## 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
