We specialize in placing high-quality vetted technology\nSome of our recent awards include:\n2022, 2021, 2020 Inc. 5000 fastest-growing private companies in America\n2022, 2021 SF Business Times 100 fastest-growing private companies in Bay Area\n Job Title: Internal Audit Manager\nLocation: San Francisco, CA\nMode: Contract- Hybrid\nPay: $95/hr - $105/hr on W2(Inclusive all)\nJob Summary\nWe are looking for an Internal Audit Manager to support the Director of Internal Audit, who leads two closely connected programs: the company's ongoing SOX testing program and a forward-looking SOX readiness workstream that evaluates new products, system implementations, and significant business changes before they go live.\nThis is not a program-leadership role - the Director and existing team own the programs themselves. Instead, this role is brought in to help design and stand up structure and governance around a handful of key initiatives that cut across both programs: things like a consistent intake and prioritization process for readiness reviews, a clearer reporting/status cadence, or a standardized set of templates and checkpoints that both teams currently lack or apply inconsistently.\nBeyond SOX, the role also supports the Director's broader work across Internal Audit - most notably, bringing structure to the department's AI-related initiatives (e.g., piloting AI tools for testing or documentation, evaluating use cases, coordinating with other teams on responsible use).\nThe scope will also flex to cover other initiatives and ad hoc priorities as they come up, so this person should be comfortable picking up new, loosely defined efforts and quickly figuring out how to organize them.\nThe ideal candidate is someone who's good at bringing order to ambiguous, cross-functional work - mapping out how something should run, documenting it, and helping it stick - without needing to own or run the underlying programs day to day.\nWhat You'll Do\nStructure & Governance for Key SOX Initiatives\nPartner with the Director to identify a small set of high-priority initiatives where the testing and readiness programs would benefit from clearer structure, process, or governance.\nHelp design intake, prioritization, and tracking processes - for example, how new system implementations or product launches enter the readiness pipeline and get triaged.\nDevelop templates, checklists, and RACI frameworks (e.g., control impact assessments, go-live readiness checkpoints) that can be reused consistently across initiatives.\nHelp establish a lightweight reporting and status cadence that gives the Director and stakeholders visibility into progress on these initiatives without adding heavy overhead.\nDocument processes and decisions as they're established, so governance structures are clear and repeatable rather than living in individual people's heads.\nAI Initiatives Across Internal Audit Help organize and track the department's AI-related initiatives - pilots, tool evaluations, use cases - so they're visible and coordinated rather than scattered across individual efforts.\nSupport the development of lightweight governance around AI use in audit work (e.g., intake for new use cases, documentation of what's been tried, basic risk/responsible-use considerations).\nCoordinate with stakeholders inside and outside Internal Audit on AI-related efforts, and help synthesize findings or recommendations for the Director.\nHelp identify and prioritize which AI initiatives are worth pursuing further versus parking.\nGeneral Support & Ad Hoc Initiatives\nTake on other initiatives and activities as they arise, bringing the same structure-first approach: understanding the goal, mapping out a workable process, and documenting it.\nAct as a flexible extra set of hands for the Director on whatever is the current priority, whether that's a one-off project, a piece of research, or help preparing for an important meeting or decision.\nCross-Functional Support\nCoordinate with stakeholders across engineering, product, finance transformation, and the SOX team to gather input and buy-in on new processes and structures.\nHelp prepare materials (status updates, process documentation, summaries) that the Director can use in leadership or Audit Committee conversations.\nTrack open items and follow-ups related to the specific initiatives in scope, flagging risks or delays to the Director.\nContinuous Improve mentIdentify gaps or inconsistencies in how programs and initiatives currently coordinate, and propose practical fixes.\nPilot new templates or processes on a small scale before recommending broader rollout.\nIncorporate feedback from the Director and team to refine governance structures over time.\nWhat You'll Bring 7+ years of experience in internal audit, SOX compliance, risk/controls, program management, or a chief-of-staff role supporting an audit, finance, or compliance function.\nDemonstrated ability to build structure and process from scratch in ambiguous, cross-functional environments - not just operate within an existing framework.\nComfort working across a mix of structured (SOX) and less-defined (AI initiatives, ad hoc projects) workstreams at the same time.\nFamiliarity with SOX/COSO concepts and internal controls; direct SOX testing experience is a plus but not required if process/governance design experience is strong.\nInterest in or exposure to AI tools and use cases is a plus - this person doesn't need deep technical AI expertise, but should be comfortable helping organize and evaluate AI-related efforts.\nExperience with GRC platforms (e.g., Optro, Archer, or similar) or comparable project/workflow tracking tools.\nStrong written communication skills, including experience documenting processes and preparing materials for leadership audiences.\nGood stakeholder management skills - able to work credibly with engineering and product teams as well as finance and audit colleagues.\nComfortable juggling a small portfolio of focused initiatives rather than owning broad day-to-day program operations.\nBachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, Information Systems, or related field.\n All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6330,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":7,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-02T14:50:05Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Filed H-1B visas in the last two years","filings_12m":0,"filings_prev_12m":1,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-03T21:08:04+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":73,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.77,"p_room":0.945,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":9,"reasons":["conf:1","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-06T05:45:30Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":210000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/trident-consulting-internal-audit-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/trident-consulting-internal-audit-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-06T23:04:46Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4060,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":940,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-07T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":690486},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=690486"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ftrident-consulting-internal-audit-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ftrident-consulting-internal-audit-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ftrident-consulting-internal-audit-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/trident-consulting-internal-audit-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftrident-consulting-internal-audit-manager"}]}
