We move fast, operate with purpose, and show up as one team connected by a shared commitment to doing right by our customers, our communities, and each other.\n\nAI is fundamentally changing how AppFolio builds products, serves customers, and manages risk — and Internal Audit has a front‑row seat. We’re looking for a Director, Internal Audit Transformation to help us rise to that moment. This is not a status‑quo audit role. You’ll be doing two things at once: auditing the AI‑driven risks emerging across our business (from agentic AI in our products to AI‑accelerated software development to the full lifecycle of internal AI adoption) and actively transforming how Internal Audit itself operates, using AI tools to mature our methodologies, scale our coverage, and eventually move toward near‑real‑time risk identification.\n\nYou’ll bring deep operational audit experience — particularly in financial services domains like payments processing, tenant screening, and underwriting — and pair it with the curiosity and technical fluency to lead audit work in an environment where the risk landscape is evolving faster than any annual plan can capture.\n\nYour Impact\nAudit AI and Emerging Risk Across the Business\n\nAct as the third line of defense for AI risk: understand how AI is being introduced into our products and internal operations, assess whether the right controls are in place, and ensure appropriate Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) oversight exists where it matters most.\n\nAudit the full internal AI adoption lifecycle — from employee use of AI tools, to AI embedded in our SaaS products, to agentic AI deployments, to the use of proprietary data in custom or fine‑tuned models.\n\nAssess risks in our AI‑accelerated engineering environment, including open‑source code adoption, AI‑assisted development, and the shift toward AI‑driven QA.\n\nMonitor regulatory developments tied to AI in financial services (payments, screening, insurance) and ensure IA’s audit plan evolves alongside the compliance landscape.\n\nPartner with Enterprise Risk Management, Compliance, Risk & Fraud, Legal, and Security to assess program maturity and develop appropriate third‑line coverage.\n\nTransform How Internal Audit Operates\n\nLead the integration of AI tools into our audit processes — building standardized, repeatable approaches to AI‑assisted planning, fieldwork, and reporting across all engagements.\n\nDrive maturity improvements across the Gartner audit maturity framework by identifying where AI can accelerate our capabilities and developing the roadmap to get there.\n\nBuild toward continuous and near‑real‑time auditing: develop data analytics and AI‑driven monitoring to identify emerging risk proactively rather than reactively.\n\nLead end‑to‑end audits (planning, fieldwork, reporting) across product, engineering, operations, and compliance domains — including payments processing, vendor integrations, tenant screening, and partner programs.\n\nPrepare and present audit findings and insights to senior leadership and contribute to the Internal Audit function’s long‑term strategic roadmap.\n\nWhat You Bring\n\n6–12 years of progressive internal audit or risk management experience, with meaningful exposure to complex operational, financial, and compliance environments.\n\nHands‑on experience in financial services operations — payments, screening, underwriting, or similar domains. This is a specialist role, not a generalist one.\n\nGenuine fluency with data analytics: you’ve built or used data‑driven audit approaches and are excited about what AI makes possible.\n\nWorking knowledge of AI concepts and risk — you don’t need to be an AI engineer, but you understand agentic AI, LLMs, model risk, and what HITL oversight means in practice.\n\nStrong grasp of internal control frameworks (COSO, COBIT) and how controls mature alongside organizational and technological change.\n\nPrior experience in SaaS, fintech, or technology‑driven environments.\n\nCPA, CIA, or CISA preferred.\n\nExcellent communication and executive presence — you can translate complex risk concepts for senior leaders and audit committees alike.\n\nWhy This Role\nMost internal audit roles ask you to assess risk. This one asks you to help define what risk looks like in a world that hasn’t finished changing yet. You’ll have real ownership over building something — the methodology, the tooling, the posture — and you’ll be doing it inside a company that takes both innovation and integrity seriously.\n\nLocation\nFind out more about our locations by visiting our site.\n\nCompensation & Benefits\nThe compensation that we reasonably expect to pay for this role is: $167,200 - $209,000 base pay. The actual compensation for this role will be determined by a variety of factors, including but not limited to the candidate’s skills, education, experience, and internal equity.\n\nPlease note that compensation is just one aspect of a comprehensive Total Rewards package. The compensation range listed here does not include additional benefits or any discretionary bonuses you may be eligible for based on your role and/or employment type.\n\nRegular full‑time employees are eligible for benefits - see here.\n\nAbout AppFolio\nAppFolio is the technology leader powering the future of the real estate industry.
