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 IT Audit Manager Job Search
Align your resume to audit frameworks
IT audit managers are evaluated against specific frameworks like COBIT, NIST, and ISO 27001. Your resume should name the frameworks you've worked within and describe the control assessments or remediation efforts you led under each one.
Highlight your certification portfolio clearly
CISA, CISSP, and CISM appear in the majority of it audit manager postings. List yours in a dedicated certifications section near the top of your resume, and note the issuing body and year so hiring managers can verify them at a glance.
Target openings by industry compliance focus
SOX auditing dominates financial services postings, while HIPAA controls drive healthcare openings. Filter your search by industry first, then match your audit specialization to the compliance framework the employer names in the job description.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists it 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 for technical and control walkthroughs
Interviewers commonly ask you to walk through how you scoped a past audit, identified control gaps, and reported findings to leadership. Prepare two or three concrete examples that show both your technical judgment and your ability to communicate risk to non-technical stakeholders.
Negotiate scope and team size, not just title
When evaluating offers, ask about audit cycle frequency, team headcount, and whether the role owns the audit plan or executes against one set by a third party. These details affect your day-to-day autonomy more than the title does.
IT Audit Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most it audit managers?
The companies hiring the most it audit managers right now include Sikich, Baker Tilly Canada, and Coinbase, with the largest share of openings in California, Virginia, and Texas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Financial institutions, large healthcare systems, and public accounting firms consistently account for a significant portion of open roles.
How many it audit manager jobs are remote?
About 76% of it audit manager openings are fully remote or hybrid as of August 2026, making it one of the more flexible senior audit roles. Sub-areas like policy review, risk assessment documentation, and GRC platform work tend to be the most remote-compatible, while roles requiring on-site system access or physical control testing are more likely to require in-person presence.
How do you become an it audit manager?
Start in an IT audit analyst or associate role at a public accounting firm or internal audit department, where you build hands-on experience testing IT general controls and documenting findings. Earn your CISA certification to validate your technical audit knowledge. Progress to senior auditor, lead increasingly complex engagements, and develop skills in reporting risk to executive stakeholders before stepping into a manager role.
Can you get hired as an it audit manager without direct managerial experience?
Yes, especially if you've led audit engagements as a senior auditor, even without a formal people-management title. Employers often prioritize deep technical audit experience, strong control framework knowledge, and the ability to coordinate workstreams over having previously held a manager title. Emphasizing project leadership, mentoring junior staff, and ownership of audit deliverables can close the gap in your application.
What does the it audit manager interview process look like?
Most processes run three to four rounds. An initial screen with HR or a recruiter focuses on your background and certifications. A technical interview with the audit director or CISO tests your knowledge of control frameworks, audit methodology, and common findings. A final round typically includes a case study or presentation where you walk through how you'd scope and execute an audit engagement, followed by a conversation with senior leadership.
Where can I find and apply to it audit manager jobs?
You can find and apply to it audit manager jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the United States. Search the available roles, find the ones that match your background and target industry, and apply directly to each listing from the same place.
