"I understand in this Senior IT Auditor role, I may be asked to work on projects and initiatives with other departments such as IT, risk and compliance. I am regularly exposed to cross-functional teamwork in my current position. I believe that when expectations are communicated clearly from the beginning, a cross-functional team project can be very successful. I go into these types of projects with an understanding that everyone has their own strengths and limitations based on their expertise and job function."

"I have worked in a cross-functional setting for many years. Primarily with the HR department and the Accounting department. I understand this HR specialist role at USAA will require much of the same, working with finance and accounting. Clear communication is key when collaborating with different teams. Clarity in expectations is of huge importance to me when doing so."
