Clorox is the place that’s committed to growth – for our people and our brands. Guided by our purpose and values, and with people at the center of everything we do, we believe every one of us can make a positive impact on consumers, communities, and teammates. Join our team.

Your role at Clorox

The Assistant Manager, FRC SOX IT will support the Company’s IT SOX compliance program, with a focus on strengthening and maintaining the Information Technology General Controls (ITGC) environment in alignment with SOX requirements. This role serves as a key partner to cross-functional process and control owners by supporting IT control design, execution, and testing readiness. As a hands‑on contributor, you will help ensure the Company’s ITGC framework remains effective while supporting readiness for new processes and systems. This role requires a proactive self‑starter who can independently manage assigned workstreams, anticipate risks or blockers, and raise issues early with recommended next steps. You’ll play a critical role in scoping and rationalization, supporting oversight of SOX applications, automated controls, key reports, and AI‑related control considerations. The role supports external audit execution by coordinating requests, managing relationships, and partnering with internal stakeholders to assess control impacts from system implementations, acquisitions, and emerging technologies.

In this role, you will:

• Support the annual IT SOX compliance cycle, including ITGC planning, scoping, rationalization, control updates, and coordination of key program milestones.
• Independently manage assigned SOX workstreams by tracking priorities, following up with stakeholders, identifying blockers, and escalating risks or delays with proposed next steps.
• Maintain and monitor SOX program master data, including ITGCs, SOX applications, automated controls, key reports, and related control attributes, to support accuracy, completeness, and audit readiness.
• Partner with process and control owners to support ITGC and IT automated control design, operation, and testing readiness for new, changing, or existing systems.
• Assist with control impact assessments for system implementations, acquisitions, process changes, and emerging technologies to help ensure control considerations are addressed timely.
• Help analyze identified control deficiencies, including root cause, risk impact, and remediation needs, while coordinating follow‑up with control owners and internal stakeholders.
• Support external audit execution by coordinating audit requests, preparing documentation, facilitating walkthroughs and discussions, and partnering with internal stakeholders to address auditor questions.
• Collaborate with internal teams to support timely and effective remediation of issues raised by auditors or identified through internal reviews.
• Assist with continuous improvement efforts by identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, consistency, and sustainability within the IT SOX framework.
• Workplace type: Hybrid - 3 days in the office, 2 days WFH

What we look for:

• 5+ years of relevant experience working with ITGCs in a SOX business environment
• Bachelor's Degree in Accounting or Finance, or Business Administration with a concentration in Accounting or other related field
• CPA, CISA, and/or CIA certification preferred
• Big 4 public accounting experience preferred
• SAP knowledge highly preferred
• Knowledge of emerging SAP technologies, including BTP and SAC, preferred
• Workday highly preferred
• Auditboard highly preferred
• Strong understanding of Sarbanes‑Oxley Regulation and recent PCAOB requirements specific to ITGCs
• Self‑starter with the ability to drive assigned work independently, manage priorities without close supervision, and proactively raise issues, risks, or dependencies
• Ability to support and coordinate cross‑functional initiatives and form solid business relationships across functions
• Ability to assess processes and systems to identify key control activities, determine whether they are functioning properly, and identify and implement improvements to drive efficiency and effectiveness
• Ability to project manage multiple workflows concurrently
• Strong verbal and written communication
