• Background in Big 4, internal audit, IT audit, risk advisory, or public accounting.

• Experience in a customer-facing role covering implementation, consulting, professional services, or customer success on top of the audit background.
• Experience helping an organization adopt a new tool or a materially new process.

Responsibilities

• Season controls to fine-tune attributes and provide missing business context as environments change.
• Train and coach internal audit teams on the product, run office hours during peak testing periods, build a bench of power users.
• Advise on the audit work itself, not just the software: how a control should be tested and what evidence is sufficient.

• Coordinate setup and integrations with customer IT and SSO, and with GRC and ticketing systems such as AuditBoard, Workiva, ServiceNow, and Jira.
• Bring patterns back to product and engineering: what customers keep asking for and what would take the most work off the table.
