At Gong, you will join a company built on innovative products, ambitious goals, and passionate people.

Here, transparency and trust are core to how we operate, and every person has the opportunity to make a visible impact. If you want to grow, stretch, and do work that truly matters, Gong is the place to do the best work of your career.
We’re looking for an IT and Security risk professional with deep experience in internal audit, controls design and testing who approaches the work as a trusted advisor and problem solver—not a checkbox-driven compliance auditor. You understand IT operations, security architecture, IT General Controls at a public-company level, but you focus on what actually works in practice and keeps business moving at speed.
This role is ideal for someone who knows how internal audit should function, but prefers partnering with the business, engineering, and security teams to strengthen controls, manage risk, and enable smart growth—without slowing teams down.
You’ll start as an individual contributor with significant autonomy, influencing across technology and security organizations to help design and test a control environment that scales, stands up to scrutiny, and supports rapid execution.
Responsibilities
Compensation is based on factors unique to each candidate, including, but not limited to, job-related skills, qualification, education, experience, and location. At Gong, we have a location-based compensation structure, which means there may be a different range for candidates in other locations. The total compensation package for this position, in addition to base compensation, may include incentive compensation, bonus, equity, and benefits. Some of our sales compensation programs also offer the potential to achieve above targeted earnings for those who exceed their sales targets.
We are always looking for outstanding Gongsters! So if this sounds like something that interests you regardless of compensation, please reach out. We may have more roles for you to consider and would love to connect.
We have noticed a rise in recruiting impersonations across the industry, where scammers attempt to access candidates' personal and financial information through fake interviews and offers. All Gong recruiting email communications will always come from the @gong.io domain. Any outreach claiming to be from Gong via other sources should be ignored.
Gong is an equal-opportunity employer. We believe that diversity is integral to our success, and do not discriminate based on race, color, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, military status, genetic information, or any other basis protected by applicable law.
