Job description

SOX & Internal Controls Manager

$150000 - $165000 per year | Dallas, TX | On-site | Permanent

SOX Manager | Public Company | Real Influence. Not Just Compliance

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.

Job Details

What You Will Own

• Day-to-day coordination of all internal and external auditor requests related to SOX and ICFR testing
• 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
• Supporting control owners in understanding control requirements arising from process changes, system implementations, and M&A activity
• Tracking remediation plans and flagging stalled or at-risk items to leadership
• Preparing draft status reporting and supporting materials for Finance leadership, the SOX Steering Committee, and the Audit Committee
• Supporting the development of a self-testing and control monitoring program as the function evolves

What You Bring

• CPA or CIA certification required
• 8+ years of experience in SOX compliance, internal controls, or a related Finance function
• Strong working knowledge of COSO framework and SOX Section 404 requirements
• 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
• Ability to operate effectively in a support and facilitation capacity rather than a control ownership or audit testing role

Why This Organization

• High-growth public company with a maturing controls environment
• Newly structured role with real influence over how the SOX program is built
• Hybrid flexibility in Dallas
• Direct visibility to VP and Finance leadership from day one
