6. Assist with internal financial control assessments, audits, and compliance requirements; track findings, develop action plans, and follow up on remediation.
7. Support innovation and transition projects, review process designs, and perform control impact assessments.

WHAT YOU NEED TO SUCCEED:

• Bachelor's Degree required.
• Strong understanding of various business functions and their interconnections.
• Expertise in SOX compliance, auditing, and risk management.
• Experience in designing, controlling, and evaluating business operations for effectiveness.
