Join Axon and be a Force for Good.
At Axon, we’re on a mission to Protect Life. We’re explorers, pursuing society’s most critical safety and justice issues with our ecosystem of devices and cloud software. Like our products, we work better together. We connect with candor and care, seeking out diverse perspectives from our customers, communities and each other.
Life at Axon is fast-paced, challenging and meaningful. Here, you’ll take ownership and drive real change. Constantly grow as you work hard for a mission that matters at a company where you matter.
Your Impact
You'll help shape how Axon identifies and manages technology and business risk as the company scales. Reporting directly to the VP, Corporate Audit on a small team, you’ll own work spanning SOX, system implementations, security, and data governance, giving you exposure to a broad range of systems and leaders across Axon.
This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys going beyond traditional audit testing: understanding how complex processes and systems actually work, using data and emerging technology to make audits smarter, and partnering with teams to solve meaningful problems. You’ll also help evolve how Corporate Audit uses automation, analytics, and AI to improve the way we work.
What You Will Do
- Execute testing procedures for ITGCs, ITACs, and Key Reports in accordance with Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) requirements.
- Perform operational audits, including pre/post implementation reviews and security reviews.
- Lead walkthroughs with business and technology owners to understand processes, evaluate control design, and identify relevant risks.
- Perform data analysis to extract meaningful insights and support audit procedures.
- Ensure the preparation of detailed and well-organized audit workpapers, documenting testing procedures, findings, and recommendations.
- Investigate potential control deficiencies, develop well-supported conclusions, and partner with management on remediation plans.
- Prepare audit reports and summarize analysis and results, providing actionable recommendations.
- Partner with external auditors to facilitate reliance on Corporate Audit’s work and reduce duplicative requests to management.
- Identify opportunities for process improvement and automation within the audit function, including leveraging available AI tools.
What You Will Bring
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree or higher in Information Systems, Accounting, Finance, or related field
- 3-5 years audit experience.
- Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Certified Internal Auditor (CIA), or Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) designation.
- Experience auditing ITGCs, ITACs, and Key Reports against Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) methodology.
Preferred:
- Big 4 audit experience.
- Experience leveraging automation/data analytics tools to simplify audit work, such as Alteryx, Cursor, Sigma, and/or SQL.
- Experience auditing Microsoft Dynamics 365, Salesforce, Workday, and/or Zuora Revenue.
- Familiarity with AuditBoard.
What You Will Need to Succeed
- Curiosity about how financial systems and processes actually work, and the persistence to find out when the documentation falls short.
- Flexibility and adaptability in responding to changes in audit plans or priorities.
- Sound risk judgment: knowing which exceptions matter, and being able to defend that call to process owners, management, and external auditors.
- Clear, concise writing. Your workpapers and reports should stand on their own.
- Effective verbal communication skills, with the ability to convey audit findings and recommendations to the Corporate Audit team and Management.
- Interest in using analytics, automation, and AI to solve problems, improve audit procedures, and build more efficient ways of working.
