About the role

We are hiring Audit & Control Specialists to own how customers deploy, adopt, and get value from Petual. It is a customer success role, but we are not hiring customer success generalists. We are hiring auditors. Most of our customers are trying AI for the first time in a function where being wrong has consequences, and they have to defend AI-assisted testing to their own external auditors. Guiding them through that, credibly, as a practitioner, is the heart of the job.

What they're looking for

  • An audit or controls practitioner first. You have tested controls yourself and can talk shop with a SOX manager without translation
  • Consultative rather than reactive. You bring a point of view to a customer conversation instead of taking orders
  • Process-minded. You can see how AI changes a customer's workflow and the people in it, and guide them through that change, not just through the software
  • A clear teacher, comfortable running training and office hours for an audience that is at times skeptical of AI and that has a right to be careful
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and thin documentation. A lot of this function is being built right now, and you will build part of it
  • Able to carry many customers and shifting priorities over short periods without dropping things
More about this role

Petual is the AI-powered control tester for the modern enterprise. We automate the most labor-intensive work in internal audit and governance: testing whether a company's financial, operational, and technology controls actually work.

Public companies and regulated businesses trust us with the evidence behind their audit and risk decisions. We turn it into reviewable results and auditor-ready workpapers in minutes instead of days.
