The successful candidate will be comfortable operating in a hands-on environment, challenging the status quo, and partnering with stakeholders to identify practical, forward-looking improvements.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and execute IT internal audit procedures, including IT general controls, application controls, access management, change management, system development lifecycle, cybersecurity, data integrity, and business continuity controls.

• Support ongoing SOX compliance efforts by evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of technology controls and related business process controls.

• Partner with Finance, IT, Operations, and other business stakeholders to assess risks associated with new system implementations, upgrades, integrations, and process changes.

• Provide control advisory support during system implementations to help ensure risks are identified early and appropriate controls are designed into future-state processes.

• Identify opportunities to reduce manual processes, improve interfaces between systems, strengthen data flows, and support automation across legacy and evolving technology environments.

• Develop clear, practical audit findings and recommendations that balance risk management, compliance requirements, and business needs.

• Challenge existing processes and assumptions in a constructive way, bringing an analytical and solutions-oriented mindset to complex or evolving control environments.

• Perform walkthroughs, testing, documentation reviews, issue validation, and follow-up activities in accordance with internal audit methodology and professional standards.

• Assist with management reporting, audit committee materials, risk assessments, and other internal audit deliverables as needed.

• Stay informed on emerging technology risk, public company control expectations, and leading practices in internal audit, SOX, and IT governance.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Information Systems, Computer Science, Finance, Business, or a related field.

• At least 4–5 years of combined experience in public accounting, internal audit, IT audit, risk advisory, or a related controls-focused role.

• Experience evaluating IT general controls, application controls, business process controls, and technology-enabled risks.

• Experience in or exposure to a public company environment, SOX compliance, or public company readiness activities is strongly preferred.

• Experience supporting or auditing new system implementations, ERP implementations, system integrations, or technology transformation initiatives is a plus.

• Strong understanding of internal control concepts, risk assessment, audit documentation, and testing procedures.

• Ability to work with manual, legacy, and developing control environments while helping the business move toward more automated, scalable solutions.

• Strong communication skills with the ability to translate technical or control concepts into clear, business-oriented recommendations.

• High degree of curiosity, professional skepticism, sound judgment, and willingness to challenge the status quo.

• Hospitality, travel, leisure, attractions, or other consumer-facing industry experience is helpful but not required.

Preferred Certifications

CPA, CISA, CIA, CISSP, or related professional certification is preferred but not required.

Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is a proactive, intellectually curious auditor who can operate effectively in a changing environment. They are comfortable working through ambiguity, asking thoughtful questions, and partnering with the business to build better processes rather than simply identifying gaps. This person should bring a practical mindset, strong attention to detail, and the confidence to recommend improvements that support Pursuit’s growth, public company obligations, and broader transformation efforts.
