About the role

We are seeking an experienced and highly curious Senior Technology Auditor to lead technology-, security-, and AI-related audits. This role is ideal for someone energized by the new risk frontier of AI and who has a track record of building and scaling AI-enabled tools and workflows for audit teams (not just for personal use).

Responsibilities

  • Help lead audits focused on technology, security, and AI/ML/LLM-powered systems and services.
  • Design and implement AI-enabled solutions that improve how the audit team plans, tests, and reports.
  • As a collaborative evangelist for modern audit techniques, help move the function beyond the status quo.
  • Partner closely with stakeholders across the business, provide deep technical and AI expertise, and serve as a trusted advisor on risks and controls.

Requirements

  • Plan and execute technology, security, and AI-related audits across a diverse set of systems and platforms, including risk assessment, scoping, fieldwork, documentation, testing, and reporting.
  • Identify and assess technology and AI risks (e.g., generative AI, ML models, automated decisioning, AI-enabled third-party services) and translate them into clear control expectations and audit procedures.
  • Design, build, and maintain AI-enabled tools, scripts, and workflows (e.g., LLM-assisted testing, automated analytics, continuous auditing routines) for use by the broader audit team.
  • Collaborate with teammates to embed these tools into day-to-day audit work, provide training and documentation, and actively drive adoption across the function.
  • Leverage Workday's technology platforms and applications, including LLM-based and other AI-enabled tools, to improve audit efficiency, coverage, and insight.
  • Ensure quality and consistency of audit work in line with departmental and professional standards, and continuously seek opportunities to improve audit processes and methodologies.
  • Develop and maintain strong working relationships with teammates and management, building a solid understanding of the business and ensuring audit client satisfaction.
  • Continuously develop and expand knowledge of the audit profession, emerging technologies, AI and security trends, and Workday products through self-study, research, and continuing education.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in technology audit, information security, or a related field.
  • 2+ years of experience with public and/or private cloud and software-defined infrastructure environments, or equivalent.
  • 2+ years of experience in diverse technology environments (e.g., operating systems, networks, third-party cloud-based applications and platforms).
  • 2+ years of experience with technology operational processes (e.g., software development lifecycle, system integration and monitoring, data protection, identity and access management).
  • Hands-on experience using AI tools or AI-enabled workflows to improve audit processes and testing techniques, automate tasks, enhance data analysis, or streamline systems.
  • Demonstrated experience creatively advancing AI- or analytics-driven audit techniques and methodologies for the audit team.
  • Experience assessing emerging risks related to generative AI, machine-learning models, automated decisioning, and AI-enabled third-party services.
