Job Description & Summary

Are you interested in internal control? Do you have experience and affinity with risk and control matrices (RCM), external financial reporting, compliance and are you familiar with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX)? And are you looking for a next step with ample opportunities for personal and professional development? Then you are the Senior Consultant SOX we are looking for!

What will you be doing?

As a Senior Consultant SOX, your main responsibility is to perform assignments in the areas of risk management, internal audit, internal controls and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX). This could include SOX readiness and remediation projects in which you model and improve processes, identify and implement risks and controls and then test and remediate them together with your clients. In addition, you always look for opportunities to improve through automation, for example. As part of the Broader Assurance Services (BAS) team, your mission is to be a trusted consultant who supports high-quality decision-making, drives risk mitigation and thinks in terms of solutions. Furthermore, your work will include:

• Assessing clients' current processes and controls and identifying opportunities to mitigate risks and improve process efficiency, effectiveness and performance;


• Being a trusted advisor to your clients, teaching them how to implement controls, how to best facilitate testers and auditors, how to manage the entire assurance process throughout the year and how to remediate them properly where necessary;


• Analysing the design of the IT function, IT systems and control measures in IT and business processes and advising clients on issues relating to processes and (IT) risks;


• As part of a team, mapping out operational and IT processes and making recommendations to implement improvements such as more efficient and targeted controls;


• Preparing reports (this can also be in the form of dashboard and presentations) to be delivered to clients and other parties;


• Coaching your junior and other colleagues to help them develop the necessary skills and substantive knowledge;


• Keeping up to date with the latest developments in digital tools, innovative solutions and trends in the market.

You are aware of the requirements within a controlled environment and know how to help clients facilitate and automate complex processes within those frameworks. You will be part of an international and inclusive team, where you will be involved in the entire process, with different parts being under your coordination and direction, but where you will also work closely together as a team. To meet the needs of our customers, we continuously invest globally in the development of our team members, our skills and the innovative tools that we use to help our clients transform sustainably and stay ahead of the competition.

Does this describe you?

You are people-oriented and socially adept in political, dynamic and complex environments. You enjoy working in multidisciplinary teams. You are also a team player and a good listener who can clearly communicate ideas to colleagues and clients to find the best solutions together. You combine strategic and analytical insight with a passion for technology and compliance and you are a go-getter. You have an affinity with technological developments and know how to translate opportunities into requests for developers. You work meticulously and take a multitude of different interests into account within your work. In addition, you can create powerful reports and visuals and give convincing presentations for senior and other management.

• You have at least 3 to 5 years of relevant work experience developing and implementing risk control frameworks and/or compliance/IT assignments related to SOX.


• You understand the importance of risk management and controls within organisations.


• You are familiar with the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) and know how to translate and apply them to clients.


• You have completed your master's degree at a research university in business economics, accountancy, information management, innovation management, technical or non-technical business administration, or another business, finance or IT-oriented study.


• External SOX audit experience is a plus.


• A postgraduate RE, RA, RO or RC degree (forthcoming or completed) is a plus.


• You have experience and knowledge regarding other IT legislation.


• You speak and write fluent English and can adapt easily to changing work environments.

You are able and willing to travel, sometimes within the Netherlands and sometimes abroad, as required for an assignment.

What are we offering?

• A competitive salary, attractive pension plan and the opportunity to grow;
