Director, Internal Controls & Risk Management

About the role

We are seeking an experienced leader to build and grow our internal audit, risk management, and governance function. This role requires someone who can see the potential in controls and can help the business move faster with confidence.

Responsibilities

• Earn the room. Build a trusted, credible internal audit presence that Finance, IT, and Operations partners want to engage, collaborate with, and learn from.
• Mature our SOX program. Evaluate our risk-based internal audit plan, close any control gaps, and evolve our controls testing from early-stage to a repeatable, scalable annual cycle with expanded coverage and clean external auditor coordination.
• Bring AI and automation to internal audit. Evaluate and implement AI-driven audit tools to increase testing efficiency, reduce manual work, and position our audit function as a model for what modern, tech-forward internal audit looks like.
• Own our governance cadence. Run quarterly disclosure committee meetings, prepare audit committee materials, and coordinate across Legal, Finance, and leadership to ensure our reporting is timely, accurate, and board-ready.
• Expand our ERM program. Build on our existing enterprise risk management foundation—maturing our risk assessment process so it meaningfully informs both the audit plan and business decisions.

Requirements

• You make people want to prioritize controls — at every level. From the CFO and audit committee to the IT manager who owns a key system, you know how to frame risk in a way that drives decisions and earns ownership.
• You have a real playbook for this, and a track record of making compliance feel like an enabler, not a burden, even in fast-moving, dynamic environments.
• You're a builder who thrives without a blueprint. You've designed programs from scratch, know how to sequence what to tackle first, and don't wait for perfect conditions to make progress.
• You communicate up and across with equal clarity. Whether it's an audit committee presentation or a working session with an IT system owner, you translate complex risk into language that lands.
• You have hands-on experience with complex and evolving tech stacks including SAP S4 Hana, Netsuite, Shopify, Microsoft Entra, GitHub, Data Dog, Google Cloud Platform.
• You’re excited about the opportunity to build a modern-day AI forward Internal Audit function. The landscape for compliance is changing and you want to be at the forefront of this.
• You balance accountability with empathy. Clear on expectations and timelines, collaborative in how you get there. You can hold the line and navigate difficult conversations while maintaining strong cross-functional relationships.

• You have at least 10 years of experience in internal audit, risk management, or a related field.
