This is a senior individual contributor and people-leadership role that sits at the intersection of finance, compliance, and technology-responsible for ensuring our systems infrastructure is scalable, audit-ready, and aligned with the demands of a public company operating under SOX Section 404(b).

You will lead a team and act as the primary owner of our financial systems strategy, partnering closely with Accounting, Legal, HR, Billing, and IT to design and maintain a controlled environment that meets Big 4 audit scrutiny.

    • Design and maintain control documentation, including risk and control matrices, narratives, and process flowcharts for all financially relevant systems.
    • Partner with internal audit and outside advisors to proactively identify and remediate control gaps and deficiencies before audit fieldwork.

    • Establish and enforce change management policies, including change request processes, UAT protocols, and go-live approval gates.
    • Drive automation and process optimization initiatives across the finance and supply chain systems landscape.
  • Cross-Functional Leadership & Stakeholder Partnership
    • Act as the strategic liaison between Finance, Accounting, HR, Legal and IT, ensuring system design and project delivery align with operational needs and compliance requirements.
    • Lead and mentor a team of Finance Systems analysts and administrators, setting clear goals, priorities, and professional development plans.
    • Partner with the Controller and CFO to ensure systems readiness for monthly close, quarterly reporting, and audit cycles.
    • Develop and maintain executive-level reporting on system health, project status, and risk exposure.
    • Manage vendor relationships for key finance technology providers, including contract negotiations and performance reviews.
  • Audit Readiness & Documentation
    • Maintain comprehensive IT SOX documentation including control descriptions, testing evidence, and remediation tracking across all audit cycles.
    • Prepare systems-level audit responses and coordinate responses to auditor requests with speed and precision.
    • Ensure all financial systems provide full traceability, data integrity, and documentation required for external reporting and audit.

  • Experience with SOX-relevant systems including HRIS, equity management platforms, and related revenue recognition systems.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; ability to present complex controls and systems topics clearly to executive audiences and external auditors.
  • Proven ability to lead, develop, and retain a team in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
