ABOUT THE ROLE

Part of Wolters Kluwer CP&ESG, TeamMate is a leading provider of software solutions that help organizations manage audit, risk, compliance and governance more effectively. TeamMate is a highly configurable Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) platform designed for internal audit, risk, internal control, compliance and IT GRC professionals to manage their assurance programmes with greater confidence, efficiency and insight.
