About The Position

This role is an opportunity to do career-defining work at Okta, a company focused on securing AI by building trusted, neutral infrastructure. The Senior, Internal Audit AI Enablement & Automation will own the day-to-day build, adoption, and measurement of Okta Internal Audit's AI automation program. This is a hands-on delivery role focused on scaling the existing AI enablement engine by building tools, managing the problem statement pipeline, tracking metrics, and representing Internal Audit in company-wide AI networks.

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)
Sufficient audit technical depth to build automations that meet Internal Audit quality standards — including evidence documentation, workpaper integrity, and SOX testing requirements across financial and IT controls
Demonstrated ability to build or operate AI tools, automations, or structured prompt workflows applied to real audit work
Demonstrated ability to represent a team or function in cross-functional settings — can prepare, present, and defend a point of view to audiences outside Internal Audit, including Finance leadership and enterprise program stakeholders
Comfortable managing multiple concurrent workstreams with defined deliverables and deadlines
Strong written communication skills — able to translate technical output into plain-language narratives for non-technical audiences
Hands-on experience with AI productivity tools (Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, or equivalent)

Nice To Haves

Big 4 public accounting or IT audit advisory experience
Experience with audit management platforms (AuditBoard, Workiva, or equivalent)
Experience coordinating working groups, project timelines, or cross-functional initiatives
Experience representing a function or team in cross-functional working groups, communities of practice, or enterprise-level program networks
Background in learning content curation or enablement program support
Familiarity with basic scripting, API concepts, or no-code/low-code workflow tools
Experience auditing within cloud-based or SaaS environments
Awareness of AI governance, ethics, and emerging risks (model bias, data privacy, hallucination risks)

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 maintaining visibility into open problem statements.
Maintain the AI Impact Dashboard with accurate, function-level attribution and protect the integrity of the measurement methodology.
Surface delivery risk early, contribute to periodic AI Value Reports, and support executive and Audit Committee-ready materials.
Maintain regular check-ins with each Working Group, coordinate the Bi-Weekly Showcase cadence, and track each group against its phased plan.
Flag delivery risk early and assist Working Group leads in sequencing deliverables against the overall automation backlog.
Track individual participation against department expectations and reach out directly one-on-one to any team member with no recorded participation.
Lead every team communication with what auditors gain from participating, not what is required of them.
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 back into the IA tool-building program.
