About the Role

Internal audit is being asked to do more with less. According to the IIA's 2026 North American Pulse of Internal Audit, the share of functions reporting budget cuts rose from 11% to 19% in a single year, while the share reporting increases fell from 34% to 23%, and staff cuts climbed from 11% to 18%. The audit universe keeps growing. The team does not.

As Product Manager for Corporate Internal Audit, you will own the strategy for how Fieldguide wins this market and the roadmap that gets us there.

What You'll Do

  • Shape product strategy for Fieldguide's corporate internal audit line, from market entry through to a sequenced roadmap
  • Build enterprise-grade AI agents that increase efficiency, quality, and practitioner experience across each stage of the audit lifecycle from planning and risk assessment to audit execution and reporting.
  • Partner with cross-functional teams including customer success, sales, and marketing to gather feedback, communicate product strategy, and drive the introduction and adoption of product features
  • Work directly with Chief Audit Executives, VPs of Internal Audit, and Heads of IT Audit, including onsite, and bring what you learn back into the roadmap

Who You Are

  • 5-15+ years of product management experience
  • Experience with internal audit, SOX, risk, or another regulated compliance workflow, either as a practitioner or as a PM who has built software for that market.
  • Fluent in the vocabulary of the work: audit universe, entity-level controls, risk and control matrices, walkthroughs, deficiency severity, remediation, external auditor reliance.
  • Strong technical fluency: comfortable talking with engineers about LLM and agent architecture, evals, and tradeoffs without needing to write code.
  • Able to hold a strategic position under sustained pressure from commercial stakeholders, and to change it when the argument is genuinely good.
  • Comfortable working with detail-oriented, skeptical audiences and translating their workflow into product requirements.
