Our deep understanding of the specialty insurance market is the foundation for our customized solutions, backed by targeted risk control and claims services. Our employees are passionate about providing insurance coverage that's aligned to our targeted customer groups.
Intact's Global Specialty Lines business spans across more than 20 verticals in four distinct markets: U.S., Canada, UK and Europe. The following opportunity is for our U.S. team.
The opportunity
We currently have an opportunity for a Senior Group Financial Controls Manager to join our Finance team in our Plymouth, MN office on a hybrid schedule. The Senior Group Financial Controls Manager leads management's risk-based assessment and testing of internal controls over financial reporting in compliance with SOX Section 404. This role owns the design, execution, and quality of business process control testing, partners with senior stakeholders to align on scope and timing, and ensures timely remediation of control deficiencies. The position plays a critical role in ICFR maturity and control uplift initiatives, ensuring consistent, audit-ready testing methodologies that support organizational transformation and executive certification. Some of the Senior Group Financial Controls Manager responsibilities include but are not limited to:
  • Define annual and interim testing strategies, scope, and timelines, ensuring appropriate coverage of significant accounts, disclosures, risks, and key controls.
  • Partner with senior stakeholders across Finance, Risk, Internal Audit, and IT to align on testing approach and execution, while retaining management ownership of ICFR assessment and conclusions.
  • Oversee the execution and quality of control testing, ensuring testing is performed consistently, accurately, and in accordance with internal standards and external audit expectations.
  • Provide heightened oversight of judgment-based and management review controls, ensuring appropriate precision, evidence, and documentation.
  • Evaluate testing results and identify, assess, and classify control deficiencies, including determining severity (control deficiency, significant deficiency, material weakness).
  • Own deficiency tracking, remediation planning, and validation of corrective actions, ensuring timely closure and sustainability of remediations.
  • Prepare clear, risk-focused reporting and dashboards summarizing testing results, deficiency status, and remediation progress for senior management and executive stakeholders.
  • Serve as the primary management liaison with external auditors related to ICFR testing, audit reliance, and review of management's assessment.
  • Drive continuous improvement of testing methodologies, documentation standards, and quality controls, incorporating auditor feedback, regulatory guidance, and emerging inspection themes.
  • Support control uplift and transformation initiatives, partnering with process owners to improve control design, reduce complexity, and enhance automation where appropriate.
  • Manage, mentor, and develop a team of managers and analysts, establishing training, review, and quality assurance standards for testing activities.
  • Maintain strong governance over SOX calendars, milestones, and deliverables to support timely executive certifications and external reporting requirements.

The expertise you bring
  • 7+ years of experience in internal controls, SOX compliance, or audit within a large organization.
  • Proven ability to design and execute testing programs and manage remediation processes.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • Professional designation (CPA or equivalent) preferred.
