About The Position

Everpure is seeking a seasoned Senior Internal Audit Manager for a senior individual contributor role on its Internal Audit team. The role operates with significant autonomy and influence, leading complex, high-visibility operational audits and advisory engagements across the business and partnering directly with senior leaders to evaluate risk, strengthen processes, and inform business decisions. It emphasizes operational audits, business process and enterprise risk assessment, and strategic partnership—not SOX-focused work. The successful candidate will set the audit agenda for their coverage areas, identify emerging risks and improvement opportunities, drive sustainable remediation of systemic issues, and provide trusted risk, control, and process advice before key decisions are finalized. The role also advances audit quality and capability through analytics, automation, AI-enabled approaches, methodology improvements, and the development of other auditors. This is primarily an in-office position based in the Santa Clara, California office, subject to Everpure’s policies and approved leave or travel.

Requirements

At least 10 years of internal audit, operational audit, risk advisory, or related experience focused on business operational processes.
Track record of independently leading complex, high-visibility audits.
Experience mentoring colleagues at multiple levels, contributing to hiring, and shaping standards and practices for the broader function.
Deep understanding of business processes, enterprise and operational risk, risk assessment methodologies, and internal control concepts across diverse functional areas.
Ability to influence and partner with senior leaders and drive alignment, change, and remediation across functions without formal authority.
Experience identifying systemic issues, conducting root cause analysis, and driving sustainable remediation.
Experience conducting process walkthroughs, control testing, evidence evaluation, and audit reporting.
Proficiency using data analytics for risk assessment, audit planning, testing, and insight generation.
Hands-on experience using AI, audit technologies, or other emerging technologies to improve audit effectiveness and efficiency.
Strong business acumen and ability to provide practical, risk-based advisory support beyond traditional assurance engagements.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a record of senior leaders adopting recommendations and changing decisions as a result.
Experience supporting Internal Audit operations and improving audit processes, methodology, reporting, or functional capabilities.
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or a related field.
