As Director, Audit Transformation, you will lead the strategic shift from traditional audit execution to an agentic operating model.

Build and scale the playbook, maturity model, and program structure. Equip Customer Success teams with frameworks, content, and training for repeatable, scalable transformation engagements.

Lead executive briefings, product demonstrations, and technical validation conversations with firm leadership. Represent Fieldguide on customer onsites to build credibility.
