Senior Director, Internal Audit

You have 15+ years of progressive experience in internal audit, IT audit, or risk management within a complex, global, fast-paced, technology-driven environment.

You have deep technical expertise in IT controls, ITGC, data governance, cybersecurity, cloud architecture, systems implementation, and emerging tech risks (AI/ML, privacy, automation).

You are a hands-on leader with the ability to roll up your sleeves to operationalize IT compliance initiatives, drive execution, and ensure practical implementation of governance and control frameworks.

You have a proven ability to oversee the governance of complex, cross-functional system implementations, ensuring alignment with enterprise control frameworks, risk management objectives, and business outcomes.

You are skilled in leveraging automation and next-generation technologies (e.g. GenAI) to enhance audit efficiency, expand coverage, and deliver deeper, data-driven insights.

You have demonstrated the ability to navigate and assess complex technical and control environments, diagnose underlying issues, and design tailored, effective solutions suited to dynamic marketplace platforms.

We are seeking a Senior Director, IT Internal Audit to lead the strategy, execution and evolution of DoorDash’s global IT audit function.  In this highly visible role, you will help shape the technology risk management practices across DoorDash - you will oversee a broad portfolio of audits, including IT SOX, cybersecurity, data governance, AI governance, and operational technology. You will report directly to the Chief Audit Executive and serve as a strategic advisor to DoorDash’s technology, security, and engineering leaders. You will bring deep technical audit expertise, exceptional leadership skills, and a passion for innovation to build and lead a world-class IT audit organization that scales with the business.

This role demands someone who can balance strategy with execution (and isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves) — a leader who can anticipate emerging technology risks, foster strong cross-functional partnerships, translate complex technical concepts into meaningful business insights, and be ready to operate at the lowest level of detail.  You will partner with teams across Security, Platform Engineering, Data Engineering, Privacy Legal, AI, Product, and Compliance to strengthen our risk posture and drive a data-driven approach to auditing.

Lead the strategic direction of IT Internal Controls and Assurance

Define and execute a forward-looking IT Internal Audit strategy aligned with DoorDash’s business goals and technology roadmap.

Partner with executive leadership to identify, assess, and monitor key technology risks, including those tied to digital transformation and AI adoption.

DoorDash’s Internal Audit team provides independent assurance that the company’s risk management, governance, and internal control processes are operating effectively. We are a small team that is looking to expand and bring on motivated professionals. We don’t think of ourselves as a typical audit function - we are obsessively focused on risks to the organizations which reflects in the type of projects we support and execute.

DoorDash is rapidly growing - we are expanding in multiple geos and launching new products. This exciting growth allows us to drive creative analysis, strategy, and solutions. Our focus areas include financial, operational, regulatory, security, IT, and more.
