Position Overview
We're seeking a highly motivated and analytical Senior, Tech Risk and AI Automation, to play a pivotal role in building an AI-first internal audit and risk function.

- Partner closely with Engineering, IT, and business teams to integrate our AI automation with internal systems, enabling end-to-end automated assurance workflows.
- Serve as a subject matter expert and champion for the use of AI and automation in risk management.
- Contribute to a culture of innovation and excellence within the Risk Advisory and Assurance team.
Who You Might Be
- An experienced professional with 2 to 4 years of experience in a Big 4 accounting firm, internal audit, and/or compliance function with a demonstrated passion for technology and automation.
- A subject matter expert with experience supporting SOX and/or security compliance testing in the technology industry, preferably platform companies.
- A self-motivated, results-oriented technology-first thinker with a proactive and creative approach to problem-solving. You seek "what could be" and are driven to build it.
- A collaborator with a strong work ethic and enthusiasm for learning, who thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities
- Professional certifications such as CISA, CPA, CIA, and/or CISSP preferred
- Controls testing experience, including tech general controls, application controls, key reports, and integrations
- Ability to assess complex processes to identify risks and opportunities for automation
- Hands-on experience leveraging AI tools and prompting (i.e., Google AI suite, ChatGPT, specialized AI audit tools, etc)
- Critical thinker that can focus on solutions and comfortable with ambiguity
- Familiarity with programming languages (i.e., SQL and Python) preferred, but not required
