THE ROLE
You will be the driving force behind the Internal Audit function's future, leading the charge to integrate Artificial Intelligence into core business processes. Reporting to the VP of Internal Audit, your mission is to lead near-term AI workforce training for the CFO organization and accelerate Internal Audit’s own adoption of AI. The role drives Internal Audit’s data analytics agenda and participates in system implementation projects as needed, including data migration validation and targeted IT risk activities. Over time, the scope expands across Internal Audit, Risk Management & Advisory, and CFO-organization learning and development.
This is a unique individual contributor role offering high visibility, a direct path to organizational impact, and the chance to shape our business advisory brand for years to come.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Pioneer the integration of Artificial Intelligence across the Internal Audit function, establishing responsible-AI guardrails, developing prompt libraries, and implementing quality checks to ensure process integrity and accelerate daily operations.
- Own, build, and scale Internal Audit’s data analytics engine—including curated datasets, repeatable scripts, and executive-level dashboards—to revolutionize risk assessment, planning, and testing efficiency for greater business impact.
- Design and deliver high-impact AI enablement training programs for the CFO organization, including curricula and hands-on labs, to foster technology adoption and drive measurable business outcomes.
- Provide critical system implementation and technology risk assurance by leading data migration validation efforts and advising cross-functional teams on the design and evaluation of IT General Controls (ITGC) to secure major business systems.
- We are primarily an in-office environment and therefore, you will be expected to work from the Santa Clara office in compliance with Pure’s policies, unless you are on PTO, or work travel, or other approved leave.
WHAT YOU BRING
- Deep Proficiency in Applied AI: Hands-on experience with advanced AI tools (e.g., Gemini, ChatGPT) and the ability to define, implement, and govern Responsible-AI guardrails and quality checks for enterprise use.
- Expert Data Analytics & Automation: Mastery of analytics, automation, and visualization tools (e.g., SQL, Python, Tableau, Snowflake) with a proven track record of translating complex data into clear, actionable executive insights.
- Technology Risk and Assurance Depth: Comprehensive understanding of technology risk domains, including IT General Controls (ITGC), cloud environments, data governance, and cybersecurity, typically gained from senior assurance roles in a public company setting.
- Strategic Enablement & Influence: Exceptional ability to design and deliver technical training/enablement programs for finance and cross-functional teams, coupled with the communication and stakeholder management skills to influence strategic outcomes without direct authority.
