About The Position
As an Information Technology Audit Associate you'll be an essential member of our team, helping us partner with a diverse range of clients—from high-tech startups to established market leaders in and around Silicon Valley. You'll focus on technology-based compliance engagements, working on projects that include System and Organization Controls (SOC) reporting (SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3), ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and in the future, ISO 42001. We view our role as not just auditors but as advisors, helping clients build stronger security and compliance postures. This is an excellent opportunity for an entry-level candidate with an interest in technology compliance to build and expand their skills. We are looking for a self-starter with a proactive approach who will thrive in a fast-paced and results-driven environment. You'll have the chance to work with various clients, gradually taking on more complex assignments and responsibilities to grow. We are a collaborative team that supports one another. Our senior management works closely with each associate to facilitate learning and career growth, ensuring you have the support needed to succeed. This position is based out of the Bay Area. You will be expected to work in our San Francisco or San Jose office three days per week. We would like the start date to be before the end of May 2026, but the exact date can be flexible. This is a temporary-to-permanent position. This role will begin as a temporary arrangement lasting approximately three months, with potential to transition immediately to a permanent role. The initial temporary period can be part-time or full-time pending your scheduling needs, especially if you are finishing school. Our hope is to identify a high-performing hire who demonstrates a commitment to pursuing this career path, leading to a long-term, permanent arrangement.
