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 Manager Job Search
Quantify audit findings on your resume
Recruiters hiring internal audit managers want to see impact, not just responsibilities. Replace vague bullets with specific outcomes: how many findings you escalated, how many controls you tested, or how many direct reports you managed across a given audit cycle.
Highlight your CIA or CPA credential early
Many internal audit manager postings filter on the CIA or CPA designation before a recruiter reads further. Put certifications in your resume header alongside your name, not buried in a separate section, so they clear automated screening without any ambiguity.
Filter openings by industry vertical first
Internal audit manager roles differ significantly across financial services, healthcare, and manufacturing in terms of regulatory focus and tooling. Narrow your search by industry before applying so your cover letter references the exact frameworks and regulators that employer faces.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists internal audit manager openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare a SOX control walkthrough example
Almost every internal audit manager interview includes a scenario question on Sarbanes-Oxley. Have a clear, rehearsed example ready that walks through a control deficiency you identified, the root cause you documented, and the remediation you recommended to management.
Negotiate scope before accepting an offer
Before signing, clarify whether you'll own the audit plan or execute someone else's, how many direct reports you'll have, and whether the function reports to the audit committee or only to the CFO. These structural details affect your autonomy and career progression more than title.
Internal Audit Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most internal audit managers?
The companies hiring the most internal audit managers 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 firms and large healthcare systems tend to maintain the most consistent hiring volume for this role year-round.
How many internal audit manager jobs are remote?
About 68% of internal audit manager openings are fully remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting growing employer flexibility for audit management work that doesn't require on-site physical inventory or plant observation. IT audit and SOX compliance sub-specializations tend to have the highest concentration of remote-eligible postings compared to operational or facilities audit roles.
How do you become an internal audit manager?
Most internal audit managers start in public accounting or a staff internal auditor role, earning a CPA or CIA certification along the way. From there, you build experience leading individual audits, then move into a senior auditor role where you supervise junior staff. The step into management typically requires demonstrating you can own an audit area end-to-end, communicate findings to executives, and develop team members independently.
Can you get an internal audit manager job with limited experience?
It's uncommon to move directly into an internal audit manager role without supervisory experience, but candidates from Big Four or large regional public accounting firms can sometimes make the jump earlier by leaning on the breadth of client industries they've audited. Earning your CIA before applying signals readiness for the role and compensates for a shorter internal audit tenure on your resume.
What does the internal audit manager interview process look like?
The process typically includes an initial HR screen, a technical interview focused on audit methodology and SOX controls, and a panel interview with the Chief Audit Executive and sometimes the Audit Committee chair. Many employers add a case study or written exercise asking you to design an audit plan for a specific business process. Reference checks are common before an offer is extended.
Where can I find and apply to internal audit manager jobs?
You can find and apply to internal audit manager jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your industry background and certifications, then apply directly to each one that fits.
