Director, Audit Transformation

About Us Fieldguide is establishing a new state of trust for global commerce and capital markets through automating and streamlining the work of assurance and audit practitioners with AI agents. They are based in San Francisco and have raised over $125M+ in venture funding from top Silicon Valley investors to accomplish their ambitious vision, including Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives, Bessemer Venture Partners, 8VC, Floodgate, Y Combinator, Justin Kan, Elad Gil, and more. Fieldguide has become the defining agentic company for CPAs, with more than 50%+ of the top-100 CPA firms as customers, including several Big 4, and an industry-leading NPS to match. They save up to 75% of time on manual tasks and unlock over 4x capacity for audit practitioners, helping provide the work-life balance that is rare in the profession. Fieldguide is on the same growth curve as the later-stage vertical AI leaders, but you would be joining early enough to have a meaningful impact. Fieldguide values diversity, both in backgrounds and in experiences to help build the future of audit and advisory. They are deliberate in preserving a winning culture with their FFLOWI values - Fearless, Fast, Lovable, Owners, Win-Win, Inclusive - providing space for teammates to do their career’s best work through a tightly-knit support network. If you want to shape the most important shift in how commerce and capital markets establish trust, alongside world-class teammates, Fieldguide would love to build with you. About the Role The Director, Audit Transformation will lead the shift from traditional audit execution to an agentic operating model. Reporting to the Head of Audit, you will set the direction for how financial audit agents are designed, adopted, and scaled across our customer base. You will serve as the connection point between the Fieldguide agentic platform and the profession it serves. In partnership with product, engineering, sales, and customer success, you will define the scope of the audit expertise behind an agentic operating model rather than layering agents onto legacy processes, including the documentation required to satisfy professional standards and withstand regulatory inspection. With Customer Success, you will establish the change management framework that guides firms from initial adoption through full transformation, built for consistent delivery at scale. You will also support the Head of Audit on the strategic planning and special initiatives that translate audit strategy into execution and go to market initiatives. This role calls for a leader with audit credibility earned through leading engagements, shaping methodology, or driving innovation within a leading firm, together with the conviction that professional judgment remains central to the audit. This is an opportunity to define how audit is delivered in the next decade, not to refine how it is delivered today. What You’ll Do Product Partnership • Serve as the audit domain expert in product discovery, prioritization, and roadmap planning for agent-based workflows, translating practitioner and firm needs into product specs • Work with AI architects and engineers to translate professional standards and practitioner judgment into the prompts, workflows, and guardrails behind our integrated methodologies and testing agents • Determine which procedures are suitable for agent execution, what level of autonomy is appropriate, and how output must be documented to satisfy professional standards and withstand regulatory inspection • Pressure-test new agent capabilities with practitioners before they ship, creating a tight feedback loop between the field, Methodology, and Product Customer Transformation • Own, with Customer Success, the transformation motion that guide
