Galway Office 

Rent The Runway established its European Technology Hub in Galway in April 2019.  Based in the historic Claddagh area of the city, the growing team in Galway tackles core technology challenges and influences the next generation of services critical to Rent The Runway’s success and continued growth. 

The Galway office is Rent the Runway's first international office outside the US and enables the company to significantly expand its Software Engineering, Product Development, Machine Learning Engineering and Data Science footprint. Rent The Runway’s Galway-based employees have the opportunity to grow their careers across several roles and career paths in Technology.

Our engineering team is smart, pragmatic, and entrepreneurial. We practice continuous integration & test-driven development, engage in constant peer code reviews & pair programming, and work hard to give back to the software community through open-source contributions.

The Mission:

At Rent The Runway, Internal Audit is the primary guardian of our financial integrity. Our mandate is clear: we lead the management assessment of internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR) to provide the Audit Committee and executive leadership with confidence in the controls over our systems and the information they report. We don’t just find gaps; we ensure our technology stack is resilient and compliant.

About the Role:

Reporting directly to the VP of Internal Audit based in New York, you will serve as the subject matter expert for IT General Controls (ITGC) and Automated Application Controls. This is a high-visibility, third-line of defence role where you will own the SOX lifecycle for our technology environment from initial risk assessment and scoping to final deficiency evaluation and remediation. 

You will partner closely with our 2nd Line of Defence (Senior Compliance Analyst) to align on risk assessments and control frameworks. While maintaining independence, you will leverage 2nd Line monitoring results to sharpen audit scoping and ensure a unified approach to SOX compliance. You will also collaborate with the Senior Compliance Analyst to bridge the gap between 'finding' a deficiency and 'fixing' it. You will work in tandem to ensure that remediation plans are not only effective for SOX compliance but are also operationally sustainable for the IT organisation.

What You’ll Do:

• Support the IT SOX Lifecycle: Manage the end-to-end execution of IT SOX testing, including planning, walkthroughs, and substantive testing of ITGCs across Access Management, Change Management, and IT Operations.
• Analyse Critical Systems: Evaluate Automated Application Controls and Key Reports (IPE/IUC) to ensure the accuracy and completeness of data flowing into financial statements.
• Bridge the Gap: Translate complex technical risks into clear business impacts for stakeholders. You will document detailed process narratives and flowcharts that identify where "what could go wrong" (WCGW) meets a key control.
• Quality & Methodology: Build and maintain workpapers that meet the highest standards.

About You:

• The Foundation: You hold a Bachelor’s degree in Management Information Systems, Computer Science, Accounting, or a related field.
• The Credentials: You are a CISA, CISM, or CISSP (or are actively pursuing one).
• The Experience: You bring 3+ years of dedicated IT SOX 404 experience, ideally from a Big 4 or second-tier public accounting firm.
• The Diplomat: You possess the "auditor’s touch"—the ability to build rapport with IT process owners and our Senior Compliance Analyst while maintaining the independence required to deliver unbiased testing conclusions and audit findings.
• The Solution-Oriented Mindset: You are not just a "box-checker." You approach SOX with a desire to help the business find a sustainable, automated way to maintain its compliance obligations.

Benefits:

At Rent the Runway, we’re committed to the happiness and well-being of our employees, and aim to create a workplace that fosters both personal and professional growth. Our inclusive benefits include, but are not limited to:

• Generous Paid Time Off, including annual leave, paid bereavement, and family sick leave - every employee needs time to take care of themselves and their family.
• Universal Paid Parental Leave for both parents + flexible return to work program  - because we know your newest family member(s) deserve your undivided attention.
• Paid Sabbatical after 5 years of continuous service - unplug, recharge, and have some fun.
• Competitive Stakeholder Pension - taking care of your future. 
• Comprehensive health, dental care and dependents care from day 1 of employment - Your health comes first, and we’ve got you covered. 
• Company-wide events and outings - our team spirit is no joke - we know how to have fun!
• Hybrid Work -This hybrid role requires 2-3 days per week in our Galway, Ireland office, with the option to work 2 days remotely.

In accordance with applicable law, we prohibit discrimination against any applicant or employee on any legally recognised basis, including, but not limited to: gender, marital status, family status, age, disability, sexual orientation, race, religion, and membership of the Traveller community.
