The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Caterpillar is hiring a Audit Manager in Ames, IA.

• Role description

  Caterpillar is the kind of place where an Audit Manager gets to challenge the CFO and be thanked for it. The proposition holds together — $107,000 - $150,000, 8 years, an IA base, and ownership the rest of the market rarely grants.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Trace a single transaction end to end when the numbers stop tying
  • Oversee accounts reconciliation across multiple entities and currencies
  • Convert a messy chart of accounts into something a newcomer can read
  • Catch the misclassified entry three months before the auditor would
  • Stand up internal controls that survive a surprise audit

  What You'll Bring

  • Comfort presenting to an IA-wide audience without a script
  • A collaborator who makes the manager review feel less like an exam
  • The instinct to ask "what would change your mind?" before debating
  • Comfort working in a fast-paced, tinker-friendly environment

  Inside Caterpillar's Ames headquarters, an agile team treats every ACCA bug like a personal insult worth fixing tonight. At Caterpillar we hire people we can trust with real decisions and then give them the room to make them.

  We answer the money question first with $107,000 - $150,000, then keep going with growth budgets, mentorship, and a flexible temporary schedule.

  Newly timestamped, Caterpillar keeps this manager opening on the active board.
