As an IT Audit Manager, you ll build and lead an IT audit function that helps Git Lab teams ship quickly while staying secure and compliant. You ll connect fast-moving engineering, IT operations, and security teams with a practical control environment that supports how modern systems actually run, across multi-cloud infrastructure, AI and machine learning systems, and Dev Sec Ops  practices.

You ll own end-to-end IT SOX program execution, design and test IT general controls and application controls, and use data analytics, automation, and GenAI tools to make audits more efficient, continuous, and insightful. Instead of handing off findings and walking away, you ll partner directly with leadership to turn those insights into concrete improvements in areas like cloud security, access management, and financial statement processes, positioning IT audit as a trusted advisor and strategic partner in Git Lab s growth.

What You’ll Do

• Lead end-to-end IT audits covering SOX compliance, multi-cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP), AI/ML systems, and application controls in complex environments.
• Design and execute testing of IT general controls, application controls, and entity-level controls, turning findings into clear, actionable improvements for technology and business teams.
• Manage the IT SOX program from planning through reporting, including risk-based scoping, coordination of co-source providers, documentation of risk and controls, and tracking of remediation efforts.
• Collaborate with engineering, IT operations, security, and business process owners to assess emerging risks, review new system implementations, and advise on practical, effective control designs.
• Drive audit innovation by using data analytics, automation, and GenAI tools to streamline procedures, implement continuous monitoring, and enhance audit quality and insight.
• Conduct walkthroughs and control evaluations across key financial statement processes (record to report, order to cash, hire to retire, procure to pay) and review SOC 1/SOC 2 reports for third-party vendors.
• Prepare clear, concise audit reports that explain issues, business impacts, and prioritized recommendations to senior leadership and other stakeholders.
• Mentor junior auditors and contribute to the evolution of IT audit methodologies, with a focus on emerging technologies, cybersecurity controls, and segregation of duties.

What You’ll Bring

• Experience leading end-to-end IT audit and SOX compliance programs in complex, fast-changing technology environments, including planning, fieldwork, reporting, and follow-up.
• Applied knowledge of IT general controls, application controls, entity-level controls, and key financial statement cycles (record-to-report, order-to-cash, hire-to-retire, procure-to-pay).
• Working knowledge of IT control and security frameworks (such as COBIT, NIST, ITIL, ISO 27001 and COSO) and how to interpret and apply them across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments.
• Hands-on familiarity with cloud platforms (for example AWS, Azure, GCP), cybersecurity concepts (network security, encryption, identity and access management, vulnerability management), and modern development practices (Agile, Dev Ops, or Dev Sec Ops ).
• Experience using data analytics, automation, and audit tools to design and execute testing, perform continuous monitoring, and improve audit quality and efficiency.
• Ability to translate technical risks and control issues into clear, actionable recommendations for business and technical stakeholders, including creating concise, executive-ready reports.
• Experience mentoring or guiding junior team members, collaborating with cross-functional partners, and managing multiple concurrent engagements with a…
