About the Role
Okta is building the trusted, neutral infrastructure to enable organizations to safely embrace AI. This role will own the day-to-day build, adoption, and measurement of Okta Internal Audit's AI automation program, turning auditor problem statements into working tools and representing Internal Audit across Finance and company-wide AI networks. This is a hands-on delivery role focused on shipping tools and driving value.
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain AI automations across all Internal Audit functions using the department's existing AI Hub and SOX testing engine.
- Manage the problem statement intake pipeline, prioritizing the backlog and providing clear dispositions for submissions.

- Surface delivery risk early and contribute to periodic AI Value Reports.
- Support executive and Audit Committee-ready materials that translate hours saved into dollar value and strategic audit impact.
- Maintain regular check-ins with each Working Group and coordinate the Bi-Weekly Showcase cadence.
- Track each group against its phased plan and flag delivery risk early.
- Assist Working Group leads in sequencing deliverables against the overall automation backlog.
- Track individual participation against department expectations and reach out directly to team members with no recorded participation.
- Lead team communication by highlighting auditor benefits from participation.
- Maintain the AI Hub knowledge repository and AI Learning Catalog, keeping resources current and tracked at the individual level.
- Follow up individually with anyone below learning pace.
- Represent Internal Audit in cross-functional and company-wide AI initiatives, contributing IA's automation learnings and returning external intelligence.
- Measure success by bidirectional value: what IA contributes to the enterprise, and what the enterprise contributes back.
Requirements
- CPA, CIA, CISA, or other relevant certification (active or in progress); CISA preferred.
- 3–6 years of internal audit experience across at least two disciplines (internal audit, IT audit, SOX business process, SOX ITAC/ITGC, or data analytics).
