We are searching for a hands-on Internal Audit Manager to build out the Internal Controls function for a growing private equity firm. The position will oversee the planning, execution and reporting for the company’s SOC1 Type 2 report, and will grow out the internal audit function for the company over the coming years.

Company / Team / Position highlights:

• This is a brand-new function for the company, thus the hired individual will have visibility with internal business partners (including Senior Management and C-Level) as they drive this function forward.
• The position will interact internally with Global Compliance, Finance & Accounting, Information Technology, and Investment Teams. Externally, the role will eventually become the main point of contact with an outsourced Big 4 Risk Advisory team that is helping the company stand up this function.

• The position doesn’t have internal direct reports from day one, however the company is growing thus the hired individual will have the opportunity to expand the internal audit function in scope once the SOC 1 Type 2 certification is completed and the function is running smoothly & the team will grow as well.
• Excellent leadership above, with a track record of investing into the company for future growth – adding talent to the teams early, allowing for internal movement for professional development and supporting many other employee development programs & certifications.
• Great company culture, beautiful office space, strong healthcare benefits, 401k match, 3/2 hybrid schedule (3 days in office, 2 days work from home), competitive compensation package, nice perks (such as free chef catered lunch served in office a couple of days per week) and more!
