The role offers opportunities to shape the program, collaborate with IT and security, and implement a scalable, automated controls framework in a remote-first culture.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• CPA or CIA certification.
• 5+ years of progressive experience in internal audit, internal controls, or public accounting, with a focus on SOX compliance.

• Direct our external consulting partners through control testing. You'll set scope and priorities and hold partners accountable for quality and delivery at every stage, including: defining scope, methodology, standards, deliverables, and timelines; coordinating walkthroughs, evidence requests, testing windows, and remediation validation; reviewing and challenging partner work; maintaining integrated project plans and readiness dashboards; tracking budget, resource capacity, dependencies, and deliverables; resolving issues, removing roadblocks, and escalating risks, delays, and quality concerns.
• Own the GRC platform implementation as business owner. You'll define program requirements, data standards, workflows, and reporting, drive adoption, and build toward a more automated control environment.
• Partner with IT and security to assess IT General Controls (ITGCs), including access management, change management, and IT operations, so that controls are properly designed, tested, and documented.
• Turn control testing status and results into clear, timely reporting for control owners, senior leadership, and the Audit Committee.
• Serve as a primary point of contact on internal controls for external auditors, consulting partners, and regulators.
• Coach control owners on internal control requirements and build practical remediation plans with them when issues come up.
• Advise business leaders early in the development of new products, systems, and processes so that new and emerging risks are caught before they become control gaps.
• Identifying opportunities to use analytics, automation, and AI to improve control monitoring, testing, evidence management, and reporting while maintaining appropriate governance and human review.
