Qualifications

• Seasoned professional with extensive operations audit experience.
• Strong business process and enterprise risk knowledge.

• Ability to collaborate with senior leaders and influence decisions.

Responsibilities

• Lead complex, ambiguous, and high-visibility operational audits and advisory engagements from planning through reporting, often spanning multiple functions, systems, or geographies, with full accountability for quality, timelines, and deliverables.
• Set the risk assessment and audit agenda for your areas of coverage, determining scope, depth, priorities, and appropriate trade-offs.

• Prepare and present clear, concise audit reports that communicate findings, business impact, root causes, and recommended actions to senior stakeholders.
• Leverage data analytics, predictive techniques, AI, and emerging technologies to enhance risk identification, audit coverage, insight, efficiency, and quality, while applying appropriate professional judgment and validation.
• Build durable, repeatable solutions - through automation, standardized methodology, or AI-enabled approaches - that are adopted beyond your own engagements and continue to operate without requiring your ongoing involvement.
• Serve as a trusted advisor to business and functional leaders, proactively bringing a risk, control, and process point of view into strategic initiatives and key business decisions before they are finalized - and being direct when you disagree with the course being taken.
• Support Internal Audit operations and broader CFO organization initiatives, including planning, performance metrics, methodology for IA and Finance-org wide learning, capability building, and talent development.

Job description

Everpure (NYSE: P) has evolved from storage pioneer to data platform, closing fiscal 2026 with $3.7 billion in revenue, its first billion-dollar quarter, and accelerating growth into FY27. Our strategic agenda spans the companies defining the next era of technology - hyperscalers, AI labs, the AI hardware supply chain, data platform providers, and the broader AI ecosystem.

This type of work-work that changes the world-is what the tech industry was founded on. So, if you're ready to seize the endless opportunities and leave your mark, come join us.

THE ROLE

Everpure is seeking a seasoned Senior Internal Audit Manager to join our Internal Audit team. In this senior individual contributor role, you will operate with significant autonomy and influence, leading our most complex and highest-visibility operational audits across the business and partnering directly with senior leaders to evaluate risk, strengthen processes, and shape how the business makes decisions. This position requires strong business acumen, excellent analytical and communication skills, and the ability to independently manage complex audits from planning through reporting, while bringing a point of view that senior stakeholders seek out before decisions are made.

The ideal candidate brings deep operational audit experience, business process and enterprise risk expertise, data analytics capabilities, and a passion for leveraging emerging technologies, including the use of AI embedded into audit activities to improve audit quality and efficiency. You hold yourself and the function to a standard of integrity that never bends to timeline pressure, and you escal control or policy gaps with a proposed solution, not a workaround. Beyond executing audits, this role sets the agenda for its areas of coverage, drives durable remediation of systemic risks across the organization, serves as a sought-after voice before key decisions are made, and raises the standard for the broader audit function. This is NOT a SOX-focused role. Instead, the position emphasizes operational audits, business process and enterprise risk assessment, and strategic partnership across the organization.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Lead complex, ambiguous, and high-visibility operational audits and advisory engagements from planning through reporting, often spanning multiple functions, systems, or geographies, with full accountability for quality, timelines, and deliverables.
• Set the risk assessment and audit agenda for your areas of coverage, determining scope, depth, priorities, and appropriate trade-offs.

• Prepare and present clear, concise audit reports that communicate findings, business impact, root causes, and recommended actions to senior stakeholders.
