What is a SOX manager?

Sox Managers are professionals responsible for ensuring that an organization complies with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), a U.S. law designed to protect investors from fraudulent financial reporting by corporations. They oversee internal controls, coordinate audits, and implement processes to ensure financial data accuracy and integrity. Sox Managers work closely with finance, IT, and external auditors to identify risks, document controls, and address any compliance gaps. Their work helps companies avoid legal penalties and maintain trust with stakeholders.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a SOX manager?

To excel as a SOX Manager, you need expertise in accounting, internal controls, and compliance frameworks, usually backed by a degree in accounting or finance and relevant certifications like CPA or CIA. Familiarity with audit management software, risk assessment tools, and systems such as SAP or Oracle is commonly required. Outstanding analytical skills, attention to detail, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for managing cross-functional teams and reporting findings. These competencies ensure accurate compliance with SOX regulations, minimizing risk and supporting organizational integrity.

What are some common challenges faced by a SOX manager, and how can candidates prepare for them?

A SOX Manager often encounters challenges such as keeping up with evolving regulatory requirements, coordinating across multiple departments, and managing tight reporting deadlines. Candidates should be prepared to navigate complex internal controls, communicate effectively with both finance and IT teams, and adapt to changes in compliance standards. Building strong project management skills and staying updated on SOX frameworks can help address these challenges and ensure successful audits and compliance initiatives.

Job description

The Director of SOX Compliance is responsible for the design, implementation, and ongoing management of HawkEye 360's program of internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR) in compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Section 404. As HawkEye 360 scales its defense technology and signals intelligence platform and integrates acquired businesses, this role is critical to building a robust, audit-ready controls framework that supports the company's public company obligations and operational growth. Reporting to the Chief Accounting Officer, the Director of SOX Compliance will partner closely with finance, accounting, IT, operations, legal, external auditors, and other external service providers to ensure that financial reporting risks are properly identified and mitigated by controls that are well-designed, effectively operating, and consistently enforced across all entities.
Your main responsibilities will be:
  • Own the end-to-end SOX compliance program, including developing, executing, and enhancing the Company's SOX 404 compliance strategy and annual ICFR roadmap.
  • Lead SOX scoping, risk assessments, process mapping, and control design evaluations.
  • Develop and maintain process narratives, risk and control matrices, and process flowcharts across all financial reporting areas.
  • Coordinate walkthroughs with process owners and manage quarterly/annual SOX testing cycles, including the use of third-party testing service providers and ensuring alignment with external auditor ICFR audit procedures.
  • Serve as the primary liaison for evidence requests, issue resolution, and status reporting.
  • Identify control gaps and design new or enhanced controls across financial reporting processes including order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, payroll, financial close, and treasury.
  • Lead the remediation of identified control deficiencies and track management action plans to closure.
  • Provide control design guidance for new processes arising from ERP implementations, system migrations, business combinations or other process changes.
  • Develop phased roadmaps to bring acquired entities into scope of the HawkEye 360 SOX program, and lead ICFR integration workstreams to ensure controls are designed and operating effectively prior to full scope inclusion.
  • Partner with IT and system owners to strengthen IT general controls, application controls, automated controls, and system governance.
  • Support cybersecurity-related control integration and ensure alignment with access management and change management best practices.
  • Participate in the assessment and implementation of controls addressing AI-enabled financial systems, model governance, and data integrity risks.
  • Develop internal controls supporting ESG reporting, including climate disclosures and operational sustainability metrics.
  • Monitor regulatory updates and proactively adjust internal control processes.
  • Build and deliver SOX training programs for control owners across finance, operations, IT, and program management, fostering a controls-conscious, compliance-oriented culture consistent with HawkEye 360's obligations as a public company and government contractor.
  • Continuously improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the SOX program, leveraging technology and risk-based approaches where appropriate.
  • Prepare and deliver SOX status updates to senior leadership and the Audit Committee, including creating and preparing dashboards and analytics-driven reporting.

Your skills and qualifications:Essential education and experience:
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or related field; CPA, CIA, or CISA preferred.
  • 10+ years of SOX, internal audit, ICFR, or public accounting experience, including leadership responsibilities.
  • Strong understanding of SEC and PCAOB regulations, SOX 404 requirements, and ICFR best practices.
  • Experience owning or managing SOX programs at public companies or companies preparing for SOX compliance.
  • Deep knowledge of PCAOB auditing standards, COSO Internal Control framework, and SOX Section 404 requirements.
  • Expertise in SOX compliance, ICFR frameworks, internal controls, and risk assessment.
  • Experience with automated controls, ITGCs, cloud-based environments, and cybersecurity-aligned controls.
  • Familiarity with AI governance risks and emerging controls around automated financial systems.
  • Proficiency with SOX, audit, and GRC software; ERP experience (Costpoint preferred).
  • Strong analytical, documentation, project management, and communication skills.
  • Experience creating enhanced reporting, dashboards, or metrics for senior leadership and the Audit Committee.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment, meet tight deadlines, and collaborate effectively across departments.
  • High attention to detail with a commitment to accuracy, compliance, and continuous improvement.
  • Excellent analytical, organizational, project management, and communication skills.
  • High integrity and sound judgment in a regulated, national security environment.
  • Strong written communication skills for control documentation and remediation plans as well as for board materials.
  • Effective communicator who can distill complexity into actionable insights for senior leadership.

Desirable:
  • Experience in a newly public company or with transitioning acquired entities into SOX compliance.
  • Prior Big 4 or national public accounting firm experience auditing publicly traded companies.
  • Experience implementing automated workflows, GRC tools, or scalable internal control systems.
  • Experience working in defense, national security, government contracting, aerospace or technology sectors.
  • Familiarity with FAR, CAS, indirect rate structures, and cost-reimbursable contract accounting.
