Head of Internal Audit

Who you are

You have extensive experience in internal audit functions, ideally with a focus on SOX compliance and risk management — you've successfully established audit programs from the ground up and understand the intricacies of internal controls in a growing organization. Your leadership skills shine through as you build and mentor teams, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and high ethical standards.

You possess a strong understanding of financial regulations and compliance frameworks — your ability to navigate complex regulatory environments has been proven in previous roles, where you've implemented effective audit methodologies and risk assessment frameworks. You are detail-oriented and analytical, with a knack for identifying potential risks and areas for improvement.

Your collaborative spirit allows you to work effectively with cross-functional teams, including Finance, Legal, IT, Security, and Engineering — you understand the importance of protecting organizational integrity and are committed to supporting the company's mission through robust internal controls. You thrive in environments that require in-person collaboration and are comfortable leading discussions that drive strategic decisions.

Desirable

Experience in a technology company or a startup environment is a plus — you understand the unique challenges that come with scaling a business and are adept at adapting audit practices to fit evolving needs. Familiarity with audit software and tools will enhance your ability to streamline processes and improve efficiency.
