This is a fully remote role, with the base compensation expected to be between $134,400 - $168,000 annually.

  • SOX Program Execution: Manage the end-to-end SOX IT compliance calendar. Approve the annual testing approach, sampling methodology, and completed workpapers; oversee testing of design and operating effectiveness; and recommend deficiency classifications.
  • ITGC Domain Governance and Execution Oversight: Coordinate and oversee control activities across Access Controls, Change Management, Computer Operations, and SDLC, including privileged access management, access certifications, CI/CD and emergency change governance, and backup and job scheduling controls. Provide technical direction and quality review for activities performed by internal, offshore, international, and co-source resources, while directly executing higher-risk or complex control activities as needed.
  • ITAC and Key Report Testing: Approve test scripts and the completeness and accuracy validation procedures for automated application controls, interface controls, and Key Reports (IPE/IUC), and oversee their design, testing, and documentation.
  • Audit Coordination: Serve as the day-to-day point of contact for internal audit and external audit teams. Approve PBC evidence packages for completeness and accuracy prior to release to auditors, and prepare IT control reporting materials for the Audit Committee.
  • Remediation Execution: Perform root-cause analysis on identified deficiencies, approve remediation validation testing and evidence of closure, and recommend remediation plans, target dates, and residual risk positions.
  • ICFR Sub-Certification Support: Prepare and maintain the control documentation and evidence supporting the sub-certification for quarterly Section 302 and annual Section 404 management assertions.
  • Identity Governance: Approve the Segregation of Duties (SoD) ruleset design and the periodic access review methodology, administer the enterprise access governance model, and escalate access-related exceptions for risk-acceptance decisions.
  • Policy, Standards and Procedures: Approve IT standards, procedures, and control narratives aligned to COBIT, COSO, NIST CSF, and ISO 27001, and draft enterprise IT security, access, change management, and computer operations policies.

  • Global Delivery Oversight: Provide governance, technical direction, and quality review for IT SOX testing and compliance activities performed by offshore, international, and co-source resources, ensuring consistent application of the Company's control framework, testing methodology, evidence standards, and remediation practices across regions.
  • Privacy and Awareness Program Support: Perform IT control testing and evidence collection supporting the enterprise data privacy program (GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, HIPAA) and the security awareness program, in partnership with appropriate Privacy, Information Security, Legal, and People/HR stakeholders.
  • Technical Direction and Review: Provide technical direction and mentorship to analysts, offshore/international team members, and co-source resources, and approve the testing work they perform. Where this role performs testing directly, review and approval is provided by the VP of IT or a designated peer reviewer.
  • Plan Development: Approve the detailed testing calendar and resource allocation within the approved plan, including allocation of work across domestic, offshore, international, and co-source resources, and recommend the annual IT compliance testing plan, sampling strategy, and budget to the VP of IT.
