## Job description

We're looking for a senior, hands-on leader to own IT audit and governance across all of our applications, infrastructure, and systems. You'll be accountable for keeping IT audit-ready every day: SOX ITGCs and ITACs, plus the broader audit and governance obligations that touch the technology stack (SOC reports, ISO, security and regulatory audits).

This role is about accountability and execution. You'll work with cross-functional IT leaders across Infrastructure, Engineering, Security, Cloud, Enterprise Applications, and Business Systems to make sure controls are owned, operated, evidenced, and remediated on time. You'll also be the primary IT liaison to Internal Audit, Finance/SOX PMO, and external auditors. You operate independently, influence without authority, and can speak credibly with an engineer about a CI/CD pipeline and with the CAO about a deficiency.

We're looking to speak with candidates based in Palo Alto or New York City for our hybrid working model.

## What You'll Do

Own audit and governance across all IT

- Own the audit and governance program across all IT applications, infrastructure, cloud platforms, and supporting systems
- Maintain a complete inventory of systems, owners, and applicable audit and compliance obligations (SOX, SOC 1/SOC 2, ISO 27001, and other regulatory or customer requirements)
- Build and run an IT audit calendar that coordinates SOX, internal audit, external audit, and compliance activities to reduce duplicate asks and audit fatigue
- Establish governance standards, policies, and control frameworks that apply consistently across IT

Drive accountability and execution with IT leaders

- Partner with cross-functional IT leaders to assign clear control and remediation ownership, with defined deadlines and escalation paths
- Run regular governance forums and control health reviews with IT leadership, reporting status, risks, and overdue items
- Hold teams accountable for timely control execution, evidence quality, and issue closure, escalating early when commitments slip
- Translate audit and compliance requirements into practical work that engineering and infrastructure teams can adopt without slowing delivery

Own ITGC and ITAC compliance

- Own the end-to-end SOX IT program: scoping inputs, control design, ownership, evidence, readiness testing, and issue management
- Maintain the ITGC framework (access management, change management, IT operations, SDLC) across all in-scope applications, databases, operating systems, and cloud infrastructure
- Own ITAC strategy and coverage with Finance and business-system owners: automated controls, configurations, interfaces, calculations, and approval workflows
- Own IPE/report validation, ITAC baselines, and segregation of duties (SoD) across ERP and key financial applications

Design, operate, and strengthen controls

- Design controls that are engineered into IT workflows (ticketing, CI/CD, IAM, CMDB) rather than layered on manually
- Run readiness and self-assessment testing ahead of Internal Audit and external auditor testing
- Rationalize overlapping controls across frameworks so one control and one piece of evidence can satisfy multiple requirements
- Drive automation and continuous control monitoring to reduce manual effort and audit burden
- Manage SOC 1/SOC 2 report reviews, CUECs, and third-party/vendor control dependencies

Drive remediation and issue management

- Own the issue lifecycle across IT, from identification and root cause through remediation plan, validation, and closure
- Prepare management's response to audit findings and provide the IT perspective on deficiency severity with Finance, Legal, and Internal Audit
- Report control health and remediation status to IT leadership, the CAO, and the Audit Committee as needed

Be the IT face to auditors and the business

- Serve as primary IT contact for Internal Audit and external auditors on scope, walkthroughs, evidence requests, and reliance strategy
- Coordinate PBC requests, evidence standards, and timelines across IT teams
- Train and enable control owners and IT leaders on audit requirements, evidence quality, and their responsibilities

Lead and elevate the program

- Set standards for control documentation, evidence, and issue management across IT
- Mentor analysts and guide co-source or outsourced resources
- Contribute to emerging governance areas such as AI/emerging technology

## What You'll Bring

Required

- 8-12+ years of experience in IT audit, SOX compliance, IT governance, or technology risk (Big 4, internal audit, or in-house IT GRC)
- Deep, hands-on experience with SOX 404 ITGCs and ITACs in a public company
- Working knowledge of COSO, COBIT, and PCAOB AS 2201, and how external auditors approach IT reliance and ITAC testing
- Experience across modern technology environments: cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP), SaaS, ERP (e.g., Oracle, NetSuite, SAP), infrastructure, and identity/access platforms
- Familiarity with other frameworks and audits (SOC 1/SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST) and how to harmonize them
- Proven track record of owning programs end-to-end and driving accountability and execution across multiple teams and senior leaders without direct authority
- Excellent communication and executive presence, including negotiating with auditors and briefing senior leadership
- Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, Accounting, Computer Science, or a related field

## Preferred

- CISA, CISSP, CIA, CPA, or equivalent certification
- Experience with GRC and audit tools (e.g., AuditBoard, ServiceNow GRC, Workiva, Archer)
- Data analytics skills (SQL, Python, Power BI/Tableau) for full-population testing and control monitoring
- Experience in high-growth, SaaS, or technology company environments
- Familiarity with DevOps/CI-CD, infrastructure-as-code, and change management in agile environments

What Success Looks Like

- First 90 days: Map the IT landscape, systems, control owners, and audit obligations. Build relationships with IT leaders, Finance, Internal Audit, and external auditors. Identify the top gaps, ownership issues, and quick wins.
- 6 months: Stand up a governance cadence with IT leaders, with clear ownership and on-time execution. Complete a full readiness cycle with controls evidenced on time and no surprises from auditors.
- 12 months: Reduce control count and manual effort through rationalization and automation, close prior-year findings, and establish a scalable, IT-owned audit and governance program with a consolidated audit calendar and framework
