Hands-on contributor responsible for designing, testing, and maturing the IT SOX program in a fast-paced, AI-focused environment, partnering with Engineering, Security, IT, DevOps, Finance, and external auditors.

Responsibilities

  • Partner with Engineering, Security, IT, and DevOps teams to assess the design and implementation of scalable and sustainable controls
  • Assess new system implementations and changes
  • Identify automation and tooling opportunities to improve control efficiency and monitoring, and contribute to the development of continuous monitoring capabilities

  • Execute IT SOX testing across IT General Controls and IT Application Controls, including access management, change management, and computer operations
  • Perform system and process risk assessments to identify control gaps and recommend remediation
  • Own control documentation and ensure audit-ready evidence is current and complete
  • Evaluate IT automated controls and support the shift from manual to automated control reliance
  • Scale the IT SOX program as the company grows — rationalizing scope, standardizing testing approaches, and building repeatable processes
  • Guide and direct the day-to-day work of internal team members and co-sourced partners: setting priorities, reviewing workpapers, and ensuring quality and consistency across the testing program
  • Build strong working relationships with process and control owners across the organization
  • Translate technical control requirements for non-technical stakeholders and vice versa
  • Support SEC cybersecurity disclosure requirements and related risk monitoring efforts
  • Coordinate with external auditors on IT SOX matters, including evidence requests, walkthroughs, and testing schedules
  • Track and assist with remediation of audit findings; communicate status to the Head of IT SOX and relevant stakeholders

Qualifications

  • Hands-on IT audit or IT SOX compliance experience, ideally in a fast-paced technology environment
  • Deep working knowledge of ITGCs, ITACs, and IT risk assessment methodologies
  • Experience auditing highly automated DevOps environments (CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, automated deployments) and adapting traditional change-management and access controls to them
  • Experience designing, testing, and documenting controls across access management, change management, and computer operations
  • Demonstrated comfort with ambiguity and the ability to operate effectively in a high-pace, rapidly changing environment
  • Ability to effectively guide and direct the work of internal team members and/or co-sourced partners
  • Ability to work independently on complex, ambiguous workstreams while communicating proactively with senior stakeholders
  • Strong project management and organizational skills with close attention to detail
