Job description

NVIDIA has been transforming computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for more than 25 years. It’s a unique legacy of innovation fueled by great technology and amazing people. In 2026, NVIDIA is tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing. As an NVIDIAN, you’ll be immersed in a diverse, supportive environment that inspires everyone to do their best work.

What you’ll be doing:

Order-to-Cash Audit Coverage

• Evaluate control design and effectiveness over channel partner programs, distributor agreements, rebate accruals, and related‑party transactions; monitor emerging risks in revenue assurance, channel risks, and pricing integrity as NVIDIA expands its data center and AI product lines.
• Partner with Finance and Sales Operations to assess risk in deal structuring, contract management, and go‑to‑market compliance; collaborate with the SOX PMO function on related controls and determine a risk‑based audit plan.

Legal & Regulatory Compliance Audit Coverage

• Design and supervise audits covering global trade compliance, anti‑bribery and anti‑corruption (FCPA, UK Bribery Act), data privacy (GDPR, CCPA/CPRA), and antitrust/competition law adherence.
• Assess the effectiveness of NVIDIA’s Code of Conduct, ethics hotline program, conflict‑of‑interest disclosures, and third‑party due diligence frameworks; collaborate with the Legal, Compliance, and Government Affairs teams to identify regulatory developments affecting audit scope and risk landscape.

Human Resources Audit Coverage

• Lead HR audits spanning payroll, compensation/equity, talent acquisition, and HR system access controls; evaluate adherence to employment law across NVIDIA’s global workforce.
• Assess organizational culture and ethics indicators—training completion, speak‑up program trends, and exit data—as leading signals of control environment health.

What we need to see:

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in Accounting, Finance, Business, or a related field; CIA or CFE preferred.
• 12+ overall years of progressive internal audit, public accounting, or compliance experience.
• 4+ years in a leadership/management role.
• Proven ability to communicate complex audit findings clearly and persuasively to senior executives and Board‑level audiences.
• Strong command of risk‑based audit methodologies, the IIA Standards, and the COSO Internal Control Framework.
• Demonstrated ability to build and maintain a dynamic, risk‑based audit plan that reflects current business risk, integrating inputs from ERM and business/executive leadership.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary range: 232,000USD – 356,500USD, determined by location, experience, and internal comparable compensation.
• Equity and comprehensive benefits package available to eligible employees.
• Benefits include health, dental, vision, retirement plans, and additional employee programs; see NVIDIA Benefits for details.
