Core Responsibilities

• Own the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of the Salesforce IT SOX/GRC control framework.

• Embed controls into solution design, implementations, integrations, and technology changes.
• Lead risk and control assessments, testing, deficiency remediation, and continuous monitoring.
• Govern Segregation of Duties (SoD), privileged access, and access reviews.
• Partner with Technology, Finance, Information Security, Internal Controls, and business teams to strengthen the control environment.
• Lead SOX audit coordination, including walkthroughs, evidence, testing, and remediation with Internal Audit and external auditors.
• Establish end-to-end technology governance across Salesforce and financially relevant integrations, including release governance and control automation.
• The role will coordinate and govern releases but will not develop, independently approve, and deploy the same production change, preserving appropriate segregation of duties.

Key Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in Program Management
• Proven experience designing, implementing, and improving IT control frameworks within a publicly traded company.
• Experience translating business and technology risks into effective, sustainable controls, policies, and governance standards.
• Experience leading control assessments, walkthroughs, testing, deficiency evaluation, and remediation with Internal Audit and external auditors.
• Strong understanding of access, Segregation of Duties (SoD), privileged access, change management, and technology governance controls.
• Experience designing controls across enterprise applications, integrations, and financially significant systems.
• Strong ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders and drive governance initiatives without direct management authority.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience leading enterprise GRC or IT SOX control framework transformation and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Experience with Salesforce and/or other enterprise CRM and ERP platforms.
• Experience with GRC platforms, continuous controls monitoring, and control automation.
• Salesforce Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and Data Cloud.

Success in This Role

Success will be measured by establishing a scalable, sustainable, and risk-based IT GRC and SOX control framework that:

• Withstands internal and external audit scrutiny and maintains strong audit readiness.
• Identifies and addresses SOX and financial-reporting risks early, particularly through technology and solution design.
• Maintains effective control design, ownership, Segregation of Duties, and privileged-access governance.
• Provides clear, consistent control documentation, evidence, monitoring, and accountability.
• Drives timely and sustainable remediation of control gaps and deficiencies.
• Enables efficient, consistent governance across Salesforce, integrations, and downstream financially relevant systems while supporting business growth and technology innovation.
