Job Summary:

As a Senior Audit Alliances Manager, you will own and scale Drata’s most strategic, enterprise-focused audit firm relationships. This role sits at the intersection of strategic partnerships, enterprise go-to-market execution, and customer experience, with a clear mandate to drive co-sell impact, partner-sourced revenue, and exceptional audit outcomes.

You will act as a trusted advisor to senior leaders at top audit firms while partnering closely with Drata’s Sales, Customer Success, Product, and Marketing teams. This is a highly visible role with direct influence on revenue growth, partner satisfaction, and Drata’s long-term ecosystem strategy.

The ideal location of the candidate will be Tampa, Florida as many of our key audit firms are there.

What you’ll do:

Strategic Audit Alliances Ownership

• Own and grow relationships with Drata’s top-tier, enterprise-focused audit firm partners.

• Develop and execute joint business plans aligned to executive priorities, revenue targets, and mutual growth goals.

• Serve as the senior escalation point for complex audits, enterprise customers, and strategic partner initiatives.

Revenue & Co-Sell Leadership

• Drive partner-sourced and co-sell revenue by aligning Drata’s enterprise sales teams with audit firm partners at both the field and leadership levels.

• Identify, influence, and advance opportunities introduced by audit partners, collaborating closely with Account Executives throughout the deal lifecycle.

• Build and scale repeatable co-selling motions, including partner enablement, deal registration, pipeline tracking, and forecasting.

• Partner with audit leaders who have a strong client advisory mindset, helping position Drata as a strategic platform, not just an audit enabler.

Audit & Customer Experience Excellence

• Ensure consistently high-quality audit experiences for both auditors and customers using the Drata platform.

• Partner with Customer Success to monitor and improve audit-related CSAT, proactively addressing friction points and systemic challenges.

• Use insights from audits and partner feedback to influence product enhancements, workflows, and enablement resources.

Partner Enablement & Advocacy

• Enable audit firm partners on Drata’s enterprise roadmap, product capabilities, and best practices for complex audits.

• Serve as the internal voice of audit partners, advocating for their needs across Product, Engineering, and Go-To-Market teams.

• Elevate partners into long-term advocates through success stories, case studies, and executive-level engagement.

Cross-Functional Leadership

• Work closely with Sales, Marketing, Product, and Customer Success to ensure alliance strategy is tightly aligned with company objectives.

• Support strategic enterprise deals by participating in partner-led pitches, executive briefings, and joint customer meetings.

• Contribute to the evolution of Drata’s broader partnerships and ecosystem strategy as the program scales.

This Role Is a Great Fit If You:

• Have experience at a Big 4 or large national audit firm and bring a strategic, growth-oriented mindset to client and partner relationships.

• Have transitioned—or are excited to transition—from a delivery-focused audit role into a commercial, relationship-driven, co-sell-oriented position.

• Enjoy influencing deals, shaping GTM motions, and building ecosystems rather than owning a direct quota.

• Want to apply deep audit and compliance expertise in a role that directly impacts revenue, customer experience, and platform adoption.

What you’ll bring:

• 6+ years of experience in strategic partnerships, alliances, business development, or audit-led go-to-market roles within B2B SaaS or large professional services organizations.

• Strong familiarity with audit, compliance, risk, or security frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, SOX, etc.).

• Demonstrated ability to influence revenue outcomes through partner relationships, referrals, or co-selling motions.

• Experience managing senior stakeholders, including partners, principals, and enterprise decision-makers.

Preferred Experience

• Background at a Big 4 or large national audit firm, particularly in roles that required cross-functional collaboration, client growth, or strategic initiatives.

• Experience working alongside enterprise SaaS sales teams and navigating complex, multi-stakeholder deal cycles.

• Exposure to building or scaling partner programs, joint GTM strategies, and alliance performance metrics.
