About The Position
ModMed is seeking a Director of Internal Audit to be a "hands-on" leader responsible for building the Internal Audit function from the ground up. This role is pivotal in preparing the company for public market readiness, specifically leading the design, implementation, and testing of our Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance program. You will partner with business leaders to optimize risk management, identify and strengthen controls, and ensure operational efficiency across the organization.
Requirements
- 8+ years of progressive experience in internal audit and/or public accounting (Big 4 preferred).
- Proven track record of leading or significantly contributing to a SOX implementation, preferably in a high-growth technology environment.
- Expert-level ability to apply professional skepticism and judgment when evaluating control gaps.
- Proficient in using SEC and PCAOB criteria to classify findings as Control Deficiencies, Significant Deficiencies, or Material Weaknesses.
- Ability to evaluate the "could factor" (potential for material misstatement) and the "prudent official" test, with the confidence to defend these classifications to the CAO, External Audit partners, and the Audit Committee.
- Proven ability to navigate sensitive internal situations with diplomacy.
- Must possess the "soft skills" to challenge the status quo and push for accountability while maintaining positive, productive professional relationships.
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance is required.
- CPA or CIA certification is mandatory.
- Must be willing to perform the detailed testing and documentation yourself while maintaining the "big picture" strategic view.
- Advanced proficiency in NetSuite (or similar ERP) and experience with SOX compliance software/work-paper tools (i.e., Workiva).
- Ability to explain complex control concepts to non-accounting stakeholders in a way that builds partnership rather than friction.
Nice To Haves
- Masters degree preferred.
- CISA is a strong plus given the IT audit focus.
- Experience in the Software/SaaS industry is highly preferred.
Responsibilities
- Lead the end-to-end SOX implementation, including scoping, process mapping, risk-control matrices (RCMs), and deficiency remediation.
- Develop and execute a flexible, risk-based annual audit plan that covers financial, operational, and IT security risks.
- Analyze current business processes and provide actionable recommendations to improve the control environment without sacrificing operational speed.
- Act as the primary liaison with external auditors to coordinate timing, scope, and reliance on internal control testing to maximize audit efficiency.
- Present findings and remediation progress regularly to the CAO and the Audit Committee.
- Manage third-party consultants/vendors to support audits.
- As the company grows, transition from a solo contributor to a leader by hiring and mentoring a high-performing internal audit team.
- Establish yourself as a "Trusted Advisor" across the organization by building high-trust, transparent relationships with department heads.
- Foster an environment where business owners feel empowered to proactively disclose control gaps or process breakdowns without fear of retribution, focusing the function on collective problem-solving rather than "gotcha" findings.

- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits, including a company Health Savings Account contribution
- 401(k): ModMed provides a matching contribution each payday of 50% of your contribution deferred on up to 6% of your compensation. After one year of employment with ModMed, 100% of any matching contribution you receive is yours to keep.
