As Senior Manager, IT Internal Audit, you will be a key member of the leadership team driving Avalara's internal audit strategy. Reporting directly to the VP of Internal Audit, you will own the vision and execution of our IT internal audit plan, lead Avalara's IT ICFR/SOX program end-to-end, and lead high-impact audits spanning IT, security, privacy and compliance risks. This is a high-visibility role for an experienced audit leader who thrives at the intersection of technology and controls — someone who has operated in fast-moving SaaS environments and wants to build something, not just maintain it. You will work remotely from anywhere in the US, managing a team of internal and co-source resources, helping to modernize our audit function and support Avalara's approach to AI governance and responsible AI adoption.
What Your Responsibilities Will Be:You will:
- Drive cross-functional audit strategy with executive stakeholders across Security, Engineering, Compliance, Product, Risk Management, and G&A — designing and executing a risk-based IT audit plan that spans financial, operational, IT, security and compliance domains.
- Manage multiple concurrent audit engagements end-to-end — from strategic scoping and risk prioritization through fieldwork, reporting, and remediation tracking — delivering actionable insights to senior leadership and the Audit Committee.
- Contribute to the enterprise risk assessment framework, identifying emerging technology, cybersecurity, AI/ML, and business risks — and translating them into a forward-looking audit roadmap that keeps Avalara ahead of the curve. Serve as a trusted advisor to the business on AI governance, algorithmic risk, and the control implications of deploying AI across Avalara's products and operations.
- Manage and help transform Avalara's IT ICFR/SOX compliance program, helping to set the standard for control design, testing methodology, and regulatory readiness — including evaluating how AI and automation can be embedded into the control environment to increase coverage, reduce latency, and strengthen assurance across a complex, global SaaS environment, while working in sync with Business Process internal auditors to ensure alignment.
- Manage relationships with IT external auditors and ensure continued alignment and communication to avoid audit fatigue to internal stakeholders.
- Lead annual technology risk assessments that directly shape the company's audit and enterprise risk management strategies — partnering with the C-suite, ERM, Engineering and Avatech to align priorities with Avalara's growth trajectory.
- Deliver compelling, executive-ready audit reports that translate complex findings into clear business impact, actionable recommendations, and risk quantification for senior leadership and the Board.
- Help build and develop a high-performing audit team — attracting top talent, developing future leaders, and fostering a culture of intellectual curiosity, continuous improvement, and operational excellence.
- Champion the next generation of audit technology — deploying AI-powered anomaly detection, predictive risk scoring, automated control testing, and continuous monitoring to fundamentally reimagine how internal audit delivers value at Avalara. Build the team's AI fluency and establish repeatable frameworks for evaluating and adopting emerging tools.
- Play a central role in Avalara's public company readiness journey, partnering with internal stakeholders and external audit, to build the controls infrastructure, governance frameworks, and audit capabilities required to operate as a best-in-class public company.
- Lead high-priority strategic initiatives, M&A due diligence, and special investigations, bringing audit rigor and business acumen to Avalara's most consequential decisions
You have:
- A Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, Engineering, Risk Management, or related field.
- 7+ years of progressive experience in IT audit (internal or external), with 3+ years in a people-leadership role within high-growth SaaS, FinTech, or technology companies.
- CPA, CIA, CISA, CISSP, CCSP or CISM preferred — candidates holding multiple certifications or with deep IT audit and information security credentials are strongly preferred.
- Deep expertise in internal auditing standards, ICFR/SOX compliance, GAAP, PCAOB standards, SEC regulations, COSO, and COBIT — with hands-on experience auditing cloud-native SaaS architectures, IT general controls, and cybersecurity frameworks (NIST, ISO 27001).
- 5+ years managing complex ICFR/SOX compliance programs, ideally including experience standing up or transforming a SOX program during periods of rapid growth or M&A integration.
- Exceptional project management and strategic planning skills, with a track record of managing competing priorities across a global audit portfolio and communicating risk to executive and board-level audiences.
- Proven ability to recruit, develop, and retain top audit talent — building high-performance teams that punch above their weight in fast-paced, tech-forward environments.
- Experience with Salesforce, NetSuite, Workday and modern audit/GRC platforms preferred. Hands-on experience with data analytics, AI/ML-driven auditing techniques, and emerging AI governance frameworks is highly valued. Familiarity with how large-scale SaaS companies deploy and govern AI — and the associated risk and compliance implications — is a significant differentiator.

Tips for Your Internal Audit Job Search
Quantify audit findings on your resume
Internal audit hiring managers scan for measurable impact, not just duties. Replace vague descriptions with specifics like deficiencies identified, controls tested, or risk ratings assigned. Numbers signal audit rigor in a way that generic language never does.
List your CIA or CPA credential prominently
Certifications like CIA, CPA, CISA, and CFE are screening criteria, not bonus points. Put them in your resume header next to your name so recruiters catch them in the first three seconds, before they read a single bullet point.
Filter openings by industry, not just title
Internal audit roles in financial services demand different expertise than those in manufacturing or healthcare. Targeting by industry lets you match your audit background to employers who value it, which sharpens your application and interview focus.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists internal audit openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare a controls walkthrough for interviews
Many internal audit interviews include a technical exercise where you walk through a process, identify control gaps, and propose remediation. Practice articulating a real audit cycle end to end, from risk assessment through reporting, using plain business language.
Negotiate scope of work, not just base pay
When you receive an offer, ask about audit plan involvement, access to senior management, and reporting structure. Auditors who report directly to an audit committee have more independence and career visibility than those buried under a CFO or controller.
Internal Audit Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most internal audits?
The companies hiring the most internal audits right now include Goldman Sachs, Protiviti, and Coinbase, with the largest share of openings in California, New York, and Texas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Financial services, healthcare systems, and large manufacturers consistently drive the highest volume of internal audit hiring.
How many internal audit jobs are remote?
About 68% of internal audit openings are fully remote or hybrid as of August 2026, with fully on-site roles most common at regulated financial institutions and government entities. IT audit and continuous monitoring roles tend to offer the most remote flexibility, since their work is conducted in systems rather than physical locations.
How do you become an internal auditor?
Start with a bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or business. Gain foundational experience in public accounting, compliance, or a finance operations role where you work with controls and financial data. Pursue a CIA or CPA certification to meet employer screening criteria. Build familiarity with audit management tools and control frameworks like COSO, then apply to staff or associate auditor roles to begin your internal audit career.
Can you get an internal audit job with little experience?
Yes, entry-level internal audit roles exist for candidates who demonstrate analytical ability and attention to detail even without direct audit experience. Employers hiring at the staff level often accept candidates from public accounting, financial analysis, or compliance backgrounds. Completing a CIA exam part before applying signals commitment to the profession and can offset limited direct experience during the screening process.
What does the internal audit interview process look like?
Most internal audit interviews move through a recruiter screen, a hiring manager conversation focused on audit methodology and past engagements, and a panel interview with audit leadership or business partners. Technical questions typically cover how you plan an audit, identify control weaknesses, and communicate findings to management. Some employers add a written case study where you assess a process and draft observations.
Where can I find and apply to internal audit jobs?
You can find and apply to internal audit jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level, industry background, and location preference, then apply directly to each one that fits.
