• Ensure reports adhere to firm standards, professional guidelines (AICPA), and internal QA frameworks.
• Identify inconsistencies, gaps, or risks in audit documentation and provide actionable feedback to audit teams.
• Drive standardization across reports, templates, and QA processes.
• Partner with audit, delivery, and operations teams to implement process improvements without compromising QA integrity.
• Contribute to the development and maintenance of QA checklists, playbooks, and review methodologies.
• Mentor and support junior QA team members as the team scales.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience in SOC 1 and/or SOC 2 audits.
• Strong understanding of AICPA standards, SOC reporting requirements, and internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR).

• Solid technical knowledge of modern technology stacks (e.g., cloud infrastructure, SaaS environments, security controls).
• Exceptional attention to detail with the ability to identify nuanced issues in complex reports.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to provide clear, constructive feedback.
• Experience developing or improving QA processes, frameworks, or standards.
• Ability to manage multiple reviews and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• CPA, CISA, or equivalent certification (or in progress).

Bonus Points

• Experience with additional frameworks (e.g., ISO 27001, HITRUST, PCI DSS).
• Background in IT audit, cybersecurity, or risk advisory.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• Experience working in or with high-growth audit or compliance organizations.
• Prior experience building or scaling QA functions or teams.
