• Support the annual SOX 404 compliance process by coordinating walkthroughs, testing, and remediation follow-up across key systems and applications impacting financial reporting.
• Execute control readiness assessments and controls implementation for new acquisitions.
• Identify control gaps or process weaknesses that may lead to risk of material misstatement and provide practical, risk-based recommendations to address deficiencies.
• Collaborate closely with process owners, IT, and business leadership to validate control design, remediate deficiencies, and ensure controls are implemented effectively and on schedule.
• Maintain detailed and organized workpapers in accordance with internal audit and SOX documentation standards to support external auditor reliance.
• Assist in the development and maintenance of IT control matrices, testing procedures, and risk and control documentation to reflect changes in systems or business processes.
• Monitor and track remediation activities related to control deficiencies or audit findings, providing updates to internal stakeholders and external auditors as needed.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, including enhancements to SOX testing efficiency, automation opportunities, and audit tools.
• Stay informed on emerging risks, regulatory updates, and best practices related to SOX, IT risk management, and internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR).

• Familiarity with ERP systems (e.g., Workday, SAP), cloud platforms (e.g., Azure, AWS), and cybersecurity tools is a plus.
• Advanced technical understanding of business processes, risks, and internal controls.
