  • Ensure deficiencies are properly evaluated, supported with sufficient evidence, and aggregated in accordance with SOX methodology, including root cause analysis, severity assessment, and alignment with management's conclusion.
  • Support walkthroughs and PBC coordination by preparing documentation, aligning control owners on expectations, facilitating auditor discussions, and proactively addressing follow-up inquiries to minimize rework.
  • Strengthen IPE governance and key report testing by ensuring completeness and accuracy procedures are clearly documented, reports are appropriately validated, and testing standards are applied consistently across manual and automated controls.
  • Identify and deliver SOX training requirements by assessing knowledge gaps (particularly for new control owners), developing targeted training materials, and providing ongoing education to reinforce accountability, documentation standards, and control awareness.

What you need to succeed at GXO:
  • Three or more years' experience with SOX 404 compliance and internal controls evaluation that followed a controls framework, including all phases of evaluation, documentation, testing, and remediation.
  • The ideal person will have either public accounting or combination of public & industry (public company) internal audit experience.
  • Prior experience of US owned groups.
  • Strong background in financial accounting and audit.
  • Advanced Excel skills.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail.
