From the original posting

Joining Legora means three things.

  • We lean in: ownership over titles, outcomes over intentions.

The Role

We're hiring an Internal Audit Manager to own our Business Process (BP) SOX controls program. You'll sit close to Finance and Internal Audit leadership, owning the risk assessment that shapes our controls universe and building testing processes from scratch.

This is a high-impact, high-ownership role for someone who wants to build a program, not just run one. You'll be the primary coordinator with external audit and our co-source partner, and you'll bring a modern, tech-forward lens — actively applying AI to reduce manual testing effort and find efficiencies as the function scales.

What You’ll Do

You'll work closely with Finance, process owners, external audit, and our co-source partner to build a rigorous, efficient business process controls program from the ground up.

More than that, we believe you will thrive by taking ownership of:

  • The end to end risk assessment process and translating it into a prioritized controls testing plan

  • Designing new testing processes, workpaper templates, and documentation frameworks from scratch

  • Coordinating with external audit and the co-source partner on timelines, deliverables, and open items for BP controls

  • Leading and performing control walkthroughs with process owners across the business

  • Assessing control deficiencies for severity and root cause, and driving remediation plans to completion

  • Developing and delivering training to control owners and stakeholders on control design and testing expectations

  • Implementing AI-driven and automated solutions to reduce manual testing and improve efficiency

  • Collaborating with stakeholders across Finance, IT, and the business as a trusted advisor

What You Bring

  • CPA, CIA, or similar certification

  • Big 4 or co-source firm experience

  • 5+ years of experience in internal audit, SOX/internal controls, or a related risk/compliance function, including experience managing or mentoring others

  • Demonstrated experience building or significantly enhancing a controls program or testing methodology from scratch

  • Strong track record managing external audit and/or co-source relationships

  • Hands-on experience performing and overseeing walkthroughs, testing, and deficiency evaluation

  • Proficiency with Auditboard, Vanta, NetSuite, Google Docs/Workspace, major LLM providers (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini), Salesforce, and Workday

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain control concepts to non-audit stakeholders

  • A high degree of ownership and comfort building process where none exists

Nice to Have

  • Experience building or scaling a controls function through a period of rapid growth

  • Prior experience applying AI or automation tools directly within an audit or testing workflow

  • Experience with data analytics or continuous monitoring tools (e.g., SQL, Power BI, Tableau, ACL)

  • Experience designing and delivering training programs to non-audit stakeholders

  • Background in a SOX-compliant or public-company-readiness environment

What’s In It For You

  • Global collaboration: Partner with teams and clients across Europe, APAC, and North America.

  • Competitive package: Comprehensive salary, benefits, and tools for success.

  • Meaningful work: Your efforts shape how thousands of lawyers use AI daily.

  • In-person environment: Union Square office designed for ambitious builders and company provided lunch daily.

  • Benefits & Perks: We invest in our people with a comprehensive, thoughtfully designed benefits package:
    Medical, Dental & Vision

    • Multiple medical plan options through Aetna and Kaiser Permanente

    • HSA or Healthcare FSA (based on plan selection)

    • Dental plans via MetLife

    • Vision plans via Vision Care

    Family Support

    • Generous parental leave

    • Free access to Maven Clinic

    • Dependent Care FSA

    • Free One Medical membership for employees and dependents

    Additional Perks

    • Pre-tax commuter benefits

    • Life Insurance + STD/LTD

    • 401(K) with generous company match

    • Unlimited PTO

    • Robust voluntary benefits, including identity protection (via Aura), legal coverage via MetLife, pet savings programs, and more
