Fervo Energy is delivering 24/7 carbon-free energy through the development of next-generation geothermal projects. The company leverages innovation in geoscience to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy, aiming to enhance geothermal's role in the future electric grid with advancements in drilling and subsurface analytics, making geothermal energy cost competitive.

📋 Description

• Build Fervo's internal audit function from the ground up, including charter, methodology, risk-based annual audit plan, and quality assurance and improvement program aligned with IIA standards • Serve as the primary point of contact for the Audit Committee—preparing materials, delivering updates on key risks and control issues, and ensuring concerns are surfaced early and resolved decisively • Define the enterprise risk universe in partnership with Finance, Legal, Compliance, IT, and Operations, and translate it into a multi-year audit roadmap that scales with the business • Partner with Finance and Accounting to support the design and build-out of Fervo's SOX program, ensuring controls are designed into processes rather than layered on after the fact • Own the independent testing layer of Fervo's SOX program, executing control testing, evaluating deficiency severity, and reporting results to the Audit Committee independently of management's conclusions • Design and execute IT general controls (ITGC), application controls, and cybersecurity audits across financially significant systems, OT environments, and field-data infrastructure

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field; CPA, CIA, or CISA strongly preferred (MBA a plus) • 10+ years of progressive internal audit, external audit, or ICFR experience, including meaningful time at a Big Four or top-tier professional services firm and at a public or near-IPO company • Demonstrated experience standing up or materially rebuilding a SOX program—scoping, control design, testing, and remediation—not just executing within an established one • Deep fluency with COSO 2013, PCAOB AS 2201, and SEC rules governing ICFR, disclosure controls, and audit committee reporting • Working knowledge of IT general controls, cybersecurity frameworks (e.g., NIST CSF, ISO 27001), and audits of complex ERP and operational technology environments • Proven ability to coordinate effectively with external auditors and to present to audit committees and senior executives • Track record of operating independently, exercising sound judgment under ambiguity, and delivering results in fast-moving, resource-constrained environments • Ability to travel to Fervo offices and project sites as needed

🏖️ Benefits

• Health insurance • Flexible work arrangements • Professional development opportunities
