Build Our Future Together

As our Senior Financial Analyst, SOX Compliance, you’ll be the go-to expert connecting Program Finance with our Global Development organization, making sure our clinical trial finances run smoothly, transparently, and in full compliance with SOX requirements.

• Ensure financial controls are executed in line with the Company’s SOX requirements.
• Partner with the Head of Program Finance to present process changes to the SOX Committee and keep SOX documentation (narratives) current.
• Lead the annual SOX audit process — running walkthroughs with internal and external auditors and preparing documentation for Study Budget and Study Requisition approvals as part of key controls testing.
• Advise Program Finance and Global Development teams on SOX key controls for Study Budget and Study Requisition approvals.
• Conduct ad-hoc reviews of Program Trial Finance (PTF) analysts’ documentation, spotting gaps or weaknesses and recommending improvements to strengthen controls.

• Take a continuous-improvement mindset to clinical trial, program budget, and study-level requisition processes, including:
• Submitting and updating approved budget information in Hyperion.
• Reviewing budget dashboards to confirm accurate reporting of approved budgets.
• Reviewing custom hierarchies for clinical trials and required approvers.
• Administering and maintaining study budget approval workflows and QlikView dashboards that support SOX compliance via partnership with IT support teams.
• Periodically reviewing budget values in Hyperion to keep QlikView budget dashboards accurate and up to date.

This Role Requires:

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related quantitative field; an MBA is a plus.
• 5+ years of experience in compliance, forecasting, budgeting, and/or business partnering — ideally within a science- or research-driven organization.
• A proven track record spanning both audit and finance functions.
