Join Our Team
You will be our Financial Controls Manager, a key member of the accounting team. In this role, you will lead the day-to-day execution and continuous improvement of our SOX Section 404 / Internal Control over Financial Reporting (ICFR) program. You will drive a management-owned compliance model by setting program standards, coordinating documentation, and coordinating with Internal Audit (who performs SOX testing) and external auditors to deliver an audit-ready program. You will report to the Head of Accounting Policy.
In this role, you will be accountable for the end-to-end SOX/ICFR program cycle, including risk-based scoping, documentation standards, deficiency evaluation and remediation tracking, coordinating with Internal Audit and external auditors for walkthroughs and testing, and transparent reporting to leadership.
Your responsibilities will include:

• Risk Assessment, Scoping, and Control Environment
  • Lead the annual, top-down, risk-based SOX / ICFR risk assessment and scoping process (entities, processes, systems, significant accounts / disclosures and relevant assertions), including documentation of key judgments and changes year over year.
  • Coordinate evaluation of entity-level controls, fraud/management override considerations, and monitoring activities as part of the ICFR assessment.
  • Drive periodic reassessment of business, systems, organizational, and process changes (e.g. new products, system implementations, reorganizations, transactions, acquisitions) to determine impacts to scope, control design, documentation, and testing approach.
• Program Planning, Governance, and Stakeholder Management
  • Own and maintain the annual SOX / ICFR project plan, including milestones for planning, walkthroughs, interim testing, roll-forward testing, year-end close controls, and post-cycle lessons learned.
  • Establish clear program governance, including status reporting cadence, escalation paths, decision logs, and cross-functional communications.
  • Maintain role clarity and appropriate independence when partnering with Internal Audit and / or co-sourced providers; align on responsibilities, timelines, and deliverables.
• Documentation, Walkthroughs, and RCM Maintenance
  • Partner with process and control owners to develop, maintain, and refresh SOX documentation (narratives, flowcharts, control descriptions) and Risk and Control Matrices (RCMs), ensuring consistency, precision, and audit-ready quality.
  • Plan and coordinate walkthroughs and ensure documentation supports reliance expectations (control objective, frequency, precision, evidence, and ownership).
  • Maintain key inventories (controls, risks, key reports/IPE, and in-scope systems), including version control and change tracking in Workiva.
• Testing Coordination (business & IT), Evidence Quality, and ITGC Alignment
  • Coordinate and monitor SOX testing performed by Internal Audit (design and operating effectiveness), including schedules, walkthrough coordination, evidence requests, sample selection logistics, status tracking, and timely issue resolution with control owners.
  • Define and reinforce evidence quality standards (completeness/accuracy, level of review, retention), including expectations for controls that rely on information produced by the entity (IPE) and key reports.
  • Coordinate with IT stakeholders on IT general controls (ITGCs), automated controls, SOC reports (where applicable), and segregation of duties considerations to support ICFR reliance.
• Issue Management, Deficiency Evaluation, and Remediation
  • Maintain a centralized issue/deficiency log and remediation tracker, including action plans, owners, target dates, retesting coordination, and closure validation.
  • Support deficiency evaluation (including aggregation considerations), clear documentation of conclusions, and drafting/maintaining the Summary of Aggregated Deficiencies (SAD) and related materials.
  • Partner with control owners to design sustainable remediation and preventative measures and drive continuous improvement based on root-cause themes.
• Reporting, External Auditor Liaison, and Enablement
  • Serve as a primary liaison among Finance, IT, the business, Internal Audit, and external auditors to ensure SOX objectives, deliverables, and timelines are met.
  • Prepare executive-ready dashboards and updates on program status, testing progress, open issues, and remediation for leadership and governance forums.
  • Develop and deliver SOX/ICFR training and enablement for control owners (expectations, timing, and evidence standards) and optimize program workflows in Workiva.

Your skills and abilities should include:

• CPA required with 5+ years of relevant experience in SOX compliance/ICFR, internal audit, external audit, or controllership (public company experience preferred).
• Strong working knowledge of SOX Section 404 and COSO-based ICFR concepts, including risk assessment/scoping, documentation, walkthroughs, testing approaches, and evidence standards.
• Demonstrated project management and stakeholder management skills, including ability to drive timelines, influence without authority, and coordinate across Finance, IT, and business partners.
• Excellent writing and documentation skills (narratives, process flows, control descriptions, issue/deficiency summaries), including comfort with key reports/IPE concepts and coordinating with IT on ITGCs and automated controls.
• Comfortable working autonomously under tight deadlines in a global, fast-paced environment; able to pivot quickly while executing with accuracy and strong judgment.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint, Word) and process documentation tools (e.g., Visio); experience with Workiva (or similar GRC/SOX tools) preferred.
