Job description

Picture an audit team where your voice counts from the first week. You are not handed a checklist and pointed at a system. You are asked what you see, what you would fix, and how the program could be better. That is the seat our client is filling, and it comes with real room to grow into running the program yourself.

The Big Picture

Our client is a large, global manufacturer with a complex technology footprint. Their audit group works closely with IT and finance leaders, and they are adding a Senior IT Auditor to help run SOX compliance on the technology side. The last person in this seat earned a promotion, and the manager is sharp, responsive, and invested in developing the team.

This is a great match for someone who is curious, thorough, easy to work with, and energized by figuring out how things really work.

What You Will Be Doing

• Running technology controls testing for SOX from planning through reporting
• Walking through processes with system owners and getting to the real reason a control is not working
• Working with IT and compliance partners on fixes, then making sure those fixes stick
• Helping decide where the audit team spends its time each year
• Teaming up with financial auditors and the outside audit firm on shared work
• Being a go-to resource for IT teams who have questions about controls
• Jumping into special projects as they come up

What Will Make You a Great Fit

• A few years of IT audit experience, with SOX work you have owned yourself
• Time spent testing large ERP systems, including who has access, how changes get made, and how the system is set up
• The ability to explain the difference between general IT controls and application controls, with examples from your own work
• A solid grounding in information security fundamentals
• A bachelor’s degree in technology, information systems, accounting, or a similar field
• Clear, confident communication with everyone from analysts to executives
• A relevant professional certification is a plus
• Experience with audit management software is a plus
• Openness to some travel

What Is In It For You

• A competitive compensation package with bonus eligibility
• Full health benefits and a retirement plan with company match
• Paid time off and company holidays
• Relocation assistance for the right person
• A team that invests in learning and career growth
• Colorado living, with the mountains close by
