Full Job Description
What You'll Do

As a Controls Assurance Auditor, you will play a key role in evaluating and enhancing our internal control environment, with a focus on SOX / ICFR. You'll operate with a high level of ownership across the full audit lifecycle-from planning through reporting-while engaging directly with stakeholders across the business.

Key Responsibilities
  • Lead and execute SOX / ICFR testing, including walkthroughs, design assessments, and operating effectiveness testing
  • Partner with control owners and business leaders to understand processes, identify risks, and evaluate control design
  • Prepare high-quality, audit-ready workpapers and documentation aligned with audit standards
  • Collaborate with external auditors (Big 4) to coordinate testing, align on approach, and support reliance strategies
  • Identify control gaps and articulate clear, actionable deficiency assessments
  • Contribute to maintain risk and control matrix (RCM), process documentation, and ongoing control optimization
  • Support SOX scoping, planning, and risk assessment activities across business cycles
  • Track and communicate testing progress, key risks, and findings to management and stakeholders
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives in controls and processes
  • Support special projects, including system implementations and control transformation efforts

Why This Role Is a Strong Next Step from Public Accounting
  • Broader exposure: Move beyond external audits to gain deep, end-to-end understanding of business processes
  • More influence: Work directly with management to shape controls and improve operations by becoming a trusted partner
  • Career growth: Clear pathway into leadership roles within Controls Assurance, Internal Audit, or Corporate Finance
  • Global collaboration: Partner with cross-functional and international teams
  • Work-life balance: More predictable schedule compared to public accounting busy seasons and a collaborative team for vacation coverage

What You'll Gain

In this role, you'll build a foundation for long-term career growth by:
  • Developing deep expertise across financial processes, risks, and controls
  • Opportunity to learn processes and controls in your specific areas of interest within the Finance organization
  • Enhancing your ability to translate technical audit insights into business recommendations
  • Gaining visibility with senior leadership and cross-functional teams across all teams within the finance organization
  • Building the skills needed for advancement into manager-level roles in Controls Assurance, Internal Audit, or Finance


Basic Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
  • 3+ years of experience in public accounting (Big 4 or regional firm) or advisory/consulting in SOX/internal controls
  • Strong experience with SOX / ICFR testing and documentation
  • Solid understanding of financial reporting processes and risk frameworks
  • Proven ability to work in fast-paced, team-oriented environments

Preferred Qualifications
  • CPA, CA, CIA, CISA, or equivalent certification (or in progress)
  • Experience working with GRC tools and data analytics
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to engage confidently with stakeholders at all levels
  • Experience managing multiple priorities and delivering high-quality results under deadlines
  • Exposure to multinational or cross-border audit environments is a plus
