Job description

We are seeking a dedicated and detail-oriented Audit & Controls Analyst to join our team and support our SOX compliance efforts. This role involves executing and documenting GITCs, ITACs, and IPEs to ensure our IT environment supports accurate financial reporting and regulatory compliance.

Initially, the focus will be on enhancing the consistency, quality, and audit-readiness of our IT control testing program. The role requires collaboration with control owners, internal teams, and external auditors to streamline testing processes and strengthen control assessments.

As controls mature, responsibilities will expand to include testing of business process controls across finance, procurement, HR, and other operational areas, offering broader exposure and career growth within risk, compliance, or audit functions.

This position is ideal for someone who thrives in a structured environment, works independently, and is passionate about control quality and risk reduction.

• Execute testing of GITCs, ITACs, and IPEs according to SOX requirements and testing plans.
• Maintain independence in testing while collaborating with control owners and process teams.
• Document testing procedures and results clearly and auditably.
• Track and validate remediation of control deficiencies.
• Coordinate walkthroughs, evidence collection, and control updates with external and internal stakeholders.
• Support ongoing improvement of testing frameworks and tools.
• Assist in testing business process controls as the environment matures.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Accounting, Business, or related field.
• 2+ years of experience in SOX testing, IT audit, or compliance.
• Solid understanding of GITCs, ITACs, IPEs, and testing requirements.
• Strong documentation, analytical, and organizational skills.
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities.
• Effective communication skills for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
