About the role

  • Define and evolve a consistent SOX/ICFR readiness framework across FRM efforts (shared standards, key checkpoints, and what “done” looks like).
  • Create clear roles, decision paths, and escalation routes so work moves quickly and consistently.
  • Maintain a consolidated view of priorities, progress, and risks, translating it into crisp leadership updates and decision asks.
  • Partner with workstream leads and co-sourced teams to ensure outputs are consistent, high-quality, and leadership-ready.
  • Stand up program frameworks and playbooks for emerging priorities, including but not limited to M&A, hardware, and systems build-outs.
  • Run targeted assessments for new/changed areas and translate them into clear expectations, owners, and timelines.

Requirements

  • A Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or related field (CPA/CIA a plus).
  • 8–12+ years of experience in SOX/ICFR, internal controls, internal audit, or financial process transformation—ideally with time in a high-growth environment.
  • Demonstrated the ability to **build programs**: operating models, governance, workplans, stakeholder cadences, and durable artifacts.
  • Experience supporting M&A or transaction-related controls (deal governance, integration controls, valuations/supporting documentation, close/readiness).
  • A strong understanding of ICFR, COSO, and control design/testing methodologies (preventive vs detective, automated vs manual, ITAC/ITGC familiarity).
  • Excellent stakeholder management and executive communication, and the ability to drive decisions and outcomes across competing priorities.
  • Strong writing and documentation skills (narratives, decision logs, playbooks, RCMs) with a bias toward clarity and usability.
  • Familiarity with ERP/subledger and GRC tooling (e.g., Oracle/NetSuite/Workday; AuditBoard/Workiva) is a plus.
Benefits
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your family, with employer contributions to Health Savings Accounts
  • Pre-tax accounts for Health FSA, Dependent Care FSA, and commuter expenses (parking and transit)
  • 401(k) retirement plan with employer match
  • Paid parental leave (up to 24 weeks for birth parents and 20 weeks for non-birthing parents), plus paid medical and caregiver leave (up to 8 weeks)
  • Paid time off: flexible PTO for exempt employees and up to 15 days annually for non-exempt employees
  • 13+ paid company holidays, and multiple paid coordinated company office closures throughout the year for focus and recharge, plus paid sick or safe time (1 hour per 30 hours worked, or more, as required by applicable state or local law)
  • Mental health and wellness support
  • Employer-paid basic life and disability coverage
  • Annual learning and development stipend to fuel your professional growth
  • Daily meals in our offices, and meal delivery credits as eligible
  • Relocation support for eligible employees
  • Additional taxable fringe benefits, such as charitable donation matching and wellness stipends, may also be provided.
