About the role
An overview of this role
As a Senior Internal Auditor reporting to the Senior Manager, Technology Internal Audit, you’ll help GitLab assess risk and strengthen controls across a technology landscape that includes multi-cloud infrastructure, artificial intelligence and machine learning systems, and modern development practices.

- Design and test IT general controls, application controls, and entity-level controls with minimal supervision.
- Support the IT SOX program from planning through reporting, including risk-based audit planning, process walkthroughs, testing, and coordination with external co-source providers.
- Maintain clear, high-quality audit documentation, including risk and control matrices, process flows, test procedures, findings, and business impact assessments.
- Own remediation efforts by partnering with process owners on practical corrective action plans, validating effectiveness before closure, and preparing status updates for leadership.
- Collaborate with Engineering, IT Operations, Security, and business process owners to assess emerging risks and evaluate new system implementations for control adequacy and SOX relevance.
- Review controls across financial statement cycles, including record to report, order to cash, hire to retire, and procure to pay, as well as third-party System and Organization Controls 1 and 2 reports.
- Use data analytics, automation, and generative artificial intelligence tools to improve audit efficiency, coverage, and quality.
