formal way. This role will build the foundation before becoming a maintenance role. It is anticipated that the first twelve months will be spent establishing frameworks, charters and practices largely from scratch, under the direction of the General Counsel and CFAO. 

As part of Vitamin Angels 2030 (our new three-year strategy), VA is shifting from a largely unrestricted, relationship-driven funding model toward one that includes significantly more restricted and institutional grant funding — with the compliance, reporting and control expectations that come with this. This role is a consequential hire in this transition.
