If you're excited to shape the future of design and collaboration, join us! This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a high-quality SOX program while helping create something from the ground up: an IT risk management function and operational audit capability at one of the most recognized design companies in the world.

The right candidate brings compliance rigor and the intellectual curiosity to work in greenfield territory, where the playbook does not yet exist.
What you’ll do at Figma:
- Execute the IT SOX compliance program: ITGC and ITAC testing, deficiency management, remediation tracking, and SOX documentation. Coordinate with external auditors and co-sourced resources throughout the audit cycle.
- Provide technical support in the assessment, design, and implementation of IT General Controls and IT Application Controls in collaboration with GRC and IT management. Participate in system upgrades and implementations to ensure controls over financial reporting are adequately identified and addressed.
- Lead IT risk conversations with management and contribute to the IT risk register. Support the buildout of Figma's IT risk management program, including risk identification methodology, assessment frameworks, and leadership reporting.
- Contribute to risk updates for the Audit Committee and senior leadership as it relates to the IT risk landscape, including emerging technology risks such as cloud, SaaS, and AI.
- Develop a risk-based operational audit plan and implement audits across IT and business process areas, including where no prior year workpapers exist. Issue findings with risk ratings and actionable recommendations; track remediation to closure.
- Build audit programs from scratch, prepare clear and concise audit reports, and present findings and recommendations to senior leaders and cross-functional partners.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
We'd love to hear from you if you have:
- 6+ years in IT audit, IT risk management, or a combination thereof
- IT SOX compliance experience with hands-on ownership of ITGCs, ITACs, and Segregation of Duties
- Experience performing operational or integrated audits, including in environments without established playbooks
- Knowledge of PCAOB/SEC requirements and audit frameworks, including CISA, CIA, or CISM certifications
- Ability to collaborate across Internal Audit and cross-functional teams (GRC, IT, Finance, Legal, Business Systems)
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
While not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:
- Experience supporting the development of a risk management program
- SaaS or fast-paced tech company experience
- Familiarity with GRC tools (AuditBoard, Workiva, ServiceNow GRC, or similar)

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as an IT Audit Manager
Verify your degree field matches
H-1B approval for IT Audit Manager roles depends on your degree being directly related to the position. A degree in information systems, accounting, or computer science typically qualifies. A general business degree without IT coursework can trigger a Request for Evidence from USCIS.
Search LCA filings by occupation code
IT Audit Manager falls under SOC code 13-2011 on DOL Labor Condition Applications. Use Migrate Mate to filter employers who have filed LCAs for this specific code, so you're targeting companies with a verified history of sponsoring this exact role.
Prioritize cap-exempt employer categories
Universities, nonprofit research organizations, and government research institutions are cap-exempt, meaning they can file H-1B petitions outside the lottery window. IT audit functions exist at these employers, and a cap-exempt filing gives you a path if you miss the annual lottery.
Confirm prevailing wage tier before negotiating
Your employer must pay at least the DOL prevailing wage for your location and experience level. Run the OFLC Wage Search for SOC 13-2011 in your target metro before accepting an offer, so you know whether the salary they're proposing meets the legal minimum for your H-1B petition.
Register during the H-1B lottery window
USCIS opens H-1B registration each March for roughly two weeks. Your employer initiates this, not you. Confirm your prospective employer has an active relationship with an immigration attorney or filing service before February, so registration doesn't fall through due to administrative delays.
Document your IT and audit experience separately
IT Audit Manager is a hybrid role, and USCIS may question whether it qualifies as a specialty occupation if the job description reads as purely managerial. Get employer letters that detail the technical IT systems, audit frameworks, and cybersecurity standards the role requires, not just supervisory duties.

Find IT Audit Manager JobsIT Audit Manager H-1B Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does an IT Audit Manager role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes, provided the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as information systems, accounting, computer science, or management information systems. USCIS evaluates both the job description and your degree. Roles that emphasize technical IT controls, risk frameworks, or cybersecurity auditing are stronger candidates than positions described primarily in managerial terms.
Which types of employers sponsor H-1B visas for IT Audit Managers?
Financial services firms, Big Four accounting and consulting firms, large technology companies, and healthcare systems are among the most active sponsors for IT Audit Manager roles. These employers file Labor Condition Applications with the DOL before petitioning USCIS. You can find employers with verified H-1B filing history for this role on Migrate Mate, filtered by occupation and location.
How does the H-1B lottery affect my timeline for starting an IT Audit Manager job?
If your employer is a cap-subject company, your petition enters the annual H-1B lottery in March. Selection is random. If selected, your employment can begin October 1 of that fiscal year at the earliest. If you're currently on OPT or another status with a cap-gap provision, you may be able to continue working while your petition is pending after April 1.
Can my employer file for H-1B before I finish my current visa status?
Yes. Your employer can file an H-1B petition while you're on a valid F-1 OPT, L-1, or other nonimmigrant status. The petition itself doesn't require you to be out of status. USCIS processes the petition independently of your current authorization, and you can request premium processing to get a decision within 15 business days.
What documentation do I need to support an H-1B petition for an IT Audit Manager position?
Your employer typically needs your academic transcripts and degree certificates, any professional certifications such as CISA or CISSP, employment verification letters detailing your prior IT audit responsibilities, and a detailed job description tying the role to your degree field. USCIS may also request an O*NET occupation profile to confirm the specialty occupation standard is met for this title.
