• Scheduling and facilitating control walkthroughs between auditors and control owners across the organization
• Maintaining and updating risk and control matrices, narratives, and process flowcharts across key financial processes

• Prior public accounting experience complemented by in-house Finance experience preferred
• Experience with SOX and GRC platforms such as Workiva or SOXHUB a plus
• Exceptional organizational and communication skills with comfort facilitating cross-functional discussions

Why This Organization

• High-growth public company with a maturing controls environment

• Direct visibility to VP and Finance leadership from day one

A bit about us: We are partnering with a well-capitalized, high-growth public company to place a SOX and Internal Controls Manager in a newly structured Finance role. This is a permanent position sitting within the Office of the VP of SOX and Internal Controls, and it is a meaningful opportunity for a controls professional who wants to help build something from the ground up.

Why join us?

This role is distinctly different from Internal Audit. You are not testing controls or owning them. You are the connective tissue of the entire SOX program, partnering with control owners across the business, coordinating internal and external audit activity, and keeping the program organized, on schedule, and audit-ready.

If you thrive in a facilitation and advisory capacity, enjoy working cross-functionally, and want visibility into the full SOX lifecycle at a growing public company, this role is worth a close look.
