Full Job Description

WHO WE ARE Notion is the collaborative AI workspace where teams and agents think together https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkpYpWfEK5s. We're building one place where your knowledge, projects, meetings, and AI tools live side by side, so work is faster, clearer, and less fragmented. Millions of individuals, small teams, and large companies run their work on Notion. Notinos (our employees) are customer zero in bringing this future of work to life. We care about craft, building things that last, and the belief that great work is still fundamentally human. Our goal isn’t to ship the next feature. Each and every team of Notinos is working to set the standard for how humans work together in the AI era. From building a business’s system of record to making and managing AI agents to automating away the busy work, we care deeply about giving our customers more time for their life’s work. ABOUT THE ROLE: We are seeking a strategic and seasoned Lead, Internal Audit and SOX Compliance to join our Finance team reporting to the Head of Internal Audit. This is a broad, high-impact role that goes well beyond traditional compliance. You will help to establish and elevate Notion's internal controls program end to end — designing the governance framework, leading our SOX lifecycle, embedding AI and automation into how we test and monitor controls, and serving as a trusted strategic advisor across the business as we scale. You will partner with leaders across Finance, IT, Engineering, Commercial, Legal, and the business units to embed sound financial controls into how Notion operates, while delivering value-added operational audits that strengthen the company. This role is ideal for someone who thinks like a builder, not just an auditor — someone who can translate complex control requirements into practical, scalable processes in a fast-moving SaaS environment with complex revenue and consumption models. This role is based in San Francisco, USA. We work from our offices on Mondays, Tue
