With 15M+ monthly users, 130B+ annual messages, and a team of fewer than 200, we move fast, stay lean, and tackle technical problems at a scale few companies ever see. The Internal Audit team is a lean, high-impact function in the middle of a meaningful build. We're maturing our SOX program, deepening our partnership with IT and engineering to streamline how controls are executed and review documentation is managed, and working toward an increasingly effective and scalable IT control environment. The team's mandate spans four pillars — SOX compliance, enterprise risk management, fraud risk management, and operational audit — and the IT SOX Manager will be the owner who makes the IT program run. Reporting to the Director of Internal Audit, this role is the bridge between external, auditors and internal teams — driving control execution at a higher level and expanding the team's capacity to go deeper on enterprise risk, fraud risk, and operational audit.

Smart, driven people who raise your bar, with room to live full lives. This is a hybrid role based in our NYC office and will require you to be in person Tuesdays and Thursdays. About the Job: - Own and manage Grindr's IT General Controls program end-to-end — scoping, user access reviews, control design, testing, and remediation tracking across all SOX-relevant systems and processes - Serve as the primary liaison between external auditors and Grindr's internal IT and engineering teams, translating control requirements into clear, actionable guidance and driving issues to resolution - Lead IT risk assessments for new systems, integrations, and technology changes — advising on control design before risks become findings - Coach and guide internal stakeholders on SOX compliance requirements, building accountability and institutional knowledge across the org - Partner with the Director of Internal Audit on enterprise risk management, fraud risk, and operational audit initiatives as the team scales its capacity Role Requirements: - 3–5+ years of experience in IT audit, IT risk advisory, or SOX IT general controls — Big 4 background strongly preferred; a mix of Big 4 and high-growth technology industry experience is the sweet spot - Hands-on expertise with IT general controls testing: user access reviews, change management, SDLC controls, and computer operations - Deep working knowledge of SOX Section 404 requirements and PCAOB standards as they apply to IT environments - AI-native — you actively leverage AI tools in your workflow and continuously identify opportunities to improve efficiency, accuracy, and scalability across audit and risk activities - Proven ability to implement AI-driven solutions within a SOX environment — streamlining control execution, enhancing testing approaches, and reducing manual overhead while maintaining audit quality and compliance - Proven ability to communicate clearly with both technical teams (engineers, IT) and non-technical stakeholders (finance, leadership) - Comfort navigating a fast-moving, ambiguous technology environment — you've seen what good looks like at scale and can build toward it - CPA, CIA, or CISA preferred You May Thrive in this Role if You: - Are energized by building structure where it doesn't yet exist — this role has real whitespace and genuine program ownership - Can serve as the connective tissue between auditors, engineers, and finance leadership — translating across those worlds without losing the thread - Have a high slope — you get better fast, take feedback and run with it, and are always looking for smarter, more scalable ways to work - Own the outcome, not just the task — you want to run the program, build the function, and make it better every cycle Benefits and Perks: - Health, Dental & Vision Full premium coverage for you.
