About the role

You won't spend your days grinding through workpapers in isolation.
You'll be the connective tissue between clients, the audit work itself, and the product being built to scale it - reviewing outputs, validating documentation, identifying gaps, and shaping the workflows and prompts that let AI do audit work well.
This is an early employee role at a startup.

Help clients interpret AI-generated work product and build confidence in the platform over time.
Review and validate AI-generated audit procedures, workpapers, and documentation for accuracy and completeness.
Building AI-driven solutions with engineering & product
Partner closely with engineering and product to translate audit expertise into AI accuracy, reliability, and audit-awareness - you're a primary source of ground truth for the model.
Build quality review frameworks, checklists, and methodologies purpose-built for AI-assisted audits.
Document best practices and build out our internal knowledge base as the team scales.

2-6 years of audit or related experience with a foundation in audit methodology.
Experience applying that background outside a traditional audit environment (industry, consulting, innovation roles, etc.).
Comfort working with technology, AI tools, and iterative, fast-changing workflows.
General familiarity with the audit process or related functions such as IT audits and financial management.
Strong analytical skills and exceptional attention to detail - you catch what others miss.
Excellent written communication
you can document a judgment call so someone else can follow your reasoning.
Strong client-facing skills - comfortable onboarding clients, fielding questions, and building trust directly.

Hands-on experience using AI tools to improve audit or analytical work.
Strong, well-reasoned opinions about inefficiencies or gaps in traditional audit practice.
A track record of designing processes, templates, checklists, or systems that others actually adopted.
Experience in a startup or other fast-paced, unstructured environment.
High ownership and direct influence over product, methodology, and the future of audit automation - your judgment calls become the system's judgment calls.
