About the role

StockX’s Head of Internal Audit is a newly created key leadership role reporting to the CFO and Audit Committee. The role will build StockX’s global initiative for the monitoring, testing and optimization of our internal controls over financial reporting, operational areas, and evaluating and improving StockX’s risk management and governance process. The individual will also serve as the global project manager to develop a compliance testing program, liaising with both internal and external teams. Key areas of responsibility include risk assessments, audit plan development, and execution of financial and operational audits to evaluate the Company’s internal controls. The role will also partner with StockX’s Compliance team on adherence to Company policies and procedures, and compliance with applicable legal and regulatory standards. The successful candidate will be the subject matter specialist over the Company’s financial reporting risks, compliance programs and other operational risks within the organization. The role is initially an individual contributor, partnering with our outsourced Internal Audit firm (currently Big 4), but with the ability to insource a portion of the team over time.

About Us In a world where consumers increasingly value self-expression and individuality, the market for hard-to-find fashion, collectibles, and electronics has never been hotter. Our global platform offers unique access to current culture while our data-driven, bid-ask model provides buyers with the real-time visibility to know they’re getting a fair price. With key leadership and an inspiring vision in place, we believe we’re poised for significant growth: into new product verticals, new audiences, and new geographies. To get there we’re looking for flexible, all-in teammates who are excited by ownership and the opportunity to take on emerging challenges. If you’re a doer who’s ready to solve tough problems with plenty of laughs along the way, we’d love to hear from you. We welcome, embrace, and respect all dimensions of diversity. We’re committed to creating an inclusive environment where all team members are valued, supported, and respected—and no, you don’t need to know a thing about sneakers or fashion. We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
