Senior Technology Auditor

About The Team

Internal Audit is an independent and objective assurance and consulting function that supports Workday’s key business objectives and core values. We use a systematic, risk‑based approach to evaluate and improve operations, governance, risk management, and internal controls. Our focus includes emerging risks in cloud technology, security, and AI.

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 who is energized by the new risk frontier of AI and has a track record of building and scaling AI‑enabled tools and workflows for audit teams.

• 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.
• Act as a collaborative evangelist for modern audit techniques to 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.
• Plan and execute technology, security, and AI‑related audits across diverse 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.

• 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.

• Experience in designing and implementing systems.
• Experience with end‑to‑end audit delivery: planning, execution, and reporting, including integrated audits that address both operational and technology objectives.
• Strong curiosity about new tools and technologies, with a bias toward experimentation, learning by doing, and sharing what you learn.
• Ability to navigate ambiguity, manage multiple projects simultaneously, and take ownership to deliver on commitments.
• A collaborative mindset: you build solutions others can use, share knowledge openly, and coach teammates, rather than keeping…
